Mangonadas Mexican Kitchen

Found Mangonadas Mexican Kitchen because we were thirsty for agua frescas. They had horchata and Agua de jamaica(hibiscus). We ended up with much more. We ordered a horchata and Mangonada. Since they are called Mangonada, I must order it. My hubby lately wants churros like crazy so churros with ice cream was also ordered and I took birria tacos to go. The girl working was sooo friendly and helpful. She offered us a good size sample of the Agua de Jamaica. She also let me know how the Mangonada was. We agreed on the tajin seasoning on the side just in case it was spicy for me. Which it is as not and was so good. I never had one before. She always had a smile on her face & made sure we didn't need anything. At the end, we both enjoyed our drinks and churros so much, I had to order birria tacos to go.I had the birria tacos the next day since I warmed them up in the air fryer and they were so good, crunchy, & flavorful.Everything was awesome from start to finishThis location is in back of a gas station so it's a bit of a different find, but surely this place belongs on Diners, Drive In's, & Dives.Talk about cheaper great eats, & good drinks, & snacks with a smile.

I've been hell-bent on getting fresas con crema (strawberries with cream) ever since I tried it randomly at the Houston Rodeo, and I'm glad I was able to find it just 5 minutes from where I live!Obviously, I got the fresas con crema as depicted in my skillfully taken photo. The strawberries were perfectly ripe, and I loved how light and refreshing the cream was! The only thing I was a bit disappointed by was I saw pictures of this both on the menu and google reviews beforehand, hoping to see all the fun wafers and candies on top. Maybe it was because I got it to go, though I also wish they at least included a lid for the cup because fumbling with this thing to the car was a little too exciting for me.I definitely would like to try an actual meal here next time, as though this did finally put my cravings to an end I can only imagine their other foods must be amazing.

Feeling hungry on Taco Tuesday? Look no further I have just the spot, Mangonadas is a nice little hole in the wall with some awesome tacos at a great value 4 for 6$!! My they I tried all 4 options they had available but my personal favorites were the chicken and pork. If you dine in they also give you a complementary chips and salsa which is nice.

Hands down the best mangonada i've ever had. I have been obsessed with mangonadas since moving to Tampa and this has to be the best yet it has so much flavor overall so delicious!

I went here on a Sunday afternoon with my sister. The service was excellent (in spite of them not knowing English very well) and the food was flavourful!Chips & Salsa- the chips were freshly fried and came complimentary with dining inside! They were not as dense as they looked! It was light and tasty! The salsa tasted very fresh. My sister felt some heat from it but I couldn't say the same! 4.5/5Esquite- absolutely delicious! It was sliced corn from the cob topped with mayo, lime juice, tajin and chili powder. I could eat multiple bowls of this. The tang from the lime juice and tajin mixed with the creaminess of the mayo is a nice balance on your palate. Not spicy! 5/5Quesabirria and Consommé- these were nicely crisp and the cheese melty! My sister thought the beef was too chewy so this did not resonate with her well. I thought it was chewy, but not so chewy. Maybe it was the choice in meat cut. The consommé was delicious and not overly salty! They just have to get the beef texture more soft. 4/5Chorizo California Burrito- the chorizo was delicious, a bit over cooked but still delicious! The burrito also could have been more crispy! They green chili sauce paired amazingly with this burrito because it added an acidity that was needed to cut the heaviness of the burrito. 4/5Horchata- it was very refreshing, it could be just a little less sweet but I've had extremely sweet horchatas before so this one was a welcomed change! 4/5

They are really good and take pride in their business and food. Don't ever disrespect me and not come to Mangonadas when you hit up Tampa.

Everything was perfect. The mangonadas are insanely delicious. Serviced was on point and quick.

The best Mexican food! The owner is awesome too! Reminds me of back home which is a small Mexican town near Chicago. People might not think since it's next to a gas station but the inside is nice and clean!

I've reviewed this place before and I have to again because it's still amazing food and service. Don't let the location deter you - next to a chevron station. It's clean. The service is great and the tacos can't be beat.

Food is bangin! Service is friendly and pretty fast. The vibe is very friendly and authentic. Love the burrito here so full and big. Flavors will make you over eat.
