Mango's Restaurant Analysis
This week’s restaurant review brings us to Mango’s Mexican and American grill located at 2901 Main Ave, Fargo, ND. The authentic Mexican joint featuring homemade delicacies has plenty to offer if you are looking for the full Mexican experience. You may miss the restaurant due to the small sign but once you locate the building you are in for a good time. The atmosphere stands out from the time you enter the door to a Spanish greeting. The employees all of which spoke great English were also very fluent in Spanish. The decorations were very festive almost as if you were at a Cinco de Mayo party at a restaurant South of the border. The atmosphere was enhanced even more by the very bright and energetic Spanish colors that catch your eye immediately.

The tortilla which was undercooked on all the enchiladas had a rubbery texture to it and the cheese was sparse. The cheese enchilada managed to be worse. The cheeses that were not melted were wrapped in another bad tortilla and had absolutely no flavor. The beef enchilada has the potential to be good but the beef itself could use some work. It tasted as if it had no seasonings and paired with a little cheese there was nothing there to brag about. Lastly the chicken enchilada was the only one of the four that had a right to be on the menu. The chicken was very good just like in the taquitos and was a nice treat after the poor taste of the enchiladas that preceded it. The tortilla was not good, but the chicken was able to make up for it. Of the four enchiladas the chicken was the only one that didn’t have to be drenched in sauce to make it edible. The sides were about as opposite as possible. The refried beans were just as bland as the bean enchilada and there was nothing that could be done to improve the taste. The Spanish rice was delicious. It had great flavor and should be put in some of the enchiladas to do something to help with the lack of
