eat your heart out thursday - mango mexican cafe

last night, husband and i went out on a date. we ate at a little place in downtown mesa. in my head, i figured this was going to be another run of the mill hole in the wall mexican food restaurant that tasted like filbertos or betos. mango mexican cafe is sooooo much more. the party in my mouth started from the first bite of salsa and is still happening. seriously - i am still savoring that killer burrito i devoured hours later.

the salsa was superior to any i have ever tasted before. it was fresh and had the perfect level of heat. after all the chips were gone, i wanted to drink the rest. husband convinced me that course of action would be a little extreme, so i refrained.


the killer burrito shocked me even more than the salsa. most burritos lack any flavor when it come to the meat. the chicken in this burrito was jam packed with flavor! that first bite was a love fest to my taste buds. the most amazing thing about this burrito was that it was light. after downing that thing in minutes, i was left super satisfied and sans gut bomb.


husband had a fish burrito. it is a very typical move for him to get something fishy when we eat out mexican. mango threw a curve ball though, and offered something special to their fish filled options. please note that having grown up in so cal, husband loves all things citrus. there were chunks of orange wrapped in that tortilla, along with yummy fish and cabbage. fish and citrus? yes please!

i'm pretty sure i will be dreaming about the killer burrito for days. mango mexican cafe is - hands down - my new favorite mexican food spot.
