Mangan Tana — Restaurant in Pampanga

Alright, so Mangan Tana is a spot you hit up when you're craving some serious Kapampangan comfort food. It's not about fancy plating or a super modern vibe; it's more about that homey, "lola's cooking" kind of feel. You'll find all the classic hits – sisig, kare-kare, beef kaldereta, lechon kawali, fried chicken, etcetera– and they're generally done really well.

Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry, and the prices are pretty reasonable, which is always a plus. It can get pretty busy, especially during peak hours, so be prepared for a bit of a wait.

It's just a fly folks, we are all still alive and healthy.lol

Tired of having fastfood, or simply wanting a much healthier variation? This still is a good place. Tasty, and portions are good. Fairly good quality Filipino food. No fuss.

Coming here would make you feel that the pandemic really has changed the fun we used to have when we eat out - no buffet, and no music. I do understand if they need to not offer the former, but at least have some music please to at least help with the mood. But, yes, if you just want reasonably priced food, then this is a...

We came in to have breakfast. They offer all you can eat breakfast so we tried it. Wow all there food except the congee was COLD like eating left overs!!! I told the waitress and she said I will let the manager know Sir. Nothing happened they just look at you. I ordered something out from their menu to have something hot like Bulalo. When the Bulalo came it was hot but the meat was so tough!! We did not eat anything good from this restaurant. Please to the owner of this place if you read this review please do something because your place is a disgrace to the Kapampangan community of...
