La Mangonada Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Greenland

I will start by saying that I grew up in an area which is predominantly Hispanic. I can't rate the staff or the restaurant because I did take out. I bought a beef taco, an chicken enchilada with red sauce, a Chile rellano with Green sauce and an order of beans and rice. I ordered a horchata to drink. The taco shell was property fried. We don't see that too often in this area. The beef was not seasoned, from what I could tell. There was very little cheese and lettuce. At first, I thought they forgot the cheese . There were no tomatoes. The enchilada sauce was thick and very tomato flavored. I would honestly say it was a close cousin to Marina sauce. It was definitely unique but it ruined the enchilada for me. The Chile rellano was good. The green sauce had a nice flavor with tomatillo, garlic and jalapenos. It was mild, not spicy. The pepper was big and the batter was good. The beans and rice were just ok. I ordered a side, and it was definitely enough for 2 people. The salsa needs a kick. It was not spicy at all, and it was bland. The horchata came in a large cup. It was ok. It was not the worst or the best I've had. If you are white and came from this part of the country, then you will probably like it. I think this restaurant caters to that crowd, which is understandable. If you are Hispanic then you will find it lacking just as I did. I hope the owners consider this as constructive criticism. I am happy that we have a Mexican restaurant in Greenland and applaud you for...

It could be because they're new, but our experience wasn't pleasant at all. The workers had their small infant and toddler there and the infant was crying hysterically for quite a while with noone checking on it at all (however I get it when you gotta work, you do what you have to do). Service was extremely slow with only two kitchen workers, one waitress working the register, and one other waitress taking orders and serving food....with 32 people to serve. The food wasn't good. Salsa tasted like straight spaghetti sauce, the queso was a weird chalky consistency that didn't taste good, and my son's chimichanga was a wet burrito instead of a deep-fried one. Bonus - he felt sick afterwards for the rest of the day. I was really hopeful but unfortunately we won't be back. However, I do...

This is not authentic Mexican Food. There is no flavor and absolutely no spice at all. This is a bland white-washed, watered down attempt at Mexican food. Don't waste your time or money, and definitely don't punish your taste buds by eating here. Enchilada sauce tastes like a ketchup, Marina sauce concoction. No flavor! Where is the garlic, the onion, the cumin, the Mexican orgengo, ANY kind of chili pepper! I can't even begin on the taco, just cooked ground beef with no seasoning, literally like two shreds of cheese and some lettuce. I am Mexican American and was raised in a predominantly Hispanic area, this food would get you kicked out of town. Chef, call your Abuelita and ask for...
