Mangos Cantina and Grill Leeds — Restaurant in Leeds

Aces through and through. Our waitress was superb. She knew a 200 item menu inside and out. Very professional and five star service. We are never needy at dinner but she just added the special touch. She kept empty plates moved out and brought more. She was delightful. I never heard her name well enough to try to spell it here. She was wonderful.

Mz Ashley, aka: "she who must be obeyed", had steak fajita Nachos. Plenty of steak in a classic beefy sauce with grilled bell peppers and onions, plus a mountain of nachos. Lots of flavor in every bite.

I got the rib-eye steak with baked potato and a salad. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. Fork tender with just a touch of fat around the lobe and in the groove just like every ribeye should. It was almost half the size of the plate. Probably 14 oz or larger.

The baked potato was an Idaho baker and as flaky as can be. The butter and cheese gave it a full mix of flavor. It needed nothing. It was too hot to eat. I tried to get disibility from the burn in my mouth. It was the best potato I've had in a while. I'll think of it every time I feel the burned spot and smile.

LITTLE THINGS LIKE A MARVELOUS POTATO SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT THE QUALITY AND THE EFFORTS OF THE STAFF AT A REALLY GREAT RESTAURANT.

My salad was fresh and flavorful. I could write a book about the onions. White onions, fresh and mean as an ex mother-in-law. A serious bite of flavor from these onions. The rest of the greens were just as fresh. Dressing choices were limited but that didn't spoil anything. Lastly, I saw Pineapple on the menu somewhere. I asked for some grilled Pineapple with just a little red pepper flakes added. I wanted just a dessert bowl full. What I got was a plate covered with fresh grilled cubes of heaven sprinkled lightly with the red pepper flakes. WOW. Hot to the touch and just a hint of the pepper flakes. Made a spicy but sweet dessert. Not on the menu but...

Terrible (as in, almost non-existent) service. My friend and I were there for three hours on a Friday afternoon, from 2-5 pm, the parking lot was almost empty when we arrived and the place was still not busy when we left but we literally had no one come to check on us after our food was brought to our table - no one checked to make sure our food was okay, no one asked if we needed drink refills, no one even looked our way until someone brought our tickets three hours later. We were seated in a main "thoroughfare" and other people were being served around us - we just seemed to be invisible. Our orders Were taken promptly and we did not have to wait long to receive our food, it was just everything After that. Thankfully the food was good and for once I didn't care for a drink refill - I would have flagged someone down if I had needed something - but I appreciate at least a minimum effort. We typically leave a bigger tip than normal when we stay a long time, but not that day for sure. I have been there once before with a large group and the service was great that time, so I won't let my most recent experience keep me from going back if I'm over that way as I imagine it was just a fluke, and the food was good...

Trying to celebrate The Grand Princess Birthday 🥳 admist the Covid. We were asked would we do a table, I responded I’d rather do a booth for comfort. Mind you yes it’s Covid, still social distancing. We were directed to the very back of the restaurant which is located through a set of doors all the way in the back. I tell the waitress I feel uncomfortable and will not be sitting here. She just walks off. I go to counter where she is and ask, so are the other booths which are respecting social distance reserved? She said no. I ask so why is there no other section 🙍🏼respecting the distance. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I mean literally. I then say, ok we’ll try to wait only bc my Grand Princess ask. 1.5 minutes later a table is free. 5 minutes later 👨‍👩‍👧 Is seated directed next to use. Social Distancing., oh ok. She act like she wasn’t cognizant of her actions or just didn’t care. I presumed to tell my children about biases and discrimination. Not saying that’s what it was. Just for them to be aware of what they have to...
