Wasn't aware there was a spot in Detroit that's speciality was Mangonada's, so had to give it a try.
The inside is bright and colorful, reminds you of something you'd see in Southern California or Mexico. When you walk in there's a small seating area, walking further in and there's the menu/where you order. There are various flavors of ice cream, chocolate covered bananas, Mango treats, etc to chose from.
I got the Mangonada Queen and Elote with crushed Flaming Hot Cheetos. The MQ consists of - Mango, chili powder, lime, chamoy (sweet + spicy). It's the perfect combination of sweet, spicy and salty/tangy. This Mangonada was more on the spicy side compared to others I've had, but overall good. The Elote was amazing. I am picky with my Elote and prefer it on the cob, compared to in a cup - but this did not disappoint. The corn, cojita, and hot Cheetos perfectly complimented each other. Each bite was spicy and flavorful.
The employees were friendly and everyone was wearing masks/gloves - safely following COVID protocols.
Definitely recommend and will be back to try other items off the menu!
