Mango’s Cafe is a Peruvian treasure, located in Mount Laurel, NJ. The dining experience, that this restaurant offers daily, is unmatched. I was most impressed with the food quality and the superior customer service level I received. Thank you. Have a blessed day.

Great food, but a bit expensive. Five entrees for take-out came to $81. The food was delicious and was more than enough for four hungry adults. Will definitely eat here again, but probably just four entrees. 😅

Peruvian food, who knew and didn't tell me? So good! The purple corn drink is surprisingly good. It's an Incan recipe. Check this place out if you're in the Mt Laurel area. You won't be disappointed.

Great little Peruvian spot. Go with the arroz con pollo, the chicken was good but the rice was a real winner. The veggies cooked in really gave each bite a nice pop of flavor. The lomo saltado was another delicious choice. The sauce could make anything taste great. Also if you’re looking for some heat, the green salsa is amazing.

It's cafeteria style here so you order st the counter. Service is really friendly and the portions are huge. The Lomo Saltado, sweet plantains and the Peruvian chicken are all really delicious. Would definitely eat here again!

It’s definitely different… You place your with the lady at the register, and you prepay regardless of you dining in. The whole chicken looks nothing like the picture, skin is soggy not baked crispy. It wasn’t bad, it’s basically a small bird. The Spanish rice is actually good, but for the family meal it’s basically an 8oz container serving for 4 people. The pina colada milkshake tasted watered down, thats with it having ice cream. The ceviche was the hit, really good! That hit the spot!! It was okay, nothing out of this world in my opinion.

I am a big fan of Peruvian cuisine, and I was very happy to discover this restaurant in SJ. Previously, I would go to Philadelphia or NYC, but now I know this amazing place! Very cute and clean restaurant, wonderful owners from Lima. Food was freshly made to order and tasted delicious. Very good sized portions! My absolute favorite is ceviche and yuca frita with garlic sauce. I plan to be back soon to explore other delicious dishes from Peru.

We had a fantastic experience at Mango's! I was visiting family in town and since they grew up in Peru, we wanted to find authentic Peruvian food. It was lovely. We had the lomo saltado, ají de gallina, and of course ceviche. Absolutely delicious and generous portions as well. The staff were so kind and came out to talk to us after our meal. We took our desert home but everyone enjoyed the tres leches cake and flan. I will definitely be back next time I visit!

A cozy Peruvian restaurant nestled in Mount Laurel, NJ. The workers there were friendly & helpful with any questions you have. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Portions are plenty - you will walk away feeling very full and still have food leftover to take home. Their tres leches was very good & not too sweet! Only thing I was disappointed with was the flan, it had more of a gelatin consistency than a custard consistency. Would love to return to try more dishes, they have so many options on their menu.

Chicken soup with black beans so good..I made white rice at home in the rice cooker and it was delicious!

Wow. I've ordered here quite a few times, but after tonight, I'm so turned off. I was placing an order for a large chicken and a bunch of sides. I asked for small sides and the lady had an attitude, then said I needed to place a minimum of $50 since I live in Marlton, despite delivering to me multiple times. My order was 44 and I could easily have ordered more but I didn't want to take a chance that her nasty might spill into my food. I get it if the sale isn't worth it, but to lose a customer is such bad business. I'm pretty sure i'm over this place now.

My family and I went to dinner there this past Saturday night. I went to the counter to place our order for my parents and myself, while doing this I forgot to ask for chicken instead of beef with my order. When the food arrived I told the waiter what happened and he took the food back to the counter. I went over and explained that I was flustered when ordering for everyone and forgot to change to chicken. Here's the sad part, I was told "there was nothing she could do" and " I would have to order another $20 platter." I kindly asked if she could remove the beef and add chicken, she told me, "no, that can't happen." It was bad business, rude and unkind. Even though the food is good, the experience has left a nasty taste in my mouth.

Authentic and delicious good eats! Tried the sopa de pollo (chicken noodle soup) and it didn't disappoint! My older one had the Lomo Saltado and he ate the whole meal! We will be back :)

We just stopped by for dinner and it was great! The people who work working there tonight were so nice and helpful. I LOVED their ceviche- the flavors were great. The curry was good but I really liked their Peruvian chicken and the tallarin saltado mix! It's a great spot, so many options on the menu. Highly recommend!

Would love to come here more often but it's just a little too expensive. Jalea and chicken are the best and only in the area. Tried random other dishes and I haven't found anything I didn't like!

First time there and it'll be the last time. I asked any one of the 3 people for a menu. I got no response. I had to ask 2 more times. I finally placed my order. The wait time was reasonable. As I was being handed my order, I was told that there was no avocado in it because they weren't ripe yet. It would've been proper to inform me before the wrap was made. I felt this was very poor customer service and asked for my money back. I gave the change back and received my $20 back. Not going back.

I ordered a beef dinner on 6/23/22 late in the evening, after getting home I realized that they had given me a chicken dinner instead. I called back and spoke to a gentlemen named Ricardo, who went on to accuse me of saying chicken, and insisted that there was not a mistake. Ricardo then paused and stated he was waiting for me to suggest a solution to fix the issue. (Most bizarre thing ever) After a long drive home, I did not want to go back out again. I offered to pick up the correct order the next day. Ricardo went on to tell me that this is a loss for their business. (insinuating that this wouldn't be happening) I have never had someone accuse me of lying like this before. The situation could have been fixed easily, but this conversation left me feeling uncomfortable and upset. I hope others do not have to experience this in the future. Honestly, unsure if I would want to dine here again. It's unfortunate because the food is exceptional.

A good friend of mine and fellow Yelper, suggested this restaurant. (Homerun!) I brought my wife along to try it out. It's a small, but clean and inviting restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you have any questions, about any menu items, feel free to ask, you will get helpful tips. The dining area isn't big, but the tables are spaced far enough apart, that you dont feel packed in like sardines while dining. My wife and I both had Papa Rellenas as our appetizers. It's not a stuffed baked potato, but mashed potatoes rolled and stuffed with ground beef, beans and egg. and baked. Very tasty dish! My wife had the Arroz con Pollo. I had the Lomo Soltado with Spanish Rice and two Chica Moradas drinks. You can get tea and smoothies also. When you come in you get your menu, from the register area, place your order, pay (Apple Pay, cash or credit/debit) and have a seat. Your prepared food will be brought to your table. (There isn't a waiter/waitress that takes your order.) If you use credit/debit, there is a minimum $10 charge.

Great little Peruvian spot. Go with the arroz con pollo, the chicken was good but the rice was a real winner. The veggies cooked in really gave each bite a nice pop of flavor. The lomo saltado was another delicious choice. The sauce could make anything taste great. Also if you're looking for some heat, the green salsa is amazing.

Clean restaurant and yummy fajitas! My husband loves this place especially when we get sick of all our pizza go to's

This place is great and the staff is extremely friendly! Very helpful and kind! Definitely going back and trying something new

The food here is so good that I came here 2 days in a row. Perfect seasoning and portion sizes. It was very busy when I went there, I ordered take out along with most of the customers and we all waited patiently. The staff didn't get flustered but instead remained friendly and accommodating. I love this place and I definitely recommend you giving them your business. Yummy

I have come to Mango's twice after going to the Paws farm next door. Basically Paws is for my kid and Mango's is for me! The Peruvian flavor is great and something I really miss from living in North Jersey. Besides great authentic Peruvian dishes, they also make other Latin dishes with great flavor. Our favorite plates to order are the roasted chicken, the roasted pork, and lomo salteado. I highly recommend them, or just pick your own as the menu has pictures to help you choose. They also make fresh smoothies which are delicious! As for the store front, it is decorated adorably with llamas and catcii, it is like the Target version of Peru. The place is clean and the service is friendly.

Stumbled across this little whole in the wall spot, I would have never noticed if it wasn't for Wawa being few stores down. Nice to see cultural food in an area as mount laurel. I have now eaten here quite a few times now. Customer service is decent, food is good and the smoothies are as well. The tostones are decent, just wished it was smashed more thinly and crispy and had garlic. The plantains are great with any meal like the half chicken I had purchase. Don't forget the sauce they have to offer. It's a light green color it's taste great on the chicken and rice. For an extra cup of the sauce it's about a dollar maybe. Small cozy place seats about 20 people max. Great for lunch or dinner with friends and family. This place would be at HIT if they had BYOB!

Came here before heading to funeral and was going to go to Manila cafe but had to try something new. Got the pork meal with Spanish rice and added tostones. This came out fairly quickly as I asked if this would be. The rice was good and so was the pork with the green sauce which actually was spicy. This was a good filling meal much needed and I would have to possibly come back for the wknd specials and maybe the chicken which i was told is one of their main dishes. This is a good addition to mount laurel since there aren't many local good Peruvian Spanish places outside of philly Camden.

Absolutely love Mango's! With the pandemic and then a newborn, take out from Mango's has been a god-send. The menu is HUGE, so even if you are not an adventurous eater, there is something for everyone. We love the milanesa sandwich, all the roast chicken dishes, but our favorites are the chicken and pork burritos. The portion sizes are amazing and you will get bang for your buck. Get a side of the Spanish rice and thank me later.

I have been here a couple times, I've given it a fair shake and was not impressed. I feel that the food was watered down in the sense that the true "Peruvian cuisine" did not have a chance to shine. Some of the food seemed very bland and tasteless just wasn't a good experience for me. Also the prices were pretty pricy, no offense but if I'm going to be charged for steak, I better be getting it. I've grown up eating Peruvian food, and was expecting something great but was disappointed.

Mango's Café is located in yet another South Jersey strip mall in Lumberton, near Mt. Holly. The space it self is very bright and clean. There is a good amount of seating, probably for 23-30 patrons. Mango's Café has a pretty large menu on illuminated signs above the counter. One orders from the very pleasant staff and they bring the food to your table when ready. My party of three ordered a few dishes. To start with, we had the plantains and yucca fries. The plantains were excellent, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The yucca fries were good also and came with a good dipping (Aji Pollero) sauce. I ordered the Pollo a la Brasa. This was cooked very well and was moist. I liked the seasoning also on the chicken. The Arroz Chaufa, which was like Latin/Asian fried rice, was also good. The Lomo Saltado, which was a stir-fried beef, was just OK for me. It wasn't bad at all but it didn't have the flavors I was expecting, maybe a bit on the bland side. Mango's Café had a pretty good Tres Leches, not as good as Tierra Colombiana in Philadellphia, but still pretty good. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The prices were reasonable and the food came out fairly fast. I would definitely recommend Mango's Café if in the Mt. Holly area. They don't serve wine or beer but a Liquor store is right next door! 3.5 Yelp stars

Yummy Peruvian food! A lot of people were taking out food orders. My husband and I actually dined in at the restaurant. We felt safe and I felt that everyone was spaced apart from each other. The food was delicious and their serving size was great! I had the arroz con pollo and it was so good. Their spicy green sauce was SPICY but so worth it. Just thinking about it makes me salivate. I'm not sure how they get the sauce like that but it was definitely delicious .

I did a takeout lunch and tried the ¼ Peruvian Chicken with Spanish Rice. What a great meal! The chicken was roasted perfectly, and the Spanish Rice was very favorable. The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean with a friendly staff. The menu has some other great dishes that are reasonably priced that I will be back to try!

We had an event for our company of 275 employees for Hispanic Heritage and couldn't say enough about the delicious food! The plantains and tostones were incredible! Let's not forget the homemade chips and guacamole. Thank you Ricardo for such wonderful service.

WOW! First time at this cafe in Mt Laurel. And we will be back for sure. The cafe is bright and colorful. The order counter is friendly, helpful and efficient. The menu is quite extensive. I ordered the Pescado Frito and asked for black beans with it. I was told that black beans only come with the Spanish Rice, but the lady recommended the white beans instead. So glad I ordered it, as it really made my meal! My husband ordered the Tallarin Saltado Mix and ate every last bit of the enormous plate. My son ordered a steak dish with the white beans and rice and he also loved it. I brought the remainder of my dinner home since I couldn't finish mine. I noticed quite a few patrons ordered the well priced smoothies which looked not only enormous, but looked quite refreshing. I will be back to order one - possibly tomorrow. We took a take out menu with us as my husband said, "this will be our new favorite!"

Pro: A good plate of food indeed! Usually when I try Peruvian food, I go with the Lomo Saltado. However, the staff convinced me to try out the Arroz Con Pollo; it did not disappoint! The jalapeno hot sauce on the side made it even that much better! Good portion sizes too! Con: A bit pricey for a lunch ($17 for food and a bottled water). Also, the food took a while to arrive to the table, despite a relatively empty place. A good thing takes time, I suppose.. Bottom Line: Good stuff, will try the Lomo next visit!

Cute café with great staff and great good. The staff took their time and went over any questions we had regarding the menu. The portions are definitely worth it.

Stopped by to have lunch and saw tthis Peruvian food place. I love Peruvian food, so I was excited to try this restaurant. I was so disappointed, the food was tasteless and very expensive. I will not be back to Mango's cafe.

amazing peruvian place!! family owned business and they do a great job everytime (: !

I have been going to this place for years when they were first in Lumberton then moved to Mt laurel. I have always loved their dishes. But the past 3 times I went the food tasted like it has been microwaved. Luke warm & does not taste fresh. I am disappointed in that & will be giving them a break, if I even return.

The food was great. Very clean inside. Customer service was on point. I would recommend to anyone in the area that likes Peruvian cuisine.

I like this food, but I'm pretty sure I've eaten it too much already, lol. That rice and beans (cooked with bacon) and chicken with green sauce is highly addictive lol. I found this place when I made my way over to the UPS Store nearby, and with a catchy name like "Mango's Cafe" I had to know what it was all about. When I Yelped it I knew this was something I needed to share with with the Hoosband. It was a easy decision to agree that we're going to eat from this spot. As I mentioned before my go to is the rice with chicken and a side of sweet plaintains. Their guacamole is pretty good, too.

I've never had Peruvian food before, but it was a great meal. Loved everything we tried! Staff was so sweet. New treat: Inca Kola that I've never seen anywhere before.

This spot is super cute! My husband and I split the platanos and they were so sweet and soft. I ordered arroz chaufa con pollo and it was DELICIOUS. My husband ordered the lomo saltado and didn't even share. The portion sizes are huge, too. Will definitely be going back!

Gave them another chance and again they got the order wrong. She will stand there and argue about it. I know what I said I was there. I just walked out.

Mango's Cafe serves delicious food. It's a must try. I had the basil pasta w/ a side salad. My husband ordered a steak burrito. He has also ordered their chicken in the past and says it's one of the best! We both enjoyed our meal. Maria the owner is very nice and welcoming.

Today I went to the restaurant in search of something to eat. Remind you it's Covid so I decided to sit outside and talk to my daughter and make sure I get her order right the lady comes outside and says the seats are for customers only I said yes I'm looking on my phone at the menu. I go inside and say can I see your menu because I thought it might be different from the one that I was looking at on my phone. She said I thought you were looking at it on your phone I just wanted something to eat mind you I don't think she's black friendly

I started coming here due to the other location in Lumberton closing. I don't know if they changed the cooks but the food is much different now, is not good is what I mean. When ordering I have to constantly tell them not to dry my rice or meats(steak or chicken) otherwise they do it. I still continue to go as they are a friendly establishment but due to the last experience with them I will lot nor do I recommend coming back to this place. They lady who's also the owner incorrectly order my food, I didn't see the product until I arrived back home which was after they were closed. I called back but they stop taking calls after they close even tho they're still physically in the building. The following day I called and left a message for the lady and she returned my call. I told her even tho most of my order was wrong It'll be ok as long as one of the orders got corrected but she refused and instead offered me a 10% discount on my next visit to which I politely declined. I advised her I would not be coming back and she will lose more clients this way and I would be posing this on my review sites, the lady said she doesn't care and to do as I please. So yeah, many years of coming to mangoes but no more.

I used to go to Mangos when they were in Lumberton, NJ. And it was sooooo good. But I moved and it wasn't convenient to go over there. Then I finally made it to the location in Mount Laurel. I was so excited. I ordered the Lomo Soltado a la Pobre. It was soooo bad! I don't know what the heck happened?! Was the cook angry and he took it out my steak. I've never had steak so freaking tough lololol...you know when you actually have to drink some water to get some hydration in the meat to swallow...that's how dry it was. I will not go back...

My friends family owns this place! I drove an hour to eat here! Food was delicious! We ordered almost the entire menu. Must tries are arroz con pollo and ceviche! those are my favorites!

1/4 chicken was great and enough for me. The white sauce that came with it was awesome! Prices are decent. Love the setup of the Mt. Laurel location. Will def go back again!

The food is decent, but the portions are small and they sometimes find a way to beat you out of their promotional coupons. For example, I recently had a coupon for free churros if the order was over $50.00. My order came to $53.00 and change. I asked the gentleman on the phone if I could apply my coupon, and he said yes so long as I paid cash. When I got to the restaurant, I took the coupon out of my pocket and the women at the counter immediately said "You can't combine!" I wasn't sure what she meant, so I just said, "Oh, I'm not trying to combine. I just have a coupon for free churros." She said, "You can't use it because your order is under $50.00 before tax". I looked at the receipt, and it was $49.97 before tax. I said, "But it's $53.00 total". She said, "It has to be before tax!" even though that's not what it says on the coupon and that's not what the guy said on the phone. I told her that the man told me on the phone that I could use the coupon, and she just repeated that it has to be before tax, and invited me to buy something else to make up the extra 3 cents and then I could have the churros. I didn't want to argue about it, so I just paid for my food and left without my churros, but I really didn't appreciate the bait and switch. That's not the first time I had a similar incident there involving them finding a different reason to deny the coupon. I have a feeling they're strictly to get you in there, and then they find a way to say, "Sorry, it doesn't apply". I know small businesses are hurting with the pandemic, but they should still honor their coupons, especially when nothing on them says "must be before tax".

Awesome! We stopped in here for lunch one day on a whim, and I am so glad that we did! You go in and place your order at the counter and then go find a seat, and your food will be brought to your table. The staff here is super friendly, and if you have questions about menu items, they will gladly help you out. The food here is absolutely delicious. I don't mean that they have some good dishes, I mean that everything I ate or drank here, including the soda, was delicious! There was nothing on my plate or my wife's plate that we didn't both love. I started out with the shrimp soup. I was skeptical at first, but it turns out that it was great. I believe that it's tomato based, with a very generous amount of shrimp, and vegetables. They'll give you a little dish of green hot sauce "just in case". Well, I like spicy, so I put a spoonful into the soup and it took it right off the scale. That spoonful of hot sauce took a very good soup and made it amazing. For my main meal I ordered the roast pork platter. With that you get a pretty good pile of tender, slow roasted pork, Spanish rice, and some sort of mashed, fried plantain (can't remember what that was called). I also had a can of Inca Cola. My wife had the chicken platter (their specialty) which also came with Spanish rice and a different, sweeter plantain/banana-type side. It was good, but I prefer the mashed and fried version that I had, but it was still good. For dessert we split a piece of the tres leche cake. Delicious! This place was so good that we actually thought about driving the 20 miles back there for dinner the same night. We didn't make it that time, but we will most definitely be back again and again.

My go to spot when I want some good Peruvian food. The service here is amazing and the food is always the same great quality every time I order. Definitely would recommend everyone check them out!

Served me meat I could not possibly chew or digest....impossible...like an old sole of a shoe.... They refused to give me something else....and wanted to charge me for another meal...restaurants do not operate in this fashion....cross this place off of your list....used to be good...the lady told me they were buying cheaper ingredients....unreal

Awesome delicious food. Curry something was yum. Green chicken was da bomb!!!!!! We go here like once a month. It's sooooooooiiiiiiiiiiii good.

Amazing service and amazing food. The smoothies are great and huge too. Definitely coming back!

My family and I love Mango's!! It's an authentic "Mom n Pop" type joint. The staff is very friendly. There are so many options on the menu and all of the food is delicious and flavorful, especially their specials!!! It's a great place for a nice, fresh and tasty dinner.

This spot is delicious! The food is authentic peruvian food and the lomo saltado was juicy and delicious. The portions are generous. There is a variety of options. The staff are quick and they are friendly.
