Spicy Mango

When you walk in the vibe and atmosphere in this restaurant screams your on vacation in your own city. Spicy mango was a real delight. The wings are great with the perfect amount of heat. I oxtails were well season and delicious. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. Bre our server was very attentive and thoughtful with her recommendations. She made making decisions on food quick and easy and did everything with such grace and professionalism. However this is a quite pricey dinner but we'll worth it! I would go back again and again.

So happy we decided to dine at Spicy Mango for our anniversary dinner. We made the reservation via OpenTable and received several reminders which was helpful. We were warmly welcomed and sat within minutes of our arrival. We choose to sit indoors as the weather was much cooler. Corey G. was our server and he set the bar high for future wait staff! If you're reading this and had the pleasure of being served by Corey G., then you get it. He's very patient, personable, and knowledgeable about the menu and drink offerings. He's tried most of the menu and gave his opinion on his faves and suggestions. We took his advice and we were not disappointed. We ordered coconut shrimp, redfish, jasmine rice, lamb chops, and fries. All dishes were seasoned perfectly, impeccably plated and served hot! We also enjoyed a variety of cognacs and French 75, needless to say I wasn't the DD this time. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or brunch.

One of the best birthdays I’ve ever had!!!! The atmosphere, the ambiance, vibes, food, people, and just the overall experience! Head Excutive Chef Jordan, GM Joshua, and our server Alex F. thank y’all for chatting with us and going above and beyond with making this such a great experience! Food was soooo fire!!! From apps, drinks, main course, desserts!!! Will most deff be back!

Spicy Mango Spicy mango boy was I expecting much better food than I had. There was hype around this place so decided to try it out of the other 8 places I visited while there. To begin with the vibe, atmosphere, and ambiance was amazing and love it all and really was my favorite about this place. Our waitress was great, very helpful and knowledgeable abut the menu. Drinks were top notch for me which is why I’m giving it that extra star for 4. Try that spicy mango margarita (extra spicy)😉 Let’s get to the dishes….. Started with the habanero wings which were great and falling off the bone. I ordered the oxtails and red beans which were flavorful but my oxtails were definitely more burnt and on the crispy side rather than tender, and this is coming from someone that can cook oxtails and also a Jamaican. Tried the side of dirty rice and I enjoyed that as well. Also for $34 dollars 2 pieces of oxtail is wild!!!! Also ordered the oxtail man and cheese and I would have been better off just ordering plain Mac n cheese because again the pieces of oxtails in the Mac n cheese were burnt. Like giving it a burnt rip rip feel. Don’t know if I just went on a bad night but I’m definitely not running back or keeping here as a must try place. Now I would visit one more time to probably give it another chance and try another dish before writing them off because it wasn’t all bad.

This place is phenomenal! From the time you enter Sean greats you and makes you feel so welcomed. The ambiance is amazing. The huge tree inside, the low lights and the beats playing over the speakers. We absolutely loved it. It feels upscale but not uptight. This was our second time eating here, and same as the last, it was amazing. From the drinks to the food everything is top notch. We had Coray and gentleman in training (I am so sorry I missed your name) as servers and they were both excellent 👌🏻 We started with drinks, I had a Moscow mule and he had the Caribbean Cough Syrup, both are so tasty. We shared the shrimp ceviche for an appetizer, both ordered the half jerk chicken and shared the braised cabbage and plantains. There is literally no words for how delicious the food was. This place just serves on hospitality, great service and phenomenal food.

We had a pretty good overall experience at Spicy Mango in New Orleans. There was no wait to get seated, and the staff was friendly, quick, and professional. The cocktails were a bit on the pricey side for the portion and strength, but still enjoyable. As for the food, the crawfish beignets had a nice spicy kick and were pretty tasty. We had the skirt steak cooked medium; it could have used a bit more flavor, and it's chewy but it was decent overall. My cousin really enjoyed the oxtails—they were tender and tasty—and the dirty rice was good with small pieces of oxtail. The oxtail mac and cheese was probably my favorite item on the list. One important heads-up: be careful with the parking lot right next to the restaurant. We ran into an issue where there were no clear signs about how to pay for parking upfront, and we ended up getting booted. So definitely watch out for that parking situation so it doesn’t put a damper on your evening. Overall, though, we enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere!

Now THIS is the vibe I’ve been searching for in New Orleans…. From the time I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with so much hospitality. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. I was seated at the bar, and the music and vibe was wonderful. I ordered the bread and corn for appetizers, the steak and you must try the French 75! The food is so flavorful and came out fresh and hot. This is great for a solo date or girls night out. I was visiting from Atlanta and absolutely loved this spot. I’ll be back!

Enjoyed an amazing experience while celebrating my daughter, who attends college in NOLA! The flavors were bold, authentic, and full of true Creole Caribbean soul. Every dish was seasoned to perfection, and the drinks along with the rum cake were on point. The atmosphere was welcoming, the music set the vibe, and our waiter, Caroline, provided top-tier service. This place is definitely a must-visit. I’ll be back for sure! Special thanks and a big shout-out to Caroline for her kindness, attentiveness, and positive energy—she truly made our dining experience unforgettable!!!

My husband and I spent out anniversary in New Orleans and our dinner reservation at Spicy Mango did not disappoint. The staff was very welcoming upon our arrival and the decor of the restaurant was beautiful. Felt like you were transported to a beautiful Caribbean island. Our server Bri was amazing, she took her time explaining everything and making wonderful recommendations. The food was so good. We ordered the Coconut gulf shrimp, Mango Habanero wings, Joshi Bread, Ox Tail dirty rice, the cole slaw, plantains, elotes and the jerk chicken. And we ordered the rum cake...EVERTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! and the service was truly impeccable. Yummm, we will be back and highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is so great ... make sure your belly is prepared to be fed WELL! This was my first time ... so I asked for recommendations. The waitress at the bar, where I sat, was extremely helpful. We started with the mango habanero wings. EXCELLENT - best combo of a little sweet with a hint of heat! We did shareable options - braised oxtails ( which comes with steamed Jasmine rice) , braised cabbage , plantains and rice & peas. EVERY ITEM WAS SIMPLY DELICIOUS!!! The braised oxtails - tender and that dark brown roux makes you want to drown in it - so damn tasty and seasoned well. The braised cabbage has a spicy kick to it - but still very tasty. You will NOT need any salt or pepper. Forgive my photos - at night the ambiance gives you a deeper Caribbean evening vibe. Nice for a second date or romantic evening with your special someone. Also great for a girls night out. Wish I could rate it 10/10. I will be back - and use my flash! Lol...

Wow, in a city of amazing food this spot stands out! Well executed Caribbean food and excellent cocktails make it a fun and satisfying spot. The Caribbean cough syrup is one of the most delicious cocktails I've ever tried. We sampled the elote, chicken wings, chicken curry, jerked chicken, braised cabbage, rice and peas, and the slaw. Flavors are intense and satisfying. The jerked chicken was a bit spicy and I loved it. Everything was packed with flavor. We had a gluten allergy and they did a good job of helping us navigate our options. Note the jerked chicken has soy sauce in it and one or two other dishes, so make sure and ask. Our server RO was fun, warm and so efficient at fielding our requests. They include a service charge automatically, I believe it was 20%.

Okay, sit tight because what I'm about to say is not an exaggeration, this place is INCREDIBLE. The Cajun-Jamaican fusion at Spicy Mango is absolutely mind-blowing. In full transparency, I did not capture nearly enough photos because I was starving and after the first bite I entered food heaven and forgot the outside world existed. We ordered: * Shrimp ceviche (bright, fresh, addictive) * Mango habanero wings (perfect heat with that sweet kick, SO good) * Red bean oxtail with rice and peas (my personal favorite ...succulent, falling-off-the-bone tender, and that red bean sauce? Unreal.) * Braised oxtails (also phenomenal) * Jerk chicken (deep flavor, beautifully spiced) * Rice and peas (cooked to absolute perfection) * Jerk chicken sandwich (yummy) * Spicy mango margaritas (dangerously good) Everything was layered, bold, and deeply comforting in a way I didn't even realize I needed. This wasn't just good food, it was the kind of meal that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. It's been a long time since I've had flavors this rich, this intentional, and this satisfying. The ambiance is magical: warm, vibrant, and full of joy. The service? Top tier. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there. I even met the chef (who happens to share my name!), which made the experience even sweeter. This is a must-have in NOLA.

Stopped by Spicy Mango recently. The ambiance was nice and the overall vibe was solid. Our waitress was great -- attentive, friendly, and did her job well. Unfortunately, the food just didn't hit for me. A lot of the dishes had a heavy charbroil taste that overpowered the flavors. It wasn't balanced, and it took away from what should've been enjoyable dishes. Service and atmosphere were good. The food just wasn't for me.

I absolutely love Sun Chong, so I wanted to try another one of Larry Morrow's restaurants. I've heard great things about Spicy Mango, so Valentine's Day felt like the perfect time to check it out. When we pulled up, it was freezing outside. My date dropped me off at the door, and I noticed two people waiting outside with security. I stood behind them, assuming they were waiting because the restaurant was full. A couple minutes later, security let the couple in ahead of me and asked if I had a reservation. I told him yes. He went inside to confirm, came back out, and then let me in. What stood out is that once I got inside, there was no one standing at the hostess area. On such a cold night, allowing someone with a reservation to step inside while they wait does not seem unreasonable. Maybe this is just their standard process, but standing outside in heels and a dress in that weather was not ideal. Now let's talk ambiance. The vibe is beautiful. It definitely gives Caribbean energy and feels like you're somewhere far from New Orleans. There's a huge string sign in the dining room that says "The Tone," which I really liked. The aesthetic is strong. However, it is extremely dark. I could not see the menu without using my phone flashlight. The music was also very loud, to the point where I could barely have a conversation with my date. Romantic in theory, but if you can't hear each other, it becomes more nightclub than dinner. The restroom situation was interesting. The waitress had to show me where it was because it's far. You actually have to walk outside across uneven brick pavement to get there. In heels. In freezing weather. I was just relieved that the bathroom itself was clean, but that walk is not pleasant. As for the food, this is where things went downhill for me. We ordered an appetizer that was described as charred elote. What we received tasted less "charred" and more completely burnt. Now, if that's intentional and part of the style, then maybe it just isn't my preference. But it tasted overwhelmingly burnt rather than flavorful. For our entrée, we ordered a steak dish that arrived literally on fire at the table. Visually, it was dramatic and exciting. Unfortunately, once the flame went out and we tasted it, it also had that same heavy burnt flavor. It was hard to enjoy. We ended up eating the cabbage and rice sides together as our main meal because those were actually good. I'll be honest. If that deep char is authentic Caribbean style, then maybe Caribbean cuisine just isn't for me. But for my personal taste, both the appetizer and steak were too burnt to enjoy. Overall, the aesthetic is strong, the vibe is unique, and the restaurant definitely has presence. But between the security process, the extreme darkness, the loud music, the long bathroom walk, and the burnt flavors, I left disappointed. I wanted to love it. I really did. Maybe it was an off night. Maybe it's just not my palate. But Valentine's Day dinner should feel warm in more ways than one.

Beautiful space. Great staff from the front door and everyone one I interacted with was so so helpful and on point. Bathrooms were accessible and clean. Chairs are questionably accessible but they have booths. Outside seating is gorgeous. Ambient light. The prices are $$$ and I personally didn't see the value in the food itself but the experience was great. Drink menu drinks are 18-25 at 1/2 off happy hour. The passion fruit cocktail I had was delicious. Our server KG was impressive and set the expectation high from now on if I were to return.

Beautiful ambiance. We sat outside & they had the fire lanterns on. Our server was friendly & accommodating. Everything we ordered was delicious. Some of the best ceviche I've had. Yucca fries were nicely cooked. Cabbage had a spicy kick, plenty of flavor. My friend said "mmm" at first bite of the burger. Definitely recommended. Wasn't a fan of the restrooms.

Now serving brunch! I ordered the jerk chicken and waffles. Chicken was very spicy but not over powering and the waffles had plantains in them. The shrimp ceviche was the star of the show. A must! Beautiful restaurant. The server was new but she was able to answer all of our questions. We went on national margarita day, $5 margaritas. I'd love to go back and try other menu items.

Found this place as we wandered around NOLO and it was great! Perfect for my vegan friend as well. We got the Joshi bread and the butter was delicious. My main course was the ox tail Mac n cheese and that was excellent as well. It was a little heavy and I couldn't finish it. My friend ordered the Cuban po boy which she said was delicious as well. We had a great server. The manager wasn't very engaging and almost ran me over without an apology. They also had the AC blasting so high it was very uncomfortable and we couldn't wait to leave. We saw they had a cute outdoor eating area we wish we saw and sat outside inside.

Spicy Mango was very good! Amazing food and service. I love the music they were playing it was a r&b Caribbean mix. Interesting and different. Our service was so excited to be there and gave the best recommendations. Definitely get the spicy mango margarita, the bread with an AMAZING guava butter, and the oxtail. You will not be disappointed

I had oxtail for the first time here! and let me tell you, it was delicious. we also had the chicken mac n cheese and ceviche ! The service was great and the ambiance was super classy! will return if i ever come back to NOLA

The food- absolutely amazing! Nothing was a no. It was all good! Delicious and flavorful with authentic taste to New Orleans. Ambience was a vibe! Beautiful decorative walls and lighting. We went at night. Service- this needs improvement. Our waitress forgot our drinks. This is a no. Then the check still had the drink on the tab. I tell the waitress that we didn't receive our drinks and instead of taking accountability and responsibility for everything coming out to the table, She blames it on the bar. She goes to the bar and Realizes the drinks have been there, waiting for her to bring it to the table. She then ask me if we still want the drinks and I repeat to her that we no longer want the drinks as our meal has finished. Then she takes the check back to remove the drinks and comes back and the check still has one of the drinks on it. Make it makes sense. She was not paying attention to what I was telling her. Additionally, the restaurant has an automatic 20% gratuity, added to the check regardless of how the service Experience was. Based on service, I would not return to the restaurant. It's a large part of dining out.

My fiancé and I went to Spicy Mango for the first time during the peak of Mardi Gras season and it did not disappoint! Despite it being extremely busy we were seated and served quickly. Our server Khoudia was amazing. When it came to our drink and food we just told her to order us what she thought was best, everything was a 10/10. We have the Shrimp Civichi and the Mango Habanero Wings, both were fresh and full of flavor. My Spicy Margarita came in a cute skull glass that included a fire show! We will definitely be back the next time we are in the city.

10/10. Everything at Spicy Mango was amazing. I had the shrimp ceviche, grilled elote and the crawfish beignets, when I say delicious I mean delicious. My west indies French 75 was made PERFECT!!!!! Our waitress Tia was also great. My husband had the Jerk Chicken and said that was the best he ever had. We will put Spicy Mango on our go to list every single time we are in Nola.. The space was such a vibe, I loved the outside area and I adored the cute Mango tree in the dining area...

Beautiful restaurant! We came for lunch on a Sunday since they were open during the day for Bayou Classic weekend. It was four of us, and everyone enjoyed their meal. I started off at the bar while waiting for my party and had two drinks, the Bujaw and the Montserrat. I thoroughly enjoyed both; they were strong, well-made, and flavorful. The only drawback was how hot it was when I walked in. It felt like a heater may have been on, and since it was warm outside too, the temperature was uncomfortable at first. Once my entire party arrived, we were seated promptly, ordered more drinks, and then our entrées. We had the red beans with oxtails, the oxtail plate, and the lamb plate. We also ordered the jerk mac & cheese, cabbage, and bread. Everything came out quickly, was beautifully presented, and tasted delicious. I enjoyed my oxtails, though they could've been cooked a little longer to be more tender. The jerk mac & cheese had great flavor from the jerk sauce, but it could've been a bit cheesier and creamier. Overall, it was a good experience. Our server, Alex, was excellent, very patient, knowledgeable, and great at explaining the menu since it was our first time. I'll definitely be back and am already planning to bring other friends. It's perfect for girls' night or date night. We came for lunch, but I can tell this place really shines and sets the tone for dinner.

First interaction. Upon arrival we waited outside for a few minutes. Yes , we did have a reservation. The hostess asked us if we wanted inside or outside. It was chilly so we said inside, the hostess then said it would be a bit of a wait but didn't know how long, we said that's fine we will wait, literally 2 min later we were seated at our table. Strange. Just a heads up, you can barely hear because the music is wayyyy too loud(I'm in my 30s), they need to brighten up the lights just a tad and lower the music just a little bit . It would be a GAME CHANGER. Our waitress NEVER asked if we wanted more drinks, after we finished our first round. We so would've gotten more than 1 drink each but whatever. Also they don't show their wines on the menu which I thought was weird. I wanted dessert but she went missing For about 30 min after dinner and by that time it was 10 pm. I'm super sad. I've been to a few of the sister restaurants and they were great. I'm not sure what the issue is here. Everything was a very slow process (except the sides). We were there from 7:40-10pm on a Friday night . It was busy when we first got there but by 9 it calmed down. They ran out of the jerk chicken, that's fine we had no problem waiting for more. Honestly don't get the jerk chicken. It almost tasted like grilled chicken with LOTS of thyme. It's not the jerk chicken you'd expect. The yuca fries had no sauce to go with. On the menu the plantains say you can add cream, the waitress then said they're no longer doing that AFTER the food came out . (Communication) I did like the plantains, corn, the crawfish fritters and the bread. This restaurant really needs to work on their service, attentiveness. It also seems like communication with the kitchen is not there. Why were the sides coming out before the main dishes. WILD. Everyone was super nice though, I really think it may be a communication problem or maybe the waitress couldn't hear us because of the loud music. The restaurant is really cute though. I would come back to sit at the bar outside on a pretty day and get an appetizer/dessert.

The hype is real lol. I like all of the Morrow Hospitality restaurants but this is close to the top. I wasn't aware that there was a happy hour but it includes wines and most cocktails. The spicy margarita was very good and even has some theatrics lol. We tried the crawfish beignets, flaming branzino, red beans oxtail, curry chicken, jerk Mac and cheese and rice and peas. Everything was excellent. I did make reservations so I'm not sure how the wait is for walk-ins. Perfect place for a birthday dinner. Be aware that a service charge is automatically included.

Each dish is packed with flavor in unique ways that bring the whole meal together. My favorite was definitely the jerk mac n cheese! When you walk in you're warmly greeted and then enter into a chic space. It's great for pictures with all the photo op friendly decor too!

We absolutely loved spicy Mango, we walked in without reservations, inside restaurant there not much people dining in, but weather was very good on that evening, so we opted to eat at the patio, as soon we walked in, the vibes, atmosphere, music, felt like we got transported to tropical paradise. Our host was friendly, helpful and welcoming. We decided to do two appetizers, I picked grilled elote(whenever I see elote on a menu, my eyes doesn't go anywhere else, I love love elote), my friend picked Joshi bread, we both ordered spicy mango margarita and jerk chicken. Spicy margarita: it was perfect, even the presentation. Elote: out of this world, but felt the portion was small for the price. Joshi bread: disappointment, it was thick dense bread with weird unpleasant taste, I gave up after two bites, my friend tried her best and ate half of one bread(they give you 3), we told our host, and she said it usually goes well with curry, like you dip in a curry. Jerk chicken: perfectly seasoned and grilled chicken, though my friend felt it would've been nice if it came with some veggies or greens, but I dint mind. Overall must try p

I have been to spicy mango twice now and here's my review. It is very cute in there, the big tree and the dim lighting but the music is sooo loud. I hate hate hate restaurants with loud music. The music coupled with the sounds of patrons talking, we could barely hear each other or the waiter. The waiter was very nice and kind and he gave us recommendations and explained things to us. Now the food: all the appetizers were great, the sweet bread, the delicious charred elote, and the crab balls. All so good, in fact we got a second elote and I got it again the second time I went. For the meal I got the oxtails which were very good to me, my one complaint is they could've been more tender but the flavor was there. My sister had the red bean oxtail which also was good but it looked like she didn't have as much oxtail as me so something to consider. We had the cabbage and sweet plantains on the side and I'm not lying when I say that is the best cabbage I've ever had. I could've got that and some rice as a meal by itself. Now I am a cabbage lover but that is truly some good cabbage and it doesn't taste how myself or family cook it at home, it's just better. The plantains were also done well, came with a crema sauce which the waiter did clarify if I wanted and I tried it and it was good. Everything was great I was stuffed. Now the second time I went I had the curry chicken and this for me was not as good as the oxtail. Again it just wasn't very tender like I felt the chicken could've been stewed more, idk. It wasn't the best curry chicken I've had. It didn't leave me wanting more like the oxtail did. But I will be spicy mango, if not for a whole meal then for apps and drinks. I say it's worth a try.

I had an amazing experience here! I was able to walk in on a Friday night without a reservation and was seated pretty quickly. The decor and ambience are amazing-- as expected from the owner. The vibes were all right. Drinks: I ordered a standard lemon drop and it was fine Food: you MUST start with the ceviche!!!! It was the best I've had in my life! You'll want to lick the bowl; it's THAT GOOD! All components blended perfectly, and the recipe is well executed. I also ordered the branzino with a side of peas/rice. The entree was tasty as well; I have no complaints. My friend had the lamb chops with spicy cabbage and enjoyed that also. Spicy Mango is off to a great start and will have a repeat customer in me.

What an absolute vibe of a restaurant. The service was astounding and attentive, the music was a hit and the decor was her great. We started with the shrimp ceviche and Mac and cheese and both did not disappoint. The shrimp ceviche was juicy and tender and the Mac and cheese was perfectly crafted. The stars were the branzino and oxtail. The branzino had such depth and flavor and the oxtail was so flavorful. The downfall of this dinner was the drinks. We had the caparihina , old fashioned, spicy margaritas and cough drop. They were good but not worth the $18-20 per drink as they were either too sweet or not enough flavors Overall, this is the vibe to get Caribbean inspired cuisine.

Wow!! What a pleasant surprise! My experience at Spicy Mango was truly a treat. The space is beautiful and immediately whisks you away to an island inspired paradise. Aside from the fact that my friends were pretty late arriving which caused us be seated well after our reservation time, the wait staff was more than patient and accommodating. Once our whole party of 4 arrived, we were seated indoors which I was grateful for due to the outdoor heat. Our waiter Cory was super friendly and patient and helped us navigate the menu. We ordered the coconut shrimp, the wings and the crawfish beignets all delicious and the perfect appetizers. My friends ordered the special spicy margarita that had a little flame at the top. And I had a mango lemonade which was a tasty and refreshing zero proof option. For entrees we ordered the oxtail, flaming branzino with sides of plantain, cabbage and rice. The meal was a 9/10. Everything was flavorful-and the portions were perfect for sharing. We even had leftovers. Sadly, we didn't have time for dessert but I would've ordered the mango pie because I've never had a mango pie before. I honestly can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

This afternoon we had a wonderful experience for our girl's night out event. From the host to our amazing server Qui (kwee), those who assisted her and every manager on duty, the service was impeccable. Qui handled our large party with detail and honesty. She made great recommendations on beverage adjustments, since I'm not a drinker. The ladies in my group loved their drinks. The appetizers I recommend are the crawfish fritters and ceviche although there were other great appetizers we tried as well . My snapper and braised cabbage were the stars for me. Dining outside was perfect. We tried all of the desserts and they too were good. My favorite is the mango dessert. The only con if any, is that the music is too loud. However, the manager did adjust upon our request. I will return to this establishment.without hesitation. There is paid and street parking available. Always make reservations. There are no split tickets .

So happy we decided to dine at Spicy Mango for our anniversary dinner. We made the reservation via OpenTable and received several reminders which was helpful. We were warmly welcomed and sat within minutes of our arrival. We choose to sit indoors as the weather was much cooler. Corey G. was our server and he set the bar high for future wait staff! If you're reading this and had the pleasure of being served by Corey G., then you get it. He's very patient, personable, and knowledgeable about the menu and drink offerings. He's tried most of the menu and gave his opinion on his faves and suggestions. We took his advice and we were not disappointed. We ordered coconut shrimp, redfish, jasmine rice, lamb chops, and fries. All dishes were seasoned perfectly, impeccably plated and served hot! We also enjoyed a variety of cognacs and French 75, needless to say I wasn't the DD this time. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or brunch.

My new Favorite Restaurant! From the moment I walked in I was in love, felt like I was in a resort instead of Frenchmen Street. Me and my friend went on Monday night and we were immediately greeted with smile. We had reservations but arrived a few minutes early, they asked us if we would prefer to sit inside or outside. We decided to sit inside, the outside area was gorgeous, but it was just too hot around the time we went. I can't wait to sit in the outside area when temperature starts to drop though. Our waiter Qui was VERY knowledge on the menu and helped us with all our selections. For drinks we had the West Indies French 75 and the Zacapa Old Fashion. These were a great twist on traditional drinks. To eat we had the Shrimp Ceviche, Jerk Mac and Cheese, and the Branzino. They all were so flavorful and delicious, but the star of the show was the Jerk Mac and Cheese. I could go back just for this dish. For dessert we shared the rum cake, so good! I can not wait to go back. The service, ambiance, and food was a 10/10. Located on Frenchmen St so be prepare to pay to park.

It's a 4.5 for me!!! Wonderful service, delicious food and beautiful ambiance. The only raise the bar was that the food wasn't warm enough for my preference but the oxtails were delicious! The jerk mac & cheese was also yummy. Highly recommend reservations. We did not have reservations and waited only 30 minutes to sit at the bar. Will return next time I'm in New Orleans.

Was in town for homecoming and decided to give the Morrow family of restaurants a try. The first stop was Spicy Mango. The restaurant interior is decorated beautifully and there was a DJ present playing music on the patio. We arrived for our reservation and were immediately seated. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. Now to the best part the food!!!! Everything we ordered was delicious!! Food came out hot and flavorful. 100/10 I highly recommend!

Loved the jerk chicken and really liked the refreshing emerald the salad. Curiously, some of the sides were large (no dinner salad size) and cheap (the emerald salad for instance for $18), some sides were really overpriced (like the $18/34 Mac and cheese). It was also difficult to get a refill of water, wh is particularly challenging with this spicy menu. Tips are automatically included for all tables (not just larger groups).

Great Vibe poor service and highly overpriced for the amount and quality of the food you get. Also the drinks are overpriced for bottom of the line liquor.

Had a reservation still waited for a while.Ran out of steak that was ordered, No one told us. Manager did not do service recovery. Waitress had trouble explaining the dishes (our first time).cocktails, wings, jerk lamb chops dirty rice all Good. Inside Cutely decorated.

I was pleasantly surprised how well the dinner went. I heard about complaints on the service but I didn't have any issues. My waitress was amazing. She was on point! Our drinks were AMAZING! Flavorful but not over powering. Everything was fresh. Even the chips for the ceviche. The joshi bread with that guava butter was to die for omg. The plantain was fresh. Everything was a 10/10. Will be going back

Came here for a family night. My wife had already made reservations. We arrived at around 4:30pm. Paid parking is also at the back which is convenient. They had a small line, but when the server came out and took names we were seated promptly. Now let's get into the appetizers which all were delicious. We had the grilled corn and coconut shrimp. My daughter had the jerk burger and hot crispy fries. My wife had the while red snapper which she enjoyed. As for me the flaming branzino was sooo good and came out on fire . We really enjoy all of the entrees. We will return for some more items on the menu. The staff was very nice as well. Vibes were on point. Good job Larry Morrow

Overall I would give it a 7/10 but there are some things this restaurant can work on. The music is extremely loud. They need more lighting on the table; we were literally eating in the dark. Otherwise the ambiance and aesthetic was great. The food was okay; y'all overhyped it tbh. The red beans with the oxtail were scorched and I had to sent them back. The red beans were also NOT seasoned. The braised oxtails were seasoned well but they could have been more tender and more gravy added. When we asked for more gravy; we were told $10... gravy isn't that expensive. The jerk chicken was a bit on the drier side. The crawfish beignets were tasty. The mango wings were a bit too charred and we expected them to be more spicy. The cabbage and plantains were amazing. The jerk Mac and cheese was a bit on the sweeter rather than spicy side. The cocktails were great! The spicy mango drink came with a lovely show also! The bus boy was rude and clearly didn't want to be a work. One of the manager lied about his name which was also a bit strange if you also me. The host were great and attentive. But the star of the show was the waiter Jamal. He was amazing and personable! He was carrying the customer service of the restaurant tbh! He needs a promotion soon!

We arrived at Spicy Mango on a Saturday night. It was packed! We had reservations and when we arrived we were told although we had reservations we couldn't sit inside without a wait. We agreed to sit outside it was a nice area. It truly felt like we were on a resort somewhere. The look and feel of the decor was refreshing. The downsides of our night were that the bathroom was extremely cramped but clean and the service left much to be desired. We felt we got a vastly different server than our neighbors. We felt rushed in our decision making when it came to the menu and that the server was not warm/friendly. We ordered drinks and some apps with an entree since not all of our party was really hungry. The food was incredibly flavorful with a definite kick when it came to dishes like the crawfish beignets and oxtails. Our drinks were really good as well but i would've preferred the server to ask us what type of liquor we wanted in off menu drinks. For example we ordered lemon drops ($17 belvadere + $3 lemon drop + $2 flavor) so our drinks were individually priced as much as an entree item. Again, a service issue but overall the food and ambiance were amazing. Curious if i would try again based off service.

We dined here not too long ago. We came here mainly for our fav chef who used to work at Martins wine and now workers here - Chef Jordan Lindsey. His food was phenomenal at Martins wine in Metry, we did many of his wine dinners there, and so we heard he is now the chef here. We walk in and the first thing I notice is the incredible ambience. How tropical and beautiful! There is a tree in the restaurant! It definitely feels like you've been whisked away to a Caribbean island. I also loved the outside; it is like you are stepping into a beach or poolside resort. Such a fabulous job with all the decor and space design. We ordered drinks, I was a little disappointed though with the lack of rum-based drinks since it is a Caribbean influenced restaurant. I ordered a strawberry cocktail which was tasty. My friend ordered an old fashioned, but her second old fashioned was pure alcohol. I am not sure if it was not mixed or if there was a missing ingredient. But she never returns food or drinks and she had to return it. We did all try it and it was undrinkable. I am not sure if they comped it though, I hope they did. Then for apps, we got the elote. I loved this! I actually liked it better than my entree. The flavors were married perfectly, I wish I had ordered two. For the entree, I ordered the jerk chicken, I figured can't go wrong with the theme. I did enjoy the flavors and oh my! it had a spice; I was getting hot! But it was difficult to eat since it was on the bone (which I know that is how it is served, but still difficult to eat in a semi fancy place) and the service was a little slow so getting napkins for slightly messy finger food was not happening (I think there was one or two servers and one bartender - I know and understand how short staffed everyone is nowadays, sadly). And yes, I tried to be polite eating it with a fork and knife, but it just wasn't happened. And part of that problem was the lights are really, really low in the dining area for dinner. Too low. You can't really see the food you're eating (pics were taken with flash). It just would have been easier had the chicken been served off the bone or if the lights were maybe 10% brighter or if I had ordered something I could easily eat with a fork/knife. Anyway, I did enjoy myself, I will be back for earlier dinning so I can see and def for those elotes.

The Spicy Mango came in clutch as I needed a last minute dining option. I forgot my phone in the car so I wasn't able to take pics. I was immediately impressed by the interior of the club. I didn't notice the tree inside lol. Although it was cold outside, our area was made comfortable with heaters. I had the Jerk Burger just to play it safe. Meh, It was just a burger, lol. I'll try something more daring next time. Also gratuity was automatically added to the bill.

Literally the best food we had on our girl's trip to NOLA!!! This is a fairly new restaurant near Frenchmen St and we stumbled into it. You guys...the food was unreal. It was soooo good!!! The vibes were immaculate too because they had amazing music, a fountain, nice gentle neon signs. We were all dead tired when we got here, and Spicy Mango Literally brought us back from the brink of exhaustion because everything about it was so amazing!! I highly, highly recommend everything (but especially the chicken curry)!

This food is soooo good! Everything is very flavorful. The ambiance is amazing, very cute, great vibes and aesthetic for pictures. It really does feel like you leave New Orleans for a while. The service is wonderful! Do keep in mind that the appetizers come in small portions and that tip is included.

I'm not a fan of many restaurants in that area, but this one is an exception. My friends and I went on a whim on a Sunday night. We were able to be seated right away outside. The fans outside made it pleasant to sit because Louisiana heat is brutal even at night, so the fans were perfect. The vibe is the islands, with the decor and music. Chef Tobias was a visiting chef that had his own menu that night. The couple of apps were ordered were just okay. Nothing that was good. The reason for the five stars is the entrees and sides. We a few things to try. The stewed Ox tails which came with white rice, Lamb chops, jerk Mac n cheese, cabbage, and Branzino (Chef Tobias jerk not the regular flaming one). Stewed oxtails were so tender the meat was falling off the bone. Taking the gravy, meat, and putting it over the rice was perfection. They had just the right amount of spice. Lamb chops were good as well. The cabbage was cooked down, and it was spicy as well. I enjoy spicy food so this was right up my alley. The jerk Mac n cheese was creamy and was garnished with jerk chicken. The branzino was grilled to perfection. We did not order dessert as we were full from our meal. This is a must stop if you're in the area. I know I will be going back!

Spicy Mango has been on my radar since it opened a couple of months ago. I parked in the paid lot next door. I made reservations so that we would not have to wait for a table. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I would not mind sitting outside once we actually get cooler weather. Ro was our waiter; he knew that it was our first time there so he told us everything about their menu. Their staff works well together; Denara, another waitress, was really sweet and also checked on us throughout our meal. For drinks, my little sister ordered a spicy margarita and I had a mango lemonade. For food, we ordered: crawfish beignets, coconut shrimp, braised oxtails, jerk mac, steamed rice( too mushy) and flaming branzino. Everything was scrumptious, savory, and tasty. No dish lacked flavor. I ABSOLUTELY recommend it!

We accidentally came across this restaurant and we were so pleasantly surprised by how good the food and service was. My husband had the Mac and cheese I had the jerk chicken sandwich both were full of flavor, just delicious! Also the service was impressive, quick to refill drinks and make recommendations.

I made a reservation for after the Jeezy orchestra show. As soon as we parked I got an alert that our table was ready early so we went right inside and weee seated in the front room right away. We started with the spicy mango margarita that comes out on fire then we did the shrimp ceviche 5/5! For our meals I went with the Flaming Branzino, my friends had the stewed curry chicken & escovitch red snapper and oxtail Mac and cheese. It was pretty chill vibes that evening. I will definitely be back to try more menu items

Came here last night for Valentine's Day! My entire party was blown away with the quality of food! Our waitress was also very welcoming! Furthermore, shoutout to the security guard! When we were walking out he asked me to wait while he got me something, he came out and gave me a long stem rose! I thought that was super sweet! Thanks Spicy Mango for a memorable night!

The food was amazing here. The elote and oxtail were the highlights! Drinks were not only beautiful but perfectly strong and delicious. The service was great and the ambiance was warm and thoughtfully designed. Melanie did a stellar job taking care of us.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Food, vibes, atmosphere, drinks, and best of all- the customer service was top tier. Neek, Jamal, and Josh were beyond amazing, with great conversation, prompt service, and frequent check ins. We came in for a bday dinner with reservations and were not disappointed in any way. We'll definitely be back! Everything we had on the menu was great, but the attention to detail and intentional efforts with customer service probably made our entire experience all the best. Thank you!

Decided to have a girls night and everyone unanimously picked this place. Yes I've been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint. The place is real cute not as big as I expected but a decent size . The inside restaurant area has a large tree in the middle which gives a nice tropical feel. The outside dining area was real cute loved the lit up bar area and tropical decor. Next time I'll choose to sit outside. We had reservations and a young man came up and immediately escorted us to our table. Then we were pleasantly greeted by our waitress. I ordered the oxtails which were very tender and flavorful with the right amount of spice. It came with white rice. There was two nice size oxtails. The Gravy was delicious. My friends had the lamb chops with the cabbage. Both were delicious. I think they were not expecting the cabbage to be so spicy but I thought it was great. The lamb chops were nice and tender. I think they were given three but for the price I think it should've been four. $48. The drinks were delicious. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the food and drinks. I had my favorite, a lemon drop and my friends had the bujwah and the Caribbean cough syrup . Which ironically she did have a cough at the time and did not cough for the rest of the night. All in all the place has a nice vibe, good food. Will definitely be returning.

I came here during their soft opening week and was pleasantly surprised! This space is way bigger than I thought and it is really gorgeous. Our server was Nia, she was super sweet and very attentive! I did order their signature drink which was a spicy mango habanero margarita that comes in a flaming skull glass, but I hated it lol. We ordered a lot of different food and everything was so flavorful. I really really enjoyed this restaurant! They are fully opening for essence weekend and I have another reservation so I'm delighted to go back and try their full menu!
