Spicy Mango

Spicy Mango is hands down one of the BEST new spots in New Orleans! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, inviting, and full of energy. The food? Absolutely mind-blowing. Every dish bursts with authentic Caribbean flavors, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. You can taste the love and passion in every bite. And the cocktails just wow. Truly out of this world! Creative, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Easily some of the best drinks I’ve had in the city. A huge shoutout to our server, Tye, who made the entire experience even more memorable. Attentive, kind, and full of personality Tye went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Spicy Mango is an instant New Orleans gem, and I can’t wait to go back. If you haven’t been yet, RUN! Your taste buds will thank you! 🌴🥭🍹

I really wish there was a higher rating because 5 stars is not enough! Spicy Mango is an experience worth the ticket! Starting at the door you are treated like royalty all the way to being seated!!! I had the honor of having the server Taylor bless our table! Her knowledge of the menu was top tier and was able to guide my family and I to a wonderful first time! So, if you visit please ask for Taylor of you want top tier service. No shade to the other servers...I just didn't have the pleasure of having them at my table. From the movement of the restaurant I can bet dollars to doughnuts they were also on the ball! Had a quick convo witht he executive chef and gave him all the rave he and the staff deserve! Please come check out Spicy Mango! For sure the best experience I've had in the restaurant sense in a good long while!

I absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was beautiful and intimate and the staff was amazing- from the bartenders, servers, bust men and management. We came with a group of 9 and everyone was so accommodating, being that we were in CPT time! We stopped at the bar first, and the drinks were delicious, I had a spicy margarita. Now for the food, oh my the ceviche was delicious! I almost hated that I decided to share because I quickly needed another one. Now for my entree I did try the jerk Mac and cheese. At the very last bite of dish, I discovered a foreign object. I immediately informed the server and the manager came out, apologized, and compensated the meal for me. Great service recovery, I still managed to tip the server the amount of the meal. My review is biased based on finding that, but it was tasteful and had nice kick with the flavors.The menu had quite a few dishes that looked appetizing I would love to try. Overall I can’t wait to come again.

Our meal at Spicy Mango was absolutely fantastic. The Caribbean-inspired menu is just that--inspired. Every bite and every sip was delicious. Highlights were the Jerk Chicken Mac and cheese, fried sweet plantains, and the cocktails (tropical takes on a French 75 and a Sazerac, both scrumptious). Our server, Neek, was delightful and very helpful in going over the menu with us. This location, right where the French Quarter meets the Marigny makes Spicy Mango just steps from some of the best shops, music venues, the French Market, and a fantastic open air art market. We will be back again and again.

Clean one-page simple menu. The food, the service and the atmosphere are extraordinary! We will definitely come back here again. Every dish we ordered were perfect 10 out of 10. It’s rich and not at all salty. I know i will be thinking about that cocktail until I can have it again.

I had the BEST experience at Spicy Mango! Our waitress, TYE, was absolutely amazing – so nice, funny, and professional, and she felt like family by the end of the night. She gave great recommendations, checked on us often without being overbearing, and truly made the whole meal so enjoyable. Service like that makes all the difference. The food was amazing, truly a 10/10. And the place itself is gorgeous, you could take so many beautiful pictures here. Definitely a must-visit in New Orleans!

Love the vibe of this place. Upscale but comfy and the Nola Caribbean fusion is a perfect combo. The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Food is a little pricey but portion sizes are great! Delicious cocktail options, and the food has great flavor. Definitely suggest a reservation to avoid a long wait.

First time visiting (10/4/25) to see what the hype was all about. It was all DAT and a whole lot more. Chris was our server. Chris suggested our appetizers, entrées, and drinks. We had the: crabmeat beignets, habanero wings, and coconut shrimp for appetizers. Entrées: Braised Oxtail, jerk mac & cheese, peas & rice, cabbage. I think that was it. Everything was Excellent!!! The managers and other personnel made the experience Top Notch. We will Definitely become regulars.

Outstanding Service! I had an amazing experience thanks to our server, Corey! He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. & his personality was very authentic! Our drinks were always full, our food arrived promptly, and every request was handled with a smile. It's rare to find someone who truly elevates the entire dining experience! thank you for making our visit memorable! We'll definitely be back. much love COREY G!!! Keep being GREAT!!!

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.

The shrimp ceviche was probably the best thing on the menu -- bright, flavorful, and fresh! The street fruit salad was different and refreshing, though a very small portion. The Emerald Green Salad was just okay -- edible, but nothing memorable. Service was fair, especially considering we were a large group. Our waitress was polite and friendly, which I appreciated. Being a big table did make it fun to try several dishes. The crawfish beignets were way too salty, and the grease tasted like it hadn't been changed in a while. The Mango Habanero Wings were edible and spicy, but nothing to write home about. The stewed oxtails were good, while the whole jerk chicken made a dramatic presentation (served flaming at the table!) -- unfortunately, it was so spicy that I couldn't taste anything but heat. The oxtail mac and cheese was a miss for me -- one bite was enough. I didn't realize mac and cheese could be bad, but here we are. We sat outside, thankfully, because there was a strong fish smell inside (understandable since they serve seafood, but still unpleasant). One more thing to note: there's a $35 fee if you bring in an outside cake, so you're better off just ordering one of their desserts. Overall, a few bright spots, but not a place I'd rush back to.

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.

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.

Where do I start? Probably one of the best restaurants in NO. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because the music is just too loud! Food excellent atmosphere excellent, vibes excellent. Also for a Caribbean place I didn't hear one reggae song. If you go the wings AMAZING! The oxtails AMAZING! Red Snapper was great but needed more sauce. Best cabbage I've ever had and my mother was a very good cook! Definitely a go to restaurant for me whenever I come to NO. It's best to make a reservation.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Stopped in to Spicy Mango a few days before the official opening, safe to say I fell in love! Spicy Mango is a newly opened restaurant under Morrow Hospitality. This restaurant offers Caribbean--New Orleans style dishes and does not disappoint. Food is so very flavorful and the drinks as well. Shoutout to Paige behind the bar mixing such a great custom cocktail for me!! The decor is super pretty and island like, once you walk in the music + decor definitely set the tone. This restaurant is perfectly located on the corner of Frenchman and Esplanade, directly across from the Jazz Museum-- extremely close to the Quarter and CBD. I look forward to visiting Spicy Mango again very soon!

Being from out of state their 5 for spicy is my 10. However, the curry chicken was fantastic! Tried the bread, the shrimp, rice, and the fish! We all got something different and tried each. The service was fantastic and they were super busy. It was a little loud for my taste, but it was a great experience and good food.

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!

Spicy Mango - New Orleans Everything here was a hit! The braised cabbage, jerk mac & cheese, escovitch red snapper, and even the West Indies French 75 were all bursting with flavor. The food has that perfect balance of island flair and New Orleans comfort -- seasoned, soulful, and truly unforgettable. While in NOLA I actually visited 3 out of 5 of Larry's restaurants, and Spicy Mango really sealed the deal for me, I'm officially a huge fan. If you're looking for bold flavors, great vibes, and a menu that delivers on every plate, this is the spot.

Love everything about my vist to Spicy Mango. The service was great and the food was wonderful.

Staff was friendly service was good. The interior was a very beautiful place. The food was delicious. I just wish that oxtails came with rice and peas and instead of white rice. The spicy mango margarita the presentation was beautiful. But the drink wasn't all that good to me. my friend had a old-fashioned and she said the price was on a high sign and it wasn't all that good to her.. my other friend had the stewed curry chicken she said was good. Escovitch Red Snapper come with Rice and Peas.

Beautiful restaurant, great vibes, super flavorful food with a spicy kick. And yes, mango can be found in drinks, dishes and even a mango tree inside the spot! Everybody's so creative, forreal. I visited Spicy Mango during their soft opening, a few days before they did a big grand opening during ESSENCE Weekend. Reservations were tight so I contacted the restaurant a day prior asking would a walk in be okay. Now I did attempt to go in a few minutes before 5pm, along with other patrons and they most def told us to wait outside and locked the door. No shade! I understand. However I was seated in about 5 min when I got inside--not bad as I could tell they were going to be busy the day before ESSENCE Fest kicked off! First things first, the decor is gorgeous. Definitely looks like you were transported to the tropics. Those who eat frequently in NOLA will see it has the newly adopted "you're not in NOLA, you're in Miami now" vibe. Ditching grass walls for more natural light, carved stone and wood/wicker adornments. The patio is niiiioce. They have fans and the little things to keep flies away. The outdoor bar is the perfect spot to be if you don't mind a little sweat during these summer months. You also have to walk through the outdoor patio to go to the restroom. I sat inside at a table near the windows for perfectly lit images and videos. You're welcome. On to the food, now I was told to try the jerk mac n cheese and I have to say this is one of the stars of the menu. The coconut shrimp is also fantastic, as it leans more into a sweet/spicy vibe rather than only being loaded with coconut. Crawfish beignets are good for those who still want a taste of the city, but fritter-style. (perfect fusion of Caribbean and Creole) Now I love the stewed chicken but it was HOT. I love spicy food, but it was on the edge of being unbearably hot. It came out smoking which was a 10/10, lol. However I did get the plantains and jerk mac as sides which balanced it out. I didn't get the jerk burger but it looked great. Has a slaw you can get on top or on the side. Also served with yuca fries! Most entrees do not come with sides and must be ordered separately. Rum Cake is a must for dessert. So moist with the tastiest ice cream and glitzy topping. For drinks I got the Rude Gal which is their signature spicy mango marg and Bujwah cocktail with passion fruit rum and ginger flavors. They do many versions of the drinks as mocktails as well. I was recommended to get a lemonade with added flavor and the mango was so refreshing. Staff members were very nice and accommodating. Managers greeted and checked on us throughout the meal. My servers were so knowledgeable and had great recommendations. Music also leans into the "Miami" vibe if you were wondering. Very H&M music if you know the vibes. Like Pitbull is around the corner ordering a cocktail. They do not have off-street parking, but if you get there near opening time you may be able to find a good spot. As someone who has tried every restaurant under the Morrow Hospitality umbrella, I think this is the best. Not even because it's new, but because a lot of attention was put into detail. The food, drinks, theme and aesthetic are all aligned.

Spicy Mango has so much potential, but has so many little kinks to work out! We visited the restaurant at around 9:30 pm on a whim, with no reservation. We were told a 45-minute wait, and in 45 minutes, we were told our table was ready. The hostess led us outside to a table, just to come back inside, just to come back outside, before telling us to wait a little longer before our table was clean. She seemed confused. By then, it was well after 10:15 p.m. on a Saturday night. The restaurant is gorgeous, by the way, and really gives a tropical, nightlife vibe. After 15 minutes? We were finally seated outside and our waitress took our drink and food orders. The menu was slightly expensive but we were not phased as we had visited another one of Larry Morrow's (Sun Chong) restaurants during our trip. I ordered the half jerk chicken, but ended up receiving the whole jerk chicken but was not charged, obviously. The chicken was flavorful and was spicy, as jerk should be. However, the rice and peas, plantains, and cabbage we ordered were also very spicy, so I ended up with some bad stomach pains the next morning from the spice overload. I actually never ordered the side of cabbage, but they brought it out to me for some reason, but again, I was never charged for it, so what the hell. My cousin ordered the jerk burger, also spicy, and the jerk macaroni and cheese. The macaroni was made with ZITI NOODLES???? Which was odd, but the flavor was there. The fries that came with the burger looked 3D-printed. All of the food was delicious, but the restaurant is extremely unorganized, and this was obvious during our time there. I won't speak too much on this, but our waitress sat down to vent with us and divulged some of her own issues with the restaurant, so it seemed like customers and staff alike realized that some things needed work. The restaurant also obviously caters to certain celebrity guests, which makes wait times longer for us regular folk. It is a new spot, so I'm pretty sure everything will eventually work out in the long run.

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!

Incredible service with delicious flavors of the Caribbean. I'm so thrilled that Spicy Mango is open and thriving. We had the Fried Plantains appetizer - sweet and savory - for a yummy starter. I had the Jerk Mac N Cheese as my main course - easily the best I've ever tasted. Creamy cheese sauce, a lil' spicy kick, and incredible jerk chicken generously piled on top. Loved the wonderful Jamaican style cocktails and a lively atmosphere. Can't wait to return!

Omg soooooooo good!!! Plus I met chris Tucker there!!! My mouth is too full to say much but everything was excellent! We were a group of 8 and everyone loved their food! Thank you!

Must try! Good vibes and food. Dined here for my boyfriend bday dinner and Ro our waiter ensured we had a good time. Loved the bday shots. Ordered the mango habanero wings, lamb chops, jerk chicken, cabbage and rum cake. All delish. Will definitely be back on my next trip.

This is a great new venue. The food was different and extremely tasty. We are a prompt service and we got it. The only improvement would be if they had a bit more range of lager beers.

This spot is a whole vibe! My second experience here with the same ambiance-- good music, cool atmosphere, and everyone was just enjoying themselves. The staff? Well my waitress Ty was definitely a girls girl and made my sister's Birthday experience unforgettable! She was so cute and friendly, just a good spirit. But I must shoutout the entire staff for being Super friendly and on top of everything without being over the top. Not only that the GM Josh personally went around mixing and mingling with the guest making us feel so at home! Super cool guy! I'm from New Orleans so I'm kind of a tough critic, but I can't say not one thing negative about this restaurant! Now on to the food... WOW. Every single dish was TOP TIER-- The plating was magazine worthy... so flavorful, fresh, and just straight-up delicious. My sisters and I were giving praise to the cook with each bite. Drinks were just as good and matched the food perfectly. Honestly, it's one of those places where the food, the vibes, and the service all come together and make you not want to leave. We got so caught up in the experience we stayed longer than we should and missed the opening act of a concert we were headed to. I'm glad I chose this spot for my sister's bday, we will definitely be returning.

We asked a couple we met on a ghost tour what we shouldn't miss in New Orleans, and they told us to come here. It did not disappoint. From the moment we met enigmatic Mel, our server, to chatting with Joshua, GM whose grandmother's recipe is the incomparable Joshi bread, we experienced not only the incredible flavors but the vibe that makes this restaurant truly special. The food is unreal. The atmosphere and playlist are upbeat and fun. We can't wait to come back on our next visit to NOLA!

I enjoyed my Birthday Dinner here! The food was amazing. The service was chef kiss! The ambiance was definitely giving a Carribean with the indoor and outdoor seating! They were very accommodating to my party. We all enjoyed!

Drinks are good!!! Don't underestimate the spicy mango drink, packs a mean punch, in a good way! Definitely worth an order

Amazing ambience & Food! Service is impeccable. Ro was so professional & all the food was on point. Cooked well & spicy where it was tasty yet warm end! We loved the mango habanero wings & crawfish beignets. Ceviche was so tasty & chips were nicely done. Flaming Branzino . Burger was great. Coconut Shrimp & sauce was very nice! Curry stewed Chicken was flavorful !

I went here for my sister's birthday dinner which was a party of 10. I was running slightly late. I walk in & both hostesses were very nice & so was one of the waiters. They directed me to my party. I sit down & the waitress was taking drink orders. She brought us some water with lemons then came our drinks. I ordered the restaurant's version of a caipirinha & the other ladies at my table ordered French 75s. I liked my drink, it was sweet, tangy, tart & refreshing. One of the ladies seated next to me liked her French 75 the other requested that they make it sweeter.PS, the signature cocktail menu doesn't list prices. I didn't order a starter but I tried a crawfish beignet, 4 small size beignets come on the plate. It was tasty. My sister brought over some ceviche but no one seemed crazy about it. I ordered the braised ox tails & the jerk Mac & cheese. The venue has dim lighting & they play good music mixed with house music. We thought the music was a little too loud. We had to speak loud to hear one another. Our waitress was polite/attentive & she tried to keep up. I asked her if she could split our tickets & she said only 2 tickets per table could be split. I wasn't thrilled about that because we all know some people don't keep track of what they order. The entrees come out. I tried the ox tails & they were tender and very rich in flavor/spicy. They come with white rice. The Mac& cheese was rich in flavor with sliced jerk chicken on top. The food was overly seasoned & spicy. I don't recommend these two dishes together. I thought that I was exaggerating but the other ladies agreed with me that the multiple spices are intense. They said that they would return but more for the drinks & starters. I agreed. I enjoy well seasoned food but I don't like overly seasoned foods. An 18% gratuity was added to our big party which was understood. My individual bill for one drink, my entree & side was $62 not including tax or tip. It was a set back for everyone to review the bill. Then to figure out who had what & how much they owed once the bill was printed. The waitress boxed everyone's food & placed it in individual bags. I wouldn't recommend this place for parties larger than 4 people. The place has nice decor, good service, the food was okay to my taste.

The food is not bland, brace yourself, it's the real deal, oxtails and cabbage was flavorful with a spicy kick and the spicy margaritas was a must have drink, at least ONE, maybe two. We sat outside which is a cool vibe but NOLA humidity might have you thinking twice. Otherwise this place is interesting and worth a visit.

I absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was beautiful and intimate and the staff was amazing- from the bartenders, servers, bust men and management. We came with a group of 9 and everyone was so accommodating, being that we were in CPT time! We stopped at the bar first, and the drinks were delicious, I had a spicy margarita. Now for the food, oh my the ceviche was delicious! I almost hated that I decided to share because I quickly needed another one. Now for my entree I did try the jerk Mac and cheese. At the very last bite of dish, I discovered a foreign object. I immediately informed the server and the manager came out, apologized, and compensated the meal for me. Great service recovery, I still managed to tip the server the amount of the meal. My review is biased based on finding that, but it was tasteful and had nice kick with the flavors.The menu had quite a few dishes that looked appetizing I would love to try. Overall I can't wait to come again.

Marlina made my night at Spicy Mango. Her recommendation of the Bujwah with passion fruit and ginger beer was a game changer that transported me straight through the Caribbean. The jerk burger she suggested was just as incredible, juicy, smoky, and full of flavor. The dimly lit, airy space with its fresh green and woody ambience set the perfect backdrop for the evening. Between the food, the drink, the atmosphere, and Marlina's outstanding service, this was an unforgettable experience. Marlina is the reason I will be coming back.

First time at this newly opened opened restaurant. We sat inside due the weather. But outside looks nice as well...very Tulum like. The food was amazing. And service was good as well. They had music playing which was a little loud. The food is shareable, but pricey, in my opinion if you're dining with others, if you want to taste the menu all around. Def would recommend.

It was an amazing experience. The restaurant is so cute! I love the French 75 that they offer & it was my 1st time trying the branzino fish & was delicious, I sampled the snapper & it was good as well as the jerk Mac & cheese

I was so excited to see this fabulous new restaurant on Frenchman st! I loved the ambiance (sat inside, little loud. Cute for date night or girls night. Staff was friendly and welcoming and food was delicious. I highly recommend the oxtails (regular and red beans). We got both. No regrets! 10/10 Cabbage was good too. 8/10 Dessert (mango pie and bread pudding) 7/10 cocktails - 7/10. Coconut shrimp -7/10 There were underwhelming and I would probably not order these again. Will go back and try other items on the menu!

I love everything about this place! 10/10 I wish I remembered my servers name! She was everything. Food was fresh and drinks were delicious! Can't wait to visit again! The place definitely made me feel like I was in a different country!

A very pleasant surprise, we stumbled in on accident not really knowing what it was all about. The staff was great and we were relating quickly. Alex (I think) was a true delight servicing us, she had a great personality. The food was delicious, full of flavor and depth. One visit and it has become my second favorite place to eat when visiting NOLA. Highly recommend the crawfish beignets! Don't miss this little gem, truly delicious.

Spicy Mango is definitely a vibe -- the aesthetics make you feel like you've stepped into Tulum with its atmosphere and design. The food was seasoned well, and the jerk burger was a standout. Drinks were good but on the pricey side. Overall, I'd rate it a solid 8/10

The food was decadent.. Presentation and flavor was 11 out of 10. To add to the overall experience, Tye, our server was amazing. Attentive, and educational. Jerk mac and cheese and the oxtai were perfectly seasoned. A must try when you are in New Orleans!l

I popped in town on a Saturday night and went for a late solo dinner. No reservation & it was busy. Was added to the waitlist but it's off Frenchman so it was easy to kill time. The wait was about 30 minutes. I was quickly seated-- chose the outdoor bar. Let me say it is beautifully decorated-- it definitely gives good vibes. I dove in soon as my food was served & didn't think to take a pic. I had the oxtails w/ rice, braised cabbage, & plantains. Overall, it did not disappoint. Great flavor; perfect spice. The cabbage was my fave. The plantains were done just right. But, the oxtails were more fatty than meat. Otherwise, not a single complaint about the meal or the service. From the security at the door, hostess, bartenders, & servers, everyone had a smile on their face & was welcoming. I'd definitely come back. Be sure to try their version of a French 75- it is perfection.

I saw several reviews for this restaurant and wanted to check it out for myself. It comes highly recommended and I love Caribbean food! The ambiance fits the theme, very Caribbean. Love it! Service was top tier, Alex was a pleasure. Gave recommendations and explained everything very well. Great personality. On to the food - we started with joshi bread and charred elotes. Highly recommend both. Bread reminded me of a beignet without the sugar and it comes a guava butter 9/10. Excellent! Elotes are grilled and have a creamy sauce under them 10/10. My wife got the escovitch red snapper, jerk mac and cheese and I got the oxtails, cabbage. Red snapper comes as a whole fish fried with pickled veggies and red pepper sauce 12/10. The fish is amazing! At least one person per table should have that. It's a must! The Mac and cheese had an awesome cheese sauce 9/10. The cabbage is really spicy but a great balance of flavors. I like spicy food so I liked it but it could deter people 8/10. Lastly, the oxtails were a great disappointment 5/10. While everything else was hot, these were served cold. I think they were refrigerated from the night before. They tasted like Worcestershire sauce, that's it. Don't recommend the oxtails.

If there was an option for no stars, that's what I would give the spicy mango. Our reservation was at 7:30 and we weren't sat until 8:00. Came for a nice evening with my boyfriend, and we had cocktails, apps and our meals all within 27 minutes! If I wanted fast food I would've went to McDonald's. The restaurant vibe itself is basic. It's giving wannabe socialite Miami, but fails miserably. The cocktail menu was being "redone" and was unavailable for us to even look at - instead our waitress stood there awkwardly reciting two or three drinks we may enjoy. Ordered one, tasted like a grapefruit Clorox wipe. I was able to drink it in 5 minutes tops - no booze, no nothing - straight fruit juice. But not to fret, I finished the drink just in time for my meal which came out alongside the appetizer just 3 minutes after the drink hit the table. Shrimp ceviche was incredibly standard and subpar - no flavor. I got the jerk chicken, decent for sure. My boyfriend got the oxtail, it was good but nothing we couldn't make at home. We strongly dislike Son Chong Nola and overheard a convo that the chefs / owners / restaurants are related...we knew it once we walked in the door. All around horrible. We were going to get sushi take out and should have. Honestly, if I stayed longer than a singular hour I think I would've been more mad to just be there longer. If you're thinking of coming here. Don't.

Went into spicy mango the place was beautiful, the hostess was amazing the food was amazing our only problem was the service I'm guessing be we were a younger couple eating, our server was neek she never refilled our drinks I'm guessing because we only had water she never came check on us we had to flag down another server that was nearby serving her table she was very friendly we will come back but we will specify please not neek but other than my service this place and it's food was amazing and not to add I'm in the service industry so please when serving people don't judge a book by its cover as in how we look like a younger couple that's probably not gone tip,because I tip amazing and I still gave her a good tip.

Food and service were AMAZING and it was their grand opening (which usually is too chaotic at most restaurants)! Tried the coconut shrimp, oxtails, jerk mac, and rum cake. The rum cake was to die for!!! Also had their drinks which were super good!!! Vibe was also amazing inside. New NOLA fav! Will definitely be back.

GREAT!!!! TRY it!! Service was very good Food was very delicious Ambiance was perfect

From the moment we walked in, the experience was top-tier. The hostesses greeted us with such warmth and professionalism which is a great first impression. The ambience of the restaurant was absolutely gorgeous, with a relaxed but upscale vibe that made the whole meal feel special. Our waitress Nia was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, and gave amazing advice on what to order. I went with her suggestions and all of her recommendations were great including the mocktails. We ordered the Mango Habanero wings, Branzino, Whole Fish and Jerk Mac & Cheese. Not one option was a miss.The service was prompt, and we didn't have to wait long at all, which made everything even better. Between the welcoming staff, the beautiful atmosphere, and the incredible service, this spot is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommend!

The only thing good about this place is the ambiance. The building is very well designed/ decorated. We got sat at the outside bar and our bartender was extremely rude and inattentive. The food had great presentation but was mediocre. The drinks were extremely sweet/pure syrup and I would never come here again just because service is everything for me. The hosts were great, but upon actually sitting down, our experience was not the best, definitely a tourist trap.

We had the branzino fish with jerk mac n cheese, and the curry chicken with rice and peas. The food was delicious. We also had several mixed drinks that didn't disappoint either. Everyone we encountered from our server, to the chef, and bar manager were friendly and hospitable. I love it here and can't wait to return to try more food.

Cute place, but it's probably overpriced due to the location. We paid $16 for two shots at the bar, but when we ordered the same shots at the table, they were $16 each. The food is hit or miss -- the Jerk Mac and Cheese was amazing, but the Crawfish Beignets were just okay.
