2491 Lake Shore Blvd W, Etobicoke, ON M8V 1C5, Canada
Food maintains the delicious Jamaican/Caribbean flavours for practically any dish ordered. Service is always courteous and friendly. Best bang for the buck!
Delicious food and friendly service (if you're there at off-peak hours. Just one lady working most times so if it's busy, service is gonna be slow). I don't want to say it's overpriced here because everything is too expensive these days.. but $16+ for one meal is getting up there 😕 Still love and recommend this place though, and I drop in whenever I can afford it.
Wonderful customer service. They were very friendly and respectful, served quickly with a smile. I dined in and forgot to take pictures of the delicious food. I could believe the price for the large and small was a dollar difference so I had to try a few dishes and bring some home. We started with the Jerk chicken with rice and peas… delicious, spicy Curry goat with extra gravy on my rice and peas Filled with flavour, tender. The oxtail and rice and peas very good The food is authentic and fresh. The rice and peas was so good I could eat it soso (by itself) All the meals came with a delicious coleslaw similar to kfc coleslaw. The plantains were sooo sweet I had to get more before I left. I tried the perfectly round fried dumplings. They were soft. It melted in my mouth and my mouth was begging for more. Next time I’ll try the soup. I’m so excited to go back and try the rest of the menu. This is real Jamaican food.
Delicious delicious food! The portion size was massive! Great jerk sauce, would easily go back
Very delicious and authentic Jamaican food. Not too spicy for those who don’t like spice no worries and for those who do we can add it. The rice and peas and jerk chicken was so good I ended up eating it before getting home.
I am a regular at Mangoes. The food never disappoints. You always get great customer service and they always maintain a great level of professionalism and politeness. I am never disappointed. The quantity is always a great amount as well. I recommend this restaurant to friends, family and any one that is looking for an authentic Jamaican meal. I have attached a few pictures, the food is always amazing. I love supporting small businesses!
Great place to grab quick Jamaican food. I like the jerk chicken. Good portions. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Good atmosphere and location.
Decided to stop by before they closed didn’t regret it! Roti and jerk chicken was delicious. I would definitely come back here again and try other items. Quick and welcoming service from the staff. Thank you for a good experience!
Got food I did not order. Instead of fixing the mistake owner argued that I got what I ordered. and would not change the food.
I love the food at this place!
Very good cook..
The best Jamaican food in the area by far. This place is definitely a must try! Great portions and decent price.
The best jerk chicken in the neighbourhood, Large portion sizes, fair pricing, and very friendly staff The jerk gravy is some of the best Ive ever had, and the coleslaw is incredible I highly recommend this low key spot
Genuinely tastes home cooked, you need to try their curry goat and stew chicken! Such nice service too. Their 6.50 lunch special is the best and such a good deal!
This is the 2nd time I ve ordered the jerk chicken meal, once for my Mom and once for myself. I am so disappointed that the chicken was old and there was no way to tell because it was covered in the gravy. By the time you find out, you re already home. This is the first time feeling nauseous a day later, after eating there. I thought the old chicken thing was a one off when I ordered, but 2 times is now a trend. I would never recommend this place to anyone anymore.
Better then Wes ox tail
Awesome authentic Jamaican food. Big serving size. Value for money. The jerk chicken is the best.
So good and the $6.50 lunch special is a crazy price...
Best Jamaican food in south Etobicoke and it s not even close. Lovely folk. Great food. Highly recommend.
Their lunch special is tasty and the BEST deal for lunch in the area.
I ordered a boneless chicken Roti from skip and when I received it, there was so much bone and cartilage in the roti. So disappointed, considering I was really craving this. I ordered one for my daughter too and when I was placing the order there was no option for level of spice. So I assumed it came with no spice and just spice on the side. My daughter can t handle spice and it came very spicy. I will not be ordering from here again. I wish I could get a refund.
The food is so great here and reasonably priced. A true gem in Mimico!
Nice spot. Ordered a jerk chicken plate with some plantains and festival. A little expensive for what we got but the taste was on point. The lady who works here is super friendly.
Legit Tasty Affordable Good hang Food : 5/5 |
Mangoes is a wonderful restaraunt, serving some of the best and most authentic Jamaican food in Toronto. Cant beat the lunch special here! The lady who runs it is so nice and always make visiting lovely. The fried chicken is especially good, but the whole menu is delicious. Ive also tried the oxtail, curry chicken, stew chicken, jerk chicken, chicken soup, and sweet potato pie.
I lamented about giving a review. Im torn. I dont want you guys to turn up and buy all the fried chicken..YES. it is that good. It is the best in town.
A hidden gem- great food, value and service
Highly recommended without any reservations. High Quality food, clean atmosphere, affordable price. A Big applause to the Lady working there. She is truly a professional.
I hate to do this because the lady was really nice but the food just did not meet up to par... The oxtail was bland, I LOVE oxtail and I didnt even finish a quarter of it. The jerk was so dry. The bbq chicken was decent but the best thing about this place was the coleslaw, the only really good thing there.
Delicious food, great value
I moved in this area almost 2 years now and I happened to randomly come to this restaurant not expecting much and was I wrong! The food is immaculate! It is sooo tasty, so authentic I feel like I m eating at my moms house (the food is slightly better then my moms ). I am so happy that I randomly ordered from here because it has been my go to atleast once a week. Service sometimes takes a little long but I would wait an hour and not complain lol. Thank you to the chefs, cashier and everyone that works there. You represent Jamaican food well.
This little place is a must go! The Jamaican food is delicious and the customer service is tops! Highly recommend!
I have been supporting this small, local business for a few years now. It is a true Lake Shore gem! I always go for the curry goat. I consider it the best in the area with amazing service! Thank you Mama Mango!
When i moved to Toronto 30 years ago, Alberts was my go-to for Jamaica food. Now i have a second place! Great food and service. Call ahead if you want akee n salt fish or their snapper. Everything else is also good.
Just had a great Goat Roti at Mangoes. It was huge, tender and perfectly spiced with just the right amount of heat. The coleslaw was also very good. Cant wait to go back.
Driving home from Valumart about a year ago, I smelled some good West Indian food coming from Mangoes. Ordered Oxtail w Rice & Peas. Tender meat, sauce had a little kiss of Scotch Bonnet, rice cooked to perfection with no integrity lost from all the sauce.
Food is REALLY good !!!
Went there today with my two daughters. The lady was so sweet and the food was delicious. The younglings downed the rice and peas and fried chicken without me having to constantly remind them to eat.
Nobody in Canada makes better oxtail and bbq chicken. Your fav restaurant could never compete with mangoes, period!
Just ordered food from here on Uber eats! Hands down best Jamaican food I ve had in the city in a very long time. Portion size was great, flavour was proper and price amazing. Will now be my go to place. Thanks Mangoes
Such good food, ox tail was awesome. So friendly. Tastes like a home cooked meal. Highly recommended
Came here for lunch on my break at work one day, and coming back again today! Some of the best Jerk chicken I ve ever had.
Really good food and friendly service
Tried the Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken, both were great!
Excellent portions, Jamaican food done right. A gem in Mimico. $6.50 lunch special is a steal of a deal
Ordered through skip the dishes. Good portions (oxtail meal) aunthentic flavor and spice. A Real Ting !!
It was good but there was no homemade pepper sauce.
Excellent no complaints so far yummy food
Best Caribbean food in town!! Large portion and decent pricing!! Lady that works there was super nice and friendly! Will definitely come back to try other dishes
Food was good for the price
Always great meals. I would say they are more cost efficent than any fast food chain.
I ordered a meal at this restaurant recently. The food is delicious, good portions and at an affordable price compared to most carribean restaurant. Staff was also friendly. The only downside was certain food items were not available.However this will my go to carribean restaurant in the area from now on
Service was great but the food itself was lacking spice and flavour.
A total gem. Super tasty, authentic and great value for money. Don t hesitate to try it! Big up yourself, Chef!
Make sure check your bills she will charge you extra small portion she will charge you large and cheap out on any sauce
My colleagues and I got the jerk chicken dinners. Chicken was very moist and flavorful. No, it wasn t oxtail gravy but It was still really good. Coleslaw was sweet and the rice was moist as well. I would come back if I was in the area.
We ordered 5 meals for our workplace. Food was delicious, had a little discrepancy, gave a call and they figured it out very quickly. Everyone was happy with their meals, would order again.
One of the best food in Toronto.... I specifically love their CURRY GOAT.. and not forgetting their jerk chicken and oxtail just WOW super delicious ..,
Very good Caribbean food with very friendly and patient staff. Definitely better then all restaurants in the neighborhood! 10/10
Bring back the beef soup... Good for the gym. Food : 5/5
Great family run, Caribbean restaurant Portions and quality of food are always top-notch. Food
Best restaurant in the city Much respect to the lady very respectful and lovely
I bought a chicken soup from there because i wasnt feeling well. i get home and to my surprise theres NO CHICKEN. i paid 10.17 for a soup that had i went anywhere else i could have gotten a veggie soup for less than half that price. When i called to inform them, they had a list of reasons why theres no chicken. If they knew that they should have said theres no chicken before i spent my money. And wants offer fried chicken to put in my soup. After the lady says they dont take back soup, she offers a small soup for next time, even thoughni dont live here. Being that the soup is paid for, figured might as well eat it, theres nothing but potatoes and 1piece of carrot in my soup....and how could i forget, there was a slew of chicken bones at the bottom. The soup had no chicken, but was littered with bones. It sucks that there name is my favorite fruit because they left a sour taste in my mouth. Never again
I visit this local gem at LEAST once or twice a week. The $5 Lunch special is well portioned and the food tastes great. Oxtail and Stew Chicken are my go-to s. Definitely my favourite take out spot I m the area.
Taste just like home Many blessings
The food was great and a good value
They are always. Ery nice. I got the Jerk Chicken with rice and beans large. The fish (Snapper) not the best. Fried chicken. Chicken always good. Ox tail is nice too. Fish was not the best.
This is a great and awesome place to go
My sister and I came to Mangos after having a long day. We just wanted good food and good conversation. We never heard of Mango s before but thought we would give it a try. I am so happy we did!! The food tastes like home and love. Everything was absolutely perfect! My sister got the fried chicken and I got the bbq chicken and we might have ordered all the fried dumplings in the restaurant We will absolutely be back!!
Me and my gf just picked up the fried chicken combo and wow was it amazing! Chicken was fried perfectly! Highly recommend this place if you are ever in etobicoke. Owner is so friendly!
One of the best Caribbean food joints Ive been to in a loooong time. I make it my mission to go there every time I am working at the local apartments. I can honestly say I crave it the moment I know I am headed to this part of Lakeshore. I know I will continue to go back over and over again. Its all good folks if you havent tried it yet I suggest you get your butt in there and get some good jerk with some of that delicious Cole slaw.
The best Caribbean restaurant ever, everything was awesome, I had the fish, bar-b-cue chicken, jerked chicken, curried goat, soup and fried chicken and the customer service was great. I will be going back there many times. I ordered my fish for Easter and it was amazing, not only was it good but it was a lot.
I always get the curry goat and they never disappoint. Great service , great food
Great food
One of the best Caribbean restaurants in the GTA! Highlights - Everything
Mangoes is our go to spot for jerk chicken. Good food and large portions!
No no- I ordered the curry roti. I threw out 80% of it. I ate most the of the roti. The curry lacked spice and was very watery. I couldn t even pick up the roti and eat it like how you are suppose to eat it. This roti taste like something a Caribbean person would make. It s the worst I ve ever had. Yuck. Never ordering her again and funny enough it s the reviews that convinced me to buy from this restaurant. Never again.
Great food. Very nice lady.
The jerk chicken was very good as well as barbeque chicken.
This place was amazing. Food slapped ! Great customer service.
Best Jamaican Food in Toronto. Food is made with love by the owners who are also very kind
Ordered roti and it came in a tortilla shell, watery and bland..very disappointing
I moved down here about 6 months ago and have been struggling to find good Jamaican food. Today I had the snapper with rice and peas and let me tell you the rice could eat by itself! The food is made with love nothing hurry everything proper.
Best oxtail around
First time i tried oxtail on lakeshore restuarant as others were cheap on quality and quantity this place is gonna come my oxtail stop from now on its definitely worth it and delicious
I ve had this more than a few times, since I lived right across the street it s 6/5, top-tier Caribbean* food. Cooked with love, only a few employees, and 100% authentic. The lady at the front is super nice, such a sweet woman. I will be coming back here whenever in Toronto. The best Caribbean restaurant, hands down.
Great hole in the wall. Friendly staff, very fair pricing, big portions and delicious jerk chicken! Only a few minutes from the waterfront for a nice picnic.
Food is delicious. Will definitely visit again
Good local food
This is a hidden Gem!! Good food and good people !!
Good ol grandmas home cooking is what this feels like. Its delicious, reasonably priced, and most of all the owner/chef is the most wonderful lady. She is kind, generous and puts love into the food. I will be back for sure. Definitely give this resto (take out recommended) a try and dont be turned off by its exterior hole in the wall appearance.
The food is so good here! I had the snapper. And the people are friendly.
Jerk chicken number 1 .. I haven t ate like it before.. so good n delicious n love the hot and spicy !! I will recommend everyone to visit once .. staff is meravigliosa Parking: Parking no problem , which is most important!!
Had the chicken soup. It was hearty and delicious. Great service.
Staff was so friendly, portion sizes were great and the value is definitely worth it. I cant wait to go back.
Best food ever!!!! The owner/cook is very friendly and the food reminds me of Sunday dinners back home. The meal and dining experience is authentic to Jamaica. I have never been disappointed! Food
Rlly good stew chicken and dumplings.
Always awesome visiting this restaurant. I travel all the way from Bowmanville just for the food. Love the staff - they are awesome! Love the food - you can eat their fried dumplings cold + rice and pease without gravy and it still tastes so succulent and exquisite! Really great! Not to mention how much the food taste like authentic home made Jamaican food. I dont normally write reviews but honestly the people and the food here are phenomenal. Definitely recommend. If you are ever on Lakeshore, definitely check them out for a meal. I guarantee you will not regret it.
Food was on point. Got jerk chicken w/ rice & peas & oxtail gravy.. The perfect amount of spice. Portion size was perfect. Abundance of chicken & rice is rare these days. Woman working was so nice and respectful.
Food is great, but their stew chicken is amazing! Service is fantastic and the portions are quite large.
Love the oxtail, perfect recipe. I would love to eat here again
Lovely Christian lady!!! I always order from here to support my fellow caribbean people plus the food is good.
I will say this on top of the staff being amazing....when your craving, and you eat this food its exactly how you picture it in your dream!!
The chicken soup was real good. Some real spice too. I enjoyed it.
Great food for a great price. The restaurant has that home kitchen vibes that I experience with my mother. I highly recommend to try it out!
i can guarantee that youll feel good eating from here. the owners are nice, quiet folk - the store itself is kind of old, shabby but the food is yummy and very filling! my first time trying this place out after reading reviews and being close by in the neighbourhood. i tried the BBQ chicken, jerk chicken, and oxtail with a spicy gravy (choice between (mild and spicy) poured on top. ALL very good. The oxtail is tender, the jerk chicken has good a nice spicy kick, and the bbq chicken (fried chicken with bbq sauce) was spot on. might be better to try the fried chicken on its own too. i got all mediums, just one is A LOT of food, worth the price. tried the chicken soup because someone reviewed it. it was pretty good. had chunks of chicken, potato, pumpkin or a sweet squash, and a little bit of heat - also filling for a small. i think maybe because of covid/lockdown they have reduced their already small menu but the remaining items are worth trying. their coleslaw is the creamy kind but vinegary, which i like better than too sweet or bland like other places serve. support local!
The lady was very friendly. Huge portion and I ordered medium size. The chicken was very tender and the meat was melting in my mouth. Reasonable price too, $11 for a portion that me and my bf shared. This was my first time trying famous jerk chicken. The only one thing the rice was very spicy for me, but still tasted good. Support local!
Delicious Home style Caribbean cooking! Jerk Chicken has a very nice smoke flavour. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable! The staff is pleasant and friendly. You will love their food! Will be back for sure!!!
Great portions and taste.. had the oxtail and jerk chicken meals.. dumplings and coleslaw.. all top notch
The food is great.the people who run the place are good and its quick.
Fried chicken, spicy gravy on rice n peas is very good.
Really good Caribbean food, for the amount served the price is great. Plus the meat was so tender, it separates from the bones easily. The lady was very nice as well. Note they dont accept credit cards.
This is my new favourite spot. I literally stopped eating just to write this review. Incredible BBQ chicken
I am always satisfied everytime I come here! The food is very tasty :)
Ordered the Oxtail but I forget to order the plantain. Came with rice and peas, and coleslaw. Good food, portion and friendly service.
This place is sooooo good. One of the best spots in the city. Super authentic and great portion sizes. I drove a half hour in traffic to come all the way over here to get this food. Staff are extremely hard working good people. When you go here, order everything on the menu it s all amazing
I found this place on google today and let me tell you it was nothing short of amazing. The curry goat / oxtail is fantastic. Meat falls right off the bone. I m already looking forward to my next order The cook not to mention is a soft spoken sweetheart .. If your looking for good home cooked Caribbean food look no further. Don t be shy give Mangoes a try !
Definitely comfort food and affordable
Simply amazing authentic food.
Great amount of food for the price! The lunch special here is amazing. Curry chicken is really good and flavorful. Rice and beans are really good too!
I go here on break almost every other day to get the weekday lunch special. ($5.65 after tax). They are really good. My favorite is the fried chicken lunch special. The skin on the chicken is so crispy yet the chicken on the inside is always so moist and delicious. They are a small restaurant with the same staff daily. Upside to that is if you go there enough they will recognize you, your order, and be really friendly.
Great lunch special. Very tasty and filling. Wonderful lady behind the counter.
Wow. I felt so much love in every bite.
Trash!!!!
Love the owners, very polite and excellent food. Support Local
Had the jerk chicken, rice and peas and coleslaw - It was fantastic! Large portions and perfectly spiced. Would recommend
Very nice friendly lady at the storefront. Super delicious true homemade authentic food for a very generous price. I will be back
Nice Jamaican spot in Mimico. Super nice people. Great lunch specials. I always go for the jerk chicken rice peas and coleslaw. Homemade hot sauce.Ginger beer to cool it down.Going to walk back for other options. Irie
Awesome food great lady
The only place you can get real Jamaican food.....uuu yum yum yum
Delicious oxtail. The lady is very nice and its obvious she cares about the food she sells. Food is made with love and care, you can tell. Its very hard to find a good place in the city that has GOOD oxtail+ rice n peas.. if you are in the city make sure to stop by!
Best Jamaican food around. Food is cooked fresh everyday and the owner is supper nice.
Terrible food
Best! Love the food! Great staff with a great smile !
Amazing! Her food tastes great, the portions are generous, and inexpensive!!! The owner and staff are warm and friendly. Its my absolute favourite restaurant in Toronto. And with the owner and 1 staff working right in front of you, there is total peace of mind that you are safe dining!!!
I especially love the oxtail here. But the jerk chicken is also so good!
The food is fresh and delicious. The curry goat is awesome
Serving up fresh, authentic Caribbean food. The lunch special is a great deal. Excellent service.
Amazing food!
Food - Service - Going there for more. Try it!!!
We tried Mangoes for the first time today and it did not disappoint! We ordered a large jerk chicken with oxtail gravy on the rice which was enough for a light lunch for two people. The chicken was super flavourful and the coleslaw was bomb! Also, the lady at the counter was too kind, and made our experience even better. We re definitely coming back and this will now be our local Caribbean go to!
Very good food! And the attendant was very polite!
Really nice food
Great food & service
Good food
Ok
The stewed chicken was melt off the bone, just the right amount of heat and delicious. The rice and peas were perfect - not too sticky and flavourful. The coleslaw was divine and the perfect accompaniment.
Best Jamaican authentic Jerk chicken in the GTA.
Best Jamaican food in park lawn for sure
A great place for lunch and dinner
I love this place , amazing food
Good food but Restaurant staff is very rude. I used to eat here almost everyday but due to unprofessional behaviour of the lady working here, I stopped visiting this place completely.
This restaurant have the best Caribbean foods in north America. The services is great and friendly,
The fried chicken and oxtail is what I usually order.. the food is always fresh, the prices are reasonable and the portions are very generous!
Excellent service
One of, if not the best place for Caribbean food West of the Gardiner. All Ive ever gotten here is quality cooking and excellent service. Really beautifully spiced amd flavorful, not to mention portion sizes definitely give you the best bang for your buck. Only catch is not everything is availible all the time, I spoke to the owner, she said most of the food is the type of stuff that take a lot of prep time to make,(and when you taste it youll understand why) and once shes out shes out. So be sure to call ahead if you want something specific like the oxtail or the sides, but no matter what youll get some food and itll be delicious.
Went in yesterday just after closing but they still serviced me anyway Probably one of the best jerk chicken spots you can go to around this area and she is super nice - compliments!
Food was delicious! Ordered the stew chicken and it was melt off the bone. Rice and peas was good and gravy was very flavourful. Excellent portions. Best spot Ive been to in the area if not period. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu. The lady was also very nice and pleasant :) Cant wait to eat here again
Good Jerk Chicken !
Great food. Only serve it as a meal tho. They won t just sell u chicken. I found it strange they refused the business
Beautiful and tasty food for best price on Lake Shore!
Oxtail propA!!,,real yawd flavour you can taste the country hand;)..1Love
Mi waan kiss the chief , food is so amazing
Tried the stew chicken, it comes with beans and rice and salad, its delicious! I got the medium for $10 plus tax, huge amount of food for the price. The only reason it doesnt get 5 stars is that the lady serving was not friendly, maybe wasnt having the best day I dunno. Highly recommend
This is an amazing place to eat . Food is always fresh and good portion for your money I would recommend this place to anyone
this place is a hidden gem, great food, amazing price, and super friendly workers.
Super hole in the wall. Ladies behind the counter were very nice. Food was great! No complaints. Always great to find a new Caribbean spot.
Not the best jerk Ive had but the owner of the place is very friendly. Service with a smile.
Great tasting Jamaican food. Family owned and operated. Reasonably priced menu.
Yum!
Home cooked with good portions
Great food at great price. We got the jerk chicken and curry goat. So good. We will be back again for the food and lovely staff.
Soooooooooo gooooooooood.
Delicious food. Great flavour. Good price:).
Great food. Amazing service
Recently opened up and i was really satisfied when I tried the food. Every week i eat atleast once at mangoes. Place recommended
Wonderful owner. Amazing food at great prices.
This place is a total gem. Best Jamaican chicken going for insane prices.. Chicken done 4 ways: Fried Curry Stewed Jerk Shell mix all 4 on rice for $10. Thats insane.
Fantastic food, great flavour and great price. Hits the spot when you have a craving for jerk. BBQ chicken also very delicious with peas and rice and slaw.
My boyfriend when this resturant. When he walked he felt uncomfortable, everyone stopped doing what they were doing and looked at him. He ask for a goat roti and rudly that they dont have it then his second choose they didnt have as well. Finally the lady cooking in the back said he can have what is there fish or chicken dont think we wil ever go there again. I would rather travel to king and dufferin then be treated rudly
I enjoyed my first experience at Mangoes. I ordered a large jerk chicken dinner and a large fry chicken dinner. Both came with a good portion of chicken, ample rice n peas and nothing else. Each dinner was $10 plus tax. I was asked after each was packed if I wanted salad. Not slaw, but rather a garden salad which I assume would have been complimentary. I declined so she included two small festivals. The service was perfectly friendly. The food was average. I am a huge fan of Caribbean food and have eaten at 10s and 10s of Caribbean establishments. I feel comfortable with saying that this was safe jerk. That is, just enough heat to notice but not nearly enough to bead a sweat, (which is how I like it). The gravy seemed common, perhaps it was instant. The fry chicken was ok, but again, smack dab mediocre. Lastly, alas, there was no scotch bonnet sauce. Only a bottle of Grace Red Hot sauce was available. Ill be back on a Friday for some jerk pork, (the only day of the week its served), and Ill update my review then.
Some real yard cooking near to home...This spot is a life saver. Always fresh! Bless up!
Amazing food, amazing owner. Stew chicken is my fav!!!
This is a nice restaurant with nice people and nice food
Great Caribbean food at very reasonable price.
Love this one place great food Excellent customer service.
I would like to thank you for the Owner for tasty dishes. If someone wants to imagine what Jamaican cuisine tastes, then please come to this small, warm restaurant and convince yourself. Tempting dishes. Excelent customer service.
