Came in on a Monday night as we just pulled up into town after traveling for work and I needed Spanish Rice and carbs. After being seated the server gave us the menu and specials and the specials caught my eye as they had Fried Shrimp Tacos with a side of Spanish Rice. I didn't want to be too full so I thought it was going to be a good size. I was wrong their portions here are generous! 3 Tacos with 2 large shrimps inside and I couldn't finish the last one. ( I did take the shrimp and rice to go for a snack later) We also got guac and chips and it was nicely mashed, would def get again. Honestly will probably go before I leave the area. Hospitality and vibes were definitely there, you could see regulars come in and chatting it up with other diners and with the server. Really enjoy this interaction and this close nit community.

It's a fairly loud restaurant but it goes with the mood. Family friendly with the ability to seat large parties. The team that works here are personable and happy to be at your service. Our server tonight was no different. We were seated promptly (we did make reservations because we weren't sure how busy it might be and there were 7 of us) and our server took our drink order right away. Their margaritas are excellent - get the raspberry one (frozen) with sugar on the rim - you won't be sorry! I had the ground beef Chimichanga. It's served with cheese sauce over it with refried beans, guacamole, lettuce, sour cream, and rice on the side. It's slightly spicy but not too hot. A very filling meal. We stay in a neighboring town and come to Alpena for dinner once a month and Mango's is one we enjoy returning to.

Food was honestly a disappointment. I ordered a crunch wrap supreme and ADDED beans, guac, and…read moresteak. When I received my order they took everything out and ONLY put beans guac, steak. The only reason it's not a one star is because I also ordered a quesadilla that was decent but still missing beans and lettuce. Not only that I ordered it for asap pick up and it wasn't ready 30 min later

There are times where their tacos are soggy. I'm not sure what is happening when that happens but…read moreoutside of those times the food is really good. Staff is always helpful and polite. The inside is usually clean. Their delivery is through DoorDash, and I caution anyone reading this that if you want Taco Bell delivered, go through Door Dash's site/app, not Taco Bell's. Any kind of refund needed takes much longer going through TB's app.

A hidden gem in North Michigan!…read more I was visiting Alpena for a diving trip and was recommended this place. Specifically the Fire Burger and their Poutine. Our party was 6, they gave us "outdoor beers" and a pager. When a table opened up we sat down and I was immediately impressed. Our server was friendly and helpful, super sweet. She handled our accommodations (one of my friends had a lot of specific "requests" for his meal.) We got the poutine and mozzarella sticks for our appetizers... holy sh*t.... The poutine was INCREDIBLE. The mozzarella sticks were clearly house made. Just absolute perfection. I took the recommendations of my friend, and got the Fire Burger... insane. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Great beers. Great apps. Great burger. Just an all round great time. You owe it to yourself to try this spot.... And if you don't think so, you probably hate puppies and America.

My fiancée and I arrived at 8:30-ish on a Tuesday, a little worried because we were so close to the stated closing time of 9:00. We needn't have worried. Several large parties arrived after us and everyone got served and was welcomed with smiles all around. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I get the impression this is a family run business, and they act the part. Our food was delicious and authentic. I ordered two tacos al pastor, my fiancee got the steak and the ground beef, and all was delicious. We split side orders of rice and beans, and glad we did, because the portions were too much for one person. The dining room is not fancy, but clean, casual, and comfortable. I'll be returning to the area from time to time in the future, and El Zarape will be one of my go to dining options when I'm here. Best success to the owners, they have a good thing going.
