    Last year, my husband and I came here for the first time and reviewed it with one and said, "not coming back". We have families that visited from LA who lived in Guam for a long time and was craving for empanadas. Hoping the menu has improved, we decided to give this place a "chance" for them to give a feedback as well. Overall, we all agreed that the foods were, again, disappointing! 1-5 rating (1 extremely dissatisfied-5 extremely satisfied): Empanada 1 (have you ever tried a cardboard? Rib plate 2 (ribs were dry) Mixed plate (chose beef teriyaki, as recommended by the cashier-too salty you don't need the side finadene. Chamorro chicken was slices of chicken that, according to the cashier, was marinated in soy sauce and vinegar; macaroni had a little taste this time Latiyas 4 service was friendly, although he seems like he was training, he did a great job Perhaps 3rd is a charm? No thanks! Still not worth the price

    How cool that there's a restaurant here that serves Chamorro food! We got the chicken kelaguen that came with red rice and potato salad. Ribs plate though I would've liked if it came with a side cucumber salad that was missing, it was still delicious. Hubby and I both loved the empanadas! So happy to get my Guam good fix!

    Thursday, 3-12-2026: I met up here with a dear friend. We both wanted to try the food here since my friend is Guamanian. The owner Lou welcomed us in. The eatery is small & clean and exuded island vibes. They also have merchandise for sale. They have a nice menu list comprised of a variety of Guamanian and Hawaiian fare. It was difficult to decide but I eventually chose the Chicken Teriyaki small plate & my friend ordered the Chamorro Chicken small plate. It wasn't long before our meals were ready. We both enjoyed our meals. The chicken was tender & so flavorful. I loved my macaroni salad & she loved her red rice & potato salad. The owners, who are sisters were so friendly & engaging. Lou runs the counter while her sister Maria cooks all the marvelous meals. We look forward to returning. I will try the Guamanian food next time! Thanks to my sweet friend for treating me today!

    I'm very happy to have another option for Hawaiian comfort food here in Temecula. I came for the Lau Lau and Kailua pork and cabbage. It was pretty good! Their combo meal includes both, plus rice and Mac salad (I asked for potato salad instead). The Lau Lau is from Hawaii, steamed up and delicious! The Kailua pork is their own, made fresh by the owner. Mannge's menu is a fusion of Hawaiian and Guam flavors. Both menus describe mouth watering combo plates. I will definitely be back to try the Guam side of the menu! There are several tables for onsite dining, best for a small group of 2-4 people. They display and sell island inspired jewelry, bags, snacks and a few clothing items. You will find Hawaiian Sun and Deric's (Red Pine Cafe) homemade Kim Chee and pickled cucumbers in the refrigerator. Tip: post a review on google or yelp and get a free drink or side with your next meal. This is a very friendly family owned business. Be sure to check them out!

    I'm always on the hunt for Guam grub! Mannge Town Cafe was not on my radar, but one of my friends told me about this spot as I was in Temecula for a wedding! As it was our first time here and we were hungry, we ordered the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage and Chamorro Fiesta Plate to share. Both were generous portions and we happily divulged! The Chamorro Fiesta plate inlcuded ribs, chicken, red rice and potato salad. The Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage inlcuded rice and mac salad. Were they the best renditions of those dishes? Not necessarily, but good enough for me! I would definitely come back here to get some island grub while in Temecula!

    Ribs and chicken, rice and potato salad

    I have fond memories of my other mom's Guamanian dishes, and have learned from her how to make many of them like kelaguen, red rice and fina denne. So when I saw a post about this new eatery I knew I had to try it out. The location is small, but it does the trick. I was greeted immediately from the ladies in the kitchen...felt welcoming, like going into someone's home. The menu has great options, for Guamanian and Island food. Ordered a couple of meat plates, one with galbi beef ribs, with sides of red rice and mac salad. The other was pork ribs, with island chicken , red rice and potato salad. All were delicious, the meats were perfect, sides were too. I wish the denne was a little spicier, or at least had that as an option. Will definitely be back for those platters!!!

    This place serves food from Guam which I haven't tried, they also have Hawaiian as well. I came here after staying at the casino nearby and wanted to try a new place. I wanted to try their Kelaguen bowl ($16.99) which consists of chopped cooked chicken with strong lemon forward flavor. It came with red rice and potato salad. The Kelaguen was very lemony which I liked and the sides were a bit bland. The staff was nice and the place was clean.

    Mix Plate - 3 Choice

    First time here. Friendly atmosphere. A good amount of seats. There was jewelry for sale. They also had some snack items to purchase. 3 choice combo we got was garlic chicken, beef teri, and coconut shrimp. Flavoring was good on the plate. Mac Salad was a little dry but it's fine. Lau Lau plate was the same, I didn't find any fish in mine but there was a lot of leaves in mine. Pork was dry, maybe cause there I couldn't find the fish. Flavor was still good. Just needed to add a little sea salt. I wish the plates already came with red rice though. Other than that, it is a good place, would come back to try other things.

    I haven't had Chamorro food in quite some time, and there was a restaurant in San Diego that I used to really enjoy, so when this location appeared on my Yelp feed, I was excited to try it. I ordered a small beef plate with macaroni salad and red rice. There is a $1.50 upcharge for the red rice, and I believe customers should have the option to choose between white or red rice without an additional charge. I paid $20 for a small plate, which didn't include much food. Unfortunately, the beef was not tender, and the marinade and seasoning were not very noticeable. I was hoping to enjoy this meal more, but it fell short of expectations. However, I am open to giving this restaurant another try, as I understand that restaurants can have off days.

    I called in a mixed plate order and had a great experience with the staff -- everyone was very friendly, and my order was ready on time. The food tasted good, but I was disappointed by the portion size of the chicken and beef. For over $20, I expected a much more generous serving, especially for a mixed plate. Overall, solid service and good flavor, but the value didn't quite match the price for me. I'd consider returning if the portion sizes improved.

    Mannge Town Cafe is a hidden gem offering authentic island eats from Chamorro and Hawaiian cuisine. We stopped by after hearing about this place through a coworker who missed food from home. I ordered the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork & Cabbage, and it hit the spot 4.5/5. The kalua pork and cabbage reminded me of my father's cooking. I wished the Lau Lau was bigger, but the owner said it's sourced from Hawaii so it makes sense store-bought ones always leave you wanting for more. My partner ordered the chicken kelaguen and it's my first time having it. It reminded me of tuna salad but with chicken meat instead. A pricier plate lunch place ($20+) but that's because a lot of the ingredients are sourced out of state. Would definitely like to come back if I have island cravings!

    Tried out this spot since it's gotten some buzz. I'm so happy we are getting some small owned businesses in the area, I'm so over the fast food chains. I feel like this spot gave me home/family vibes. Like a close aunt/uncle cooked me a special meal. I enjoyed it so very much. The Staff was super friendly and the shop was nice and clean. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. Please support these businesses!

    Nice lady at the counter taking orders and patiently explaining the difference in styles, Chamorro vs Hawaiian. I had the garlic chicken. What an explosion in flavors! Tempered with the rice it was the perfect combination. This will be a regular stop for me in the future.

    My first time here and I recommended this place to my friends based on the Yelp reviews. They never…read morehad Guamanian food before so I was happy that they were willing to try it. There was four of us arriving about 1230 and one more a little later. We asked the young server for recommendations, but he didn't have any and he couldn't really explain the menu and options. We ordered the BBQ Mix, BBQ Chicken and BBQ Pork Ribs. Unfortunately it was all very dry, and the red rice was served at room temperature. Two of my friends barely touched their food and I was sorry that it wasn't a good experience for them. When our fifth person arrived, they recommended that she doesn't order and that we would find a place where they serve sandwiches and dessert. I took the leftover red rice and I'm hoping that when I warm it up, it will taste much better. It was as if the food was cooked the day before or maybe earlier in the day and just sitting there. I think it would've been a better experience if the food was cooked upon order. It came out really quick so I am assuming that it was cooked previously. I was disappointed that my friends did not like the food at all. I thought that it tasted OK, but it was just really dry and barely warm.

    We had the Fan Fave which included Chicken Kaleguen, Red Rice and cabbage. The Smackasubi was…read moredelicious and it was different because of the Red Rice. The Smack N Fried Chicken was delicious Nd the kids loved it. Super friendly staff and we love the depictions of their family heritage that you came read about. Spacious and cool interior with Island vibes and reggae music playing in the background. Why only now we discovered this place? We have tons of family from Guam and love island food. UPDATE: I guess we came just a week prior to their announcement of closing. We wish this family business much success in the future, and we hope they succeed in their future endeavors.

    I'm always so so happy to visit this restaurant! We were…read moregreeted & seated right away. I've always loved the Blue color of the walls and the island decorations throughout. We started off with the chicken kelaguen which had the perfect amount of flavor and tanginess with the red rice staple. I do wish I got more rice in the chicken to rice ratio, but it was good regardless. Shortly after we got our empanadas (the whole reason I wanted to go here). I had been craving them for weeks and it didn't disappoint. The filling was the delicious and the crust was perfectly crunchy. We then shared the Guam bomb which was a pretty decently sized plate. I appreciated how crunchy the fries were, especially since the amount of sauce on top could have easily made them soggy very quickly. I do wish there was a little more meat but it tasted yummy nonetheless. Our absolute favorite part of the meal was desert. The banana donuts! It came with 4 which was perfectly paired with strawberry ice cream. Overall, super duper happy with another visit to this amazing spot! Hopefully we'll catch them at PIFA San Diego this year

    It's been awhile since I've been here and once again this place was disappointing. The ribs were…read moregross. Tasted like it was boiled then fried after. It was too soft and didn't have texture like REAL Chamorro ribs. The empanada shell was so thick and not thin and crispy. Red rice, Mac salad, and Kelaguan was decent. Personally I'm not going back and I rather just make it at home or go to San Diego.
