I'm so glad I FINALLY tried this place today. I ordered through Uber Eats and got my food about 40…read moreminutes later. I ordered the chicken milanesa, a cheese empanada, and I got a side of sweet plantains. The price was pretty reasonable for such a large portion! I would definitely say two people could comfortably share these items. I personally liked the portions, as a Latina, because that's what I'm used to. The chicken dish came with rice and beans - I picked the white rice and regular beans. You could have picked from a few combinations. This dish came with a small side salad too. The flavors were authentic and I will definitely be ordered this again. The side of sweet plantains offers almost a full plantain in its portion size. I would definitely order this again. I will say, I like mine a bit crisper and these were pretty moist/mushy. Still delicious and really more of a point of preference! The cheese empanda had the dough I'm used to and was cooked perfectly! The cheese was some mix of yellow cheese and I prefer mozzarella in them. This is a point of preference also - if you like cheese empanadas, you'll be happy with this one. All in all - I'll be ordering again REALLY SOON!

Wow, this place was really good!…read more I met a friend for brunch in Ohio City, and the place we planned to go had a 45 minute wait, so we went for a walk and to see what else was open. Johnny Mango was open, and had plenty of tables at 10:30, but had filled up by the time we left. My friend sold me on the place as a Mexican restaurant, but it isn't that. The food is fresh and healthy, with creative options, and an intriguing juice bar! Because my friend had been there, I just duplicated her order - chicken and black bean quesadilla, with avocado. We got the Big Plate to try the sides. Wow. The quesadilla is stuffed, but not super cheesy, which until now, I didn't know was an option. The tortilla is cooked so that it crisps up, and looked too big to finish, but I was wrong. Sides today were Jasmine rice and the Happy Beans, which were cannelini beans today. They were so good! and a slaw that was great! I had coffee and a fizzy mango lime spritz juice that wasn't too sweet but tasted great. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their Big Plates - the chicken dishes look intriguing, and some of the apps looked pretty good too! They also have a rotating margarita section....

Johnny Mango is a fun neighborhood spot that really takes "World Cafe" seriously. When we came on a…read moreFriday night, it was quite busy and we had to wait to be seated. The menu is vast with a lot of vegetarian options. I would say the items are pretty hit or miss -- I ordered the pad Thai as it was one of the most popular items, but I found it to be pretty dry and bland. My friend ordered the jerk chicken and said it was delicious. My boyfriend got the burrito and said it was very plain and nothing to write home about. I would highly recommend asking the staff what their favorites are, since they are likely to steer you in the right direction. I like that they offer fresh-squeezed juices - they have a juicer at the counter that you can see them use in real time. However the juicer does look kind of dirty... Lastly, when we went, there were only two people in the kitchen and one waitress managing the entire restaurant, which made service a bit slow. Keep that in mind if you're in a time crunch!

I like more of the meat and less of the fat (other people like that). For dessert "Flan de Queso" is pretty good. Flan is like a custard but incorporates a caramel type sauce.

Last Friday night we visited Paloma for the first time. We made a reservation on Open Table (which…read moreworked well), hoping to land a table on the patio. Alas, when we arrived at 5:50pm (for our 6 pm reservation), the patio was full, and so, after some back-and-forth about wanting a table in the dining room and not a high-top at the bar, we were seated. The vibe was odd, perhaps because we were the only ones in the seating area but also because of the decor, layout, and furniture: not quite fancy, not quite charming. Rather than warmth and graciousness, I felt like we were imposing on the team by showing up for dinner. Undaunted, we pressed on. Shortly, we were greeted by a friendly team member who answered some questions. We eventually ordered the made-to-order guac and margaritas. The guac was the highlight of the evening. It was fresh, generous, and well-presented. The margaritas were also good. No complaints! Next, we placed our order: meat tacos for me, a burrito dish for my wife, and a shared order of the corn dish. The orders came in good time, all except for the corn. When we asked about it, the reply was "oh, so you'd like to add corn?" "No!" I said. "We'll just take the one we already ordered!!" During this light-hearted exchange, we were also promised an additional side of chips to go with the abundant guac. "Three minutes" was the reply. Never came. The entrees were universally too spicy. I love spicy food, but this level of spice obliterates what I think was a really lovely set of dishes. My wife and I both struggled to get through it because of the heat. Sadly, the team's stinginess with refilling water only added to the spice experience. The makeup corn order was promised "in three minutes" and did arrive in five or six. It's a lovely companion dish, even though timing caused an odd imbalance of food temps. When it was time to settle up, our team member told us she would package up the leftovers and would be back "in three minutes with the bill" because she was also tending the patio. By then, I asked, "is that three minutes or fifteen?!" She returned promptly; we paid the bill and headed to the VAD courtyard for live music. Bottom line: great location and intriguing concept. Something is amiss with the training and team support. As for the food, only the guac and margarita would draw me back.
