This truck saved my life!!! As I took a bite of my friend's banh mi from Nom Nom, my tongue was on FIRE. Why did they put so many jalapenos? I'm DYING HERE. I looked around and saw this truck, and ran towards it when I saw that they were giving free samples. I asked for a sample of mango. Not only did this little cup save my burning tongue, but it also tasted AMAZING. And once I bit into their little chunks of mango, my eyes lit up in surprise, and I told my friends we had to go back. Tango Mango's Ice comes in two different sizes: Shorty (9oz) -- $4 Tall (12oz) -- $6 You can't go wrong with fresh fruit puree, pure cane sugar, and whole fruit chunks! Plus it's low in fat and has no dairy my lactose-intolerant friends! My personal favorites are: mango and passion fruit. If you still don't believe me, try the free samples. They even combine two flavors in a single serving if you want. If you're not hooked by then.. well. OH, and their cups are so freaking cute. I made the same expression when I first tried it :P read more

Tango Mango Ice Truck - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me

I love Italian Ice! It's one of my all time favorite sweet treats! It's the perfect treat on hot summer days! The Tango Mango trucks sells some amazing Italian Ice. They have two sizes too choose from which are priced at $4 & $6 apiece. They're menu is small but all flavors are delicious (they let me sample them all). I love the fact that they put small pieces of fruit in their fruit flavors. Watermelon and Pineapple were my favorite. I got a few big chunks of hard ice in my cup but other than that I have no complaints. I LOVE LOVE the cute cups they serve their ice in. And they accept credit cards, which is awesome. I love Italian Ice! I love the Tango Mango truck! You will too! read more

Tango Mango Ice Truck - Large Pineapple & Watermelon Ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me

"Dad...dad..this tastes like chocolate cake" "Remember that drink we got in Hawaii without the adult stuff in it? This is what this tastes like." Once again this is the first impression from my 10 year old daughter who is my sous chef, budding food truck groupie and future yelper of all things edible after initial bites of her Italian ice at the Valley Food Truck Festival. If they offer you a sample, and they will, don't accept. I've heard stories of what people will do once hooked on crack and this was getting into that territory. The flavors are amazing, the textures are perfect and they give you just enough to want more. If they were ever parked in a school zone, they would get extra time. We went with the chocolate chip in the shorty (9 oz - $4) and a mixture of the pineapple and coconut cream in the tall (12 oz - $6). The chocolate chip has enough richness that it's not too sweet or will require you reaching for insulin. There are the right amount of chocolate chips to add to the flavor without making it overly crunchy. The coconut has the smallest shreds of coconut while the pineapple has...anyone? ...anyone?...small chunks of pineapple and together taste like a virgin Pina Colada. The service was amazingly friendly and this is easily one of the top trucks I've tried. read more

What hits the spot right after a Hot and Spicy dish from the Singaporean truck down the way?? Why Tropical Italian Ices of course. If this was a typical HOT Valley day, the line would have stretched halfway to Pacoima, but because it was a frigid mid-winterlike 63 degrees, there were no lines at all. Which let me walk right up and order the "shorty" the smaller ($4.00) of the 2 sizes. The friendly guy at the counter took my order and a minute or so later, I had a delicious, sweet, smooth, frozen, pineapple and coconut Italian Ice. Even the prensentation was adorable, yellow on the bottom, white on the top, and then one more dollop of pineapple which not only made the look, but also let me have a sneak preview of what awaited beneath. Elegantly simple. "Gourmet Food Truck #48 on my never-ending quest to try every truck in So Cal" . read more

Like Jenn, I also tried this truck in Marina Del Rey yesterday. Their free samples sucked me in, not only because it was bloody hot out, but because I needed something cold and refreshing. We ordered the watermelon and it was so great!! There were actual chunks of watermelon in it, which was an awesome surprise. The workers couldn't have been friendlier too!! Thanks, Tango Mango, for cooling me down in that heat!! Sizes- Shorty = $4 Tall = $6 read more

Tango Mango Ice Truck - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me

What an amazing food truck find! My husband and I are Italian Ice addicts and we have only found great Italian Ices in New York. We have tried all types of "Hawaiian ices" and "Italian ices" in California. NOTHING has remotely come close to New York Italian ices until now. Thank goodness for the existence of Tango Mango truck in Los Angeles. Their Chocolate chip, Kiwi Strawberry, and the Banana flavors were all super delicious with the perfect, almost creamy Italian ice texture. I would have tried more flavors for all you Yelpers, but I was getting a little embarrassed at asking for free samples (and, yes, we did buy a cup of frozen sweetness in the end). If you are fans of Italian Ices, Tango Mango is the truck for you. We are so very relieved now because we can find this dessert in L.A. read more

So cute and delicious! Was the perfect treat on a warm summer afternoon while I was at the LA Outdoor Cinema Food Fest (great activity btw, look it up!). I got the strawberry and mango. The mango chucks were sweet and fresh. Only reason this got a 4 instead of a 5 was the price and service. $4 for a small cup was a little much and the guy at the truck was rude. :/ read more

Tango Mango Ice Truck - :P - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me

Just had this at work today and it was pretty awesome! They have so many flavors and you can mix and match. I ended up getting the coconut and passion fruit. I would never have guessed the coconut had real coconut pieces. And the cups they came in filled me up! delish! read more

Such a yummy Italian Ice truck! Staff was really friendly and prompt, which I loved especially in such a long line. But what slows down the line a lot is people asking for samples. There are only like 5 basic flavors... So I'm not sure why there is a need for all the sampling. Whatever. Small is 4oz and $4, large is 6oz and $6. However I recommend everyone get the small! 4oz is actually a lot, and my friends and I couldn't even finish ours. It's more than enough! I got the mango which was really good, and tried the strawberry lemonade which was delicious as well. Perfect for a hot day! read more

The family and I shared the chocolate chip and kiwi strawberry Italian ice treats at the IE Food Truck Festival. Two words, refreshing and cool. We enjoyed these treats because they were not sweet and they cooled us down during this hot event. If you can find this truck around town, I highly recommend it for a cool treat. read more

Tango Mango Ice Truck - a woman standing in front of it - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me

After frozen yogurt, gourmet cupcakes, fancy macarons, and croissant-doughnut hybrids, it looks like Italian ice is getting its limelight in the LA dessert scene! We happened upon the Tango Mango truck (with its adorable little mascot logo) at the JACCC in Little Tokyo and just had to stop by. The guy working the truck was very generous with handing out samples to the many indecisive patrons standing around the window. The mango one was fun but I knew it would get overwhelming if I ordered a whole portion. And MM tried the cherry but it was too sweet for me (although if you like cherry icees from 7-Eleven, this was made for you!). I decided to keep it simple with the lemon flavor. It was clean, refreshing, and reminded me of those frozen lemonade cups you could get at theme parks in the summertime. And for only $4 for the small size, you get a cup that's piled high with the slushy stuff, more than enough to satisfy one person's sweet tooth. (And you can even mix flavors!) read more

Saved this truck for last because... Wait for it... Its Dessert duh?! :p But seriously, I did have to save this for last as anyone who is lactose intolerant will tell ou after eating this, the "countdown" has begun.. After an afternoon of trying the different fares from various food trucks in the festival, what better way to end it, but with a bang! (no pun intended) I had the Mango, which I suspect is their sig flavor, It is named Tango Mango right?! If it isn't it should be! Very tasty, with jsut the right amount of tangy.. The best part is, it is very light.. I love me some really creamy and heavy ice cream, but after the meal/S we had with the other trucks at the festival, this light, dare i even say refreshing treat is jsut what the doc ordered. The perfect ending to a great adventure! read more

That's NOT a spicy meatball! Nope, it's nothing even remotely close. But this mobile food truck can help in the event that you did just swallow down a spicy meatball. I mean, what else goes perfect to spicy food than shoving a lot of Italian ice down your throat? But yes, the Tango Mango Ice Truck is going to be really popular come summer time. So you better get your fist pumping in the air done and over with now, cause this sucker is going to make you happy. Yup, when you're out there getting your tan on, and if you happen to see the Tango Mango truck by - You know what time it is, it's time to get your drink on. I went with the Mango, because it must have been more than just something that rhymed with Tango that it got on the name of the truck. They come in Shorty and Tally and you're looking at around 2 bucks difference in price. It just depends on how bad you want to suffer a brain freeze. But over all, these are very delicious. I mean, it's really refreshingly cool and it's overflowing. I mean, they really top you off on this one. This is going to be big during summer.. or, well, whenever it's not raining here. But yeah, meet tango mango and be familiar with it, it's going to be much talked about in the truck food scene because it's so good. read more

As my first experience with Italian ice I feel like I'm now a little spoiled. The guy inside the truck overheard Ted and I discussion which flavor we should get (I wanted coconut but Ted doesn't like coconut) and so he waved us over and had us try a few flavors. The coconut creme was as good as anything I had ever had. I couldn't believe how smooth the ice was. It just instantly melted in our mouths. And the flavors were spot on. Crazy delicious! After a few taste testers from the super friendly and pleasant guy we settled on the mango ice. $4 for a shorty and went our merry way. As we were walking we kept 'oohing' and 'ahhing' at how incredibly awesome this ice was. The mango was great on flavor, as finely shaved as ice can be, and, if you can believe it, full of actual mango chunks!!! It was one of the most refreshing desserts I have ever enjoyed. I can't wait to try all of their other flavors! read more

OMG, the mango flavored Italian ice was SOOO good and refreshing!! There were chunks of mango in it that made it extra yummy. I don't know if I can ever have a regular Icee or Slurpee again... read more

Hands down the best Italian ice I have ever had! Caught this truck at the Renegade Craft Fair yesterday and boy, did their Strawberry Kiwi ever hit the spot! Not too sweet, made just right I think this is my favorite new truck! I thought the $6 price tag was steep but heck they got a litlle piece of heaven in your mouth so that's okay. Can't wait till I meet them again! read more

THIS TRUCK IS AN AMAZING GILDED UNICORN!!!!! It stumbled into my world a week ago, and I tried it on a whim, it was AMAZING! I literally have been thinking about this truck EVERY day since I found it and desperately hoping I see it again!!! The italian ice was the most delicious thing ever. It was light, refreshing, not too sugary, and may have been crafted from rainbows. After buying my ice, I literally told about 10 coworkers how good it was, because it completely consumed my every thought from the minute I tasted it!!!! I now sit around and wait and hope that I find this truck again, it's the most golden of golden phoenixes, the rarest of rare unicorns! I shall eat sub-par treats until it returns to 31st and Ocean Park, and until that time, I can only tell tales of how glorious it was, and hope that it somehow appears again. TANGO MANGO TANGO MANGO PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Delightful, fresh, fruity and sweet all in one adorable cup.

These guys used to come every month to Westchester First Fridays and they haven't in a while and my husband was actually whining about how much he misses them. Easily the best italian ice ever. Great consistency, chunks of fruit or coconut of chocolate. Very clean flavor. You can get two flavors in the same caup...Our favorite combination is coconut and mango... It is a family run business which is always nice. read more

I tried a combination of the mango and the strawberyy lemonade Italian ice here. The flavors were really good, and I especially liked how the mango ice had little chunks of real mango in it. I was worried the strawberry lemonade one was going to taste like one of those frozen minute maid lemonades, but it was much better. Unfortunately the consistency of this Italian ice is not quite what real Italian ice should be like. It should be a little bit smoother and less icey. The texture on this was just a bit off compared to the Italian ice I've gotten used to from spending so much time in New York. I'd still come back though, especially if they have the lemon ice! read more

This is a summer staple. Stop reading and find this truck right now. I had a small (9 oz) passion fruit. There were 5 other flavors, it was quick and SUPER tasty. I will be tracking this truck all summer. read more

Amazing! I had my experience with this truck at the Valley Food Truck Festival. Only one guy was working, and he was very nice. I tried a sample of the pineapple italian ice to start out. Omg.. SO GOOD. No, really. It was love at first taste. I ended up getting a shorty of the strawberry lemonade, however. It was perfectly tart, and had some strawberry seeds mixed in it too. It was killer. This is the stuff that dreams are made of. Tango Mango.. I will hunt you down and eat you once more.. soon! read more

Took one bite and knew I was in love! This truck is worth driving all over town to find/follow! I got sucked in by that tasty little sample they shove out of their window, of any flavor of your choosing! Been to this truck a few times now and haven't found a flavor I DON'T like! The staff is always very friendly. read more

Surprising refreshing, authentic tasting and YUMMY! So I'm pretty skeptical on most ice creams b/c they usually taste like sugar and artificial flavors. Today, the Tango Mango Ice Cream Truck was here and well, my friend recommended I try it. Reluctantly, I did, and as soon as I had my first taste, my eye lit up! This is delicious!!! I had the mango flavor and the strawberry/kiwi one. It's like having authentic, delicious mango. You don't taste any artificial flavors (b/c there are NONE!), it melts on your tongue. I liked the chunky mango pieces too. The Kiwi Strawberry flavor was my favorite though. An unlikely candidate but it was fantastic. Their ice creams are light on sugar (taste wise) too. I really recommend you try it. So YUMMY!! read more

I love tango mango best ice ever! but please update your website and tweets!My bf and I drove almost 45 min away in traffic for you to get there an hour before you were supposibly going to close and you were shutting all your doors! Not cool really disappointed. I would suggest u get there right when they open because they'll most likely close 2 hours before there suppose too. read more

I went to a neighborhood yard sale over the weekend (7/14/12) and this truck was there selling Italian Ice's. They were offering free samples, I cannot remember all of the flavors, but I did sample the chocolate chip and liked it. My mother ended up ordering a small pineapple and it was pretty good. There were chunks of pineapple, I assume, inside. It was very refreshing. It didn't taste like syrup and ice, but an actual italian ice. read more

Tango Mango Ice Truck - Pineapple ice small size - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me

3.5 stars. Very good service. They let you try as many flavors as you want + you can combine a couple of flavors for no extra charge. I got the cherry & lemon combo and liked that the cherry had real chunks in it. $4 for a small and $6 for a large. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't cold on the day I got it. read more

Yum Italian Ice! First saw these guys at First Friday in November. They serve Italian Ice in regular and large cups. Flavors include cherry, chocolate chip, coconut creme, kimi strawberry, lemon, mango, and pineapple. Now I had never seen chocolate ice, so I opted to give that a try. Then I realized - it said chocolate CHIP. I thought I was getting straight chocolate ice. First bite reveals that there are real chocolate chips in the ice! Terrific! My one concern is the pricing on this. It is $4 for a regular, and $6 for a large. Italian ice, for the portion that they serve, should not be this expensive. read more

One word: refreshing. My husband and I shared a passion fruit ice at the IE Food Fest, and I really needed something to cool off my mouth from some of the food at the other trucks. This was a real delight. Very smooth; rich fruit flavor and perfect consistency. I'm glad he picked it because sometimes water isn't enough. It was also a great palate-cleanser. Tango Mango is doing it right. Give them a try. read more

Art and his truck have really hit the nail on the head with this one. Considering how the weather is starting to heat up, if you find yourself in the vicinity of this truck, do yourself a favor and find this truck. Way more than italian ice, or your run-of-the-mill slushee, this Ice is the business for real. First, the ice is perfect. I mean I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's shaved so fine and packed like a snowball loaded with fruity flavor! If that wasn't enough, this ice has nice chunks of the actual fruit packed into it. And don't worry about it melting, cause if it does, you've got yourself a nice refreshing fruit cooler with bits of fruit right up in there. Fucking amazeballs. read more

Hands down the best Italian Ice I've ever had. My all time favorite was their strawberry lemonade although I'm sure all favors are yum. It's never too sweet and the small is just enough to satisfy. I also really enjoy the fun smiley face on the cup...it kind of makes it even more fun. read more

Tried this yummy truck for the first time at College of the Canyons Street Fair today. What a perfect treat for a hot day - and they are pretty smart to have been there (no other dessert trucks were present). Although I know what an Italian Ice is, I was expecting it to be more like a shaved ice. Not here! It was a beautiful ice with yummy chunks of fruit and a fresh, delicious taste! I had the peach, which was light and refreshing. My son had the mango, which was sweet and juicy with chunks of mango inside (not too firm and not at all mushy). My husband had the winner of the day with his coconut. It was sweet, rich and had beautiful pieces of fresh coconut inside. The large was a bit filling, so next time I'll go for a small. read more

I had a two hour conversation with the owner and operator of the Tango Mango truck--Art. I found him to be quite an intriguing human being with a great and giving spirit. He makes all his Ices from scratch in a warehouse in downtown LA using natural ingredients (raw sugar, actual fruit, filtered water). He moved from Philly, where Italian Ice is kind of a big deal, to risk the business venture of coming to LA. I loved all the flavors I tried (Passion Fruit, Coconut Creme, Chocolate Chip, Cherry) and watched as dozens of people came up to the truck to discover the delight I had found while wandering the street across from the LACMA. The flavors are great, the man is great, what's there left to think about? read more

ohmygoodness...... Tango Mango is the most refreshing dessert I have had thus far. There is no artificial sugar after-taste and it is not overly sweet! IT IS ABSOLUTELY REFRESHING! Hunt this truck down and get some delicious shaved ice! Kiwi strawberry is very good! read more

This stuff is the bomb. You can't go wrong with anything. Take it from an Italian and give it a shot. You certainly won't be disappointed.

I found this truck at the Latitude 33 Marina Del Rey Food Truck Festival yesterday and was surprised that no one has reviewed it before. I know they've only been around since early August (according to their twitter feed) but they deserve some recognition for some amazing Italian ice! The people were very friendly and they gave out free samples of each of their flavors. I think there were about 5 or 6 (mango, kiwi strawberry, watermelon, etc.). Try their samples but beware because it will make you coming back for more. Nom! Prices were okay and on a warm day this is the truck you will be running for. It's sweet and refreshing. Thanks Mango Tango Ice. read more

Ran into them outside of LACMA today and totally fell in love! I got the watermelon one and it was refreshing with the perfect sweetness. I love how it came with those watermelon chunks like little surprises in each bite! read more

This truck's italian ice was soooooooooooooooooooo so good. We tried some samples of the strawberry lemonade flavor during First Friday at Venice, but only one of us got some since it was night time so it was getting chilly. .... 5 minutes later the rest of us decided we actually wanted some. BUT THE STRAWBERRY LEMONADE SOLD OUT. Boooooooooooooo ): Instead I got black cherry, which was still delicious. The best part is they have real fruit chunks in it! So worth the numbing pain in my hands and rabid shivering I went through while eating the whole thing. I bet this would be absolutely amazing on a hot day. read more
