The servers at Mango Bistro are inviting and friendly, well versed in their menu and always helpful. The food is fresh, some of the most tasteful gluten free food I have had. It's one of my go-to restaurants. I have been asked whether it is an allergy or sensitivity when ordering, which makes me feel good that the cooks are cognizant of cross contamination.
Mango Bistro was so good. I’m a sensitive celiac and I ordered a GF Turkey Club on a GF tortilla, minus arugula (just bec I hate arugula). It was delicious! I felt safe, comfortable and the staff was both accommodating and amazing. The hostess told me to order any of the cold sandwiches, but not the hot sandwiches, due to cc. The sandwich came with gf blue tortilla chips and a slice of fruit. I also ordered a red sangria. Very cute place that we would happily return to! Inside and outside dining.
We love Mango Bistro, the vibe is very laid-back & chill. Our daughters love the crepes & boba tea, while I get to order a GF lunch for me. I’m obsessed with the California Wrap! All the veggies (I ask to add red onion too) + homemade hummus & vegan pesto is DIVINE. And GF. Oh and their key lime pie is to die for & GF!! I never eat it because it’s never GF, but our server suggested we try it. It was superb and my husband who eats it all over FL says it’s the best too. The crust was perfect & just the right amount of tart & sweet. I’ve had zero issues eating here & I’m super sensitive.
Was told the bread and wraps actually are produced in a facility that processes regular gluten bread and the packages don’t say gluten free on them! I’m glad they eventually told me this tidbit of information after we were there looking at their “gluten free” menu for a half hour, but that’s only because I stressed a second time how severely allergic I am. If you have celiac you’re taking a risk! NOTE TO OWNER: If something is cross-contaminated with gluten, you should not advertise it as being gluten free! Get rid of the fake menu or stock products that are certified gluten free!
I ate here 3 times on our vacation to Englewood! So many gluten free options. The Baja shrimp wrap and the Norwegian wrap were both delicious. The staff was very knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. I am very sensitive and didn’t have a reaction to any of my meals.
My wife and I ate here on vacation and it was so good we went two days in a row and probably would've went a third time if they weren't closed on Sundays. I would recommend the egg and cheese sandwich with whatever topping you would want to add and also the tacos del gringo they were delicious. They had great coffee as well.
We always stop here when we come to Englewood. The food is always good and I feel like I have a lot of choices since they offer gluten free bread and wraps.
The staff was so rude, we left within a minute of walking in. People have no idea what customer service is anymore, it seemed like an intrusion that we even walked in. I didn’t even get a chance to check out the gluten free options but I wouldn’t return based on attitude/how rude two of the staff were just on entering.
My mother was glutened here. We were told that their “gluten free” sandwiches are cooked on the same grills as gluten items but “wrapped in foil”. Anyone with serious celiac should not eat here. When management was alerted they did not show any concern. The waitress was rude and didn’t make eye contact when we specified that my Mom MUST have gluten free items.
We stayed in Englewood for 5 days and we usually have to look very hard for Gluten Free menus to accommodate our diets- Mango Bistro immediately became our Southwest Florida favorite. The food was so fresh, interesting, and delightful! The wait staff (all of them- we went for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) were very careful to discuss ingredients or modify dishes to make them safe for us- so refreshing to enjoy food and not have to worry that your kid is going to get sick afterward. The Cubano sandwich was one of the best Cuban sandwiches we've had, and my wife loved the Thai chicken and the curried tuna.. If dairy is an issue for you- try the Coco Loco frozen drink- coconut milk, dark chocolate and banana..so delicious!! We'll be back for sure- kudos to Mango Bistro- this place will definitely explode and end up in Venice and Sarasota..people want this food and attention to service- they just don't know it yet! Enjoy! :)
This staff speaks gluten-free. I was able to have a GF breakfast wrap because the have both bread and large tortillas. I ordered it without cheese - no problem. Beautiful setting - I sat on the patio for my breakfast, and excellent service.
