Mango Loco - Ocracoke's Answer for Mexican FoodBe sure to head to "Mango Loco" if you are on Ocracoke Island and have a "hankering" for Mexican Food. Look for the Sign with the Sombraro!
Are you blue? Well, the building is (see below). Although the restaurant's color is here to stay (at least for a while), you can "Feast your Blues Away" by enjoying the great food just inside the doors... Welcome...
The counter just inside the door is bright and happy, and the friendly staff are eager to help make your dining experience a delightful one. Our waiter, Chris, was very helpful, and filled us in on all the sights and sounds that the Island had to offer.
Now what to start off with... I would definitely recommend the Tuna and Goat Cheese Empanadas. This unique combination of ingredients is joined by a bit of hot sauce to provide a delightfully "thought-provoking" experience for the taste buds. It's something you have to try to believe... Oh, you might like a beer or two to help wash this down, but this restaurant is fully licensed, and able to help you out in this regard as well.
For another unique combination of tastes, why not try the Caribbean Seafood Chowder. Flavorful and tasty, it get's your taste buds prepared for the main meal...only a few short minutes away...
For whatever reason, when I go to a Mexican Restaurant I gravitate to the "Two Beef Taco, Rice, and Refried Beans" meal. No need to change now. This combination, although a standard at most Mexican Restaurants, had that unique "Mango Loco" flare... The mounds of Sour Cream and Salsa added to this flare...
Enough talk... "Let's Eat"!
Our synopsis? This fine establishment has the best Mexican Food on the Island of Ocracoke. Traditional, in many respects, but with that little "something extra" Island flare... Remember... Mango Loco, Highway #12, Ocracoke, North Carolina. Phone: 928-2874
