Brightly colored tables, paper-cutout decorations and pictures of parrots overload the senses as you walk into Mango’s Mexican Cafe & Bakery, and that’s just a preview for what taste buds go through. The salsa is hot, the beans are rich and the enchiladas are topped with cool sour cream. Try the shrimp tacos, filled with lemon and pico de gallo, and the spicy red-chile pork tamale — items like these have earned the restaurant lots of regulars.
