El Mango Manila (National City)

Thanks for stopping to look at mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog, today.  Cathy is writing again because the guys (Kirk and Ed(from Yuma)) are not having anything to do with blogging at this point in time.  

A few months ago, The Mister and I were in National City and did another random stop when we saw a very bright,  interesting bit of signage. IMG_5063_2According to the owners (all family), El Mango Manila has been open here since 2011. IMG_5047The menu is fairly extensive. Breakfasts here include molletes (my favorite) and there are tortas, sandwiches, green and fruit salads, juices, smoothies, licuados (milk based) and raspados (ices) and a variety of 'Crazy' menu items ('crazy' means cups of fresh corn topped with cheese, tostilocos, churrolocos, Takilocos and fruitilocos as well as a few other items).IMG_5048_2Recall that I said we were here a few months ago… IMG_5052Our order consisted of a medium Vampire juice (beets, carrots, celery and apple), small fruit salad of what was in season (strawberries, bananas, watermelon, green apple) topped with cottage cheese and granola with a side of honey and a mixed meat torta.  The total bill was $12.IMG_5059_2

The torta was served on very fresh toasted bread, spread with a spicy lime mayonnaise and had ham and turkey and a melted Mexican cheese as well as lettuce, tomato, pickles and avocado.  

This was a very tasty and fresh  meal for us.

I do enjoy finding new places as well as stopping at fruiterias.  Hope you are having a good weekend.
