From the beginning to the end, Mangu Delight has been amazing! From the initial request of their menu, pricing, and even being on top of what we ordered the closer we got to the big wedding day. Their customer service was by far the most professional and easiest to connect with them to accomplish the end goal which to have amazing food to serve our family and friends at our wedding. EVERYBODY there were amazed on how great their food tasted that they finished it all before they finished the Vietnamese side of the family food! I will definitely and would love to work with Mangu Delight again and again! I wish them all the best and all luck for years to come. read more

Food was delicious! My staff enjoyed the pernil, moro & sweet plantains. Hector the owner & chef ..delivered the food ..spoke so graciously about his business & family. I kept on passing the information to everyone who asked where I got the food from. Would order from them again!! Wish I took pics of the smiling faces read more

Oh man! The best Dominican food in the area. I miss having them right down the street in their food truck but I still love that they can cater for small parties. The food is always spot on, seasoning, texture, smells always top notch. I've been eating their food since I moved to Silver spring now for 3 years. Customer service is amazing and I always have to get their empanadas(with the sauce!) and the drinks. Seriously everything they serve is awesome so if it's on their menu TRY IT!!! read more

We hired Mangu Delight for our daughter's graduation party. The food was delicious and authentic and had many compliments from our guests. I gave it 4 stars only because the delivery cut it very close to party start time which really stressed me out because I like being prepared, and it was very expensive compared to other catering quotes we got but we really wanted authentic Dominican since my husbands family is Dominican. But I would use them again. Hector and his wife are very nice and really want to make sure the food was enough and delicious. The cake was beautiful and the flan was out of this world delicious. Update to response to Mangu Delight: this should have been discussed privately but since you put it publicly, I will say my opinion I omitted in my public review. I think setup and unboxing should be part of your fee as there is an 8 percent service fee and the price is so much higher than other catering services I inquired.. As for the complimentary ensalada rusa, it was nice however, I was not told and we had already asked two Tias to make it so we had an absurd amount of it. In previous emails, I wanted to add it he ensalada rusa but it jumped the quote up so much we decided to ask family. read more

If you can find three nicer people in the world who work together I'd be impressed. Super hard working and smiling and friendly the whole time. Also...the food is pretty dang good too. We tried several of the empanadas and they were through the roof tasty (make sure to keep them flat in the bag though or all the good stuff goes to one side). I was completely shocked by the peperoni and cheese empanada. Whoa!!! We also tried the Chimi burger which was a bit over handled/cooked but the sauce and fixings that came with it were both good. I may ask for it to be cooked just a little less than normal next time. Also...you should probably call ahead with your order so that you don't end up waiting too long at the gas station. The regulars seemed to all know this trick...and now you know too. Enjoy! read more

I cannot remember how I heard about this place...wait a minute, I remember now - it was through Patrick Herron's MoCo IG post - he had posted 4 pictures of their food back in September 2020 and I instantly saved it and shared it with a friend of mine. Today, I wanted to get something (gathering with a few folks) and thought of this place. It is located right off of New Hampshire Avenue before the ICC exit (in the gas station) - look for a Food Truck. I pulled in and parked. Noticed that there were a few benches available for folks to sit on (good to know). The menu was on the outside of the truck, but there were no prices listed - I still ordered anyways. You could choose from: CHMI -- Beef, Chicken or Dominican Burger. Carnes (Meat) - Stewed Chicken, BBQ Pork Ribs, Grilled Chicken or Fried Chicken. Arroz (Rice) - Rice w/Beans, White Rice, Stewed Beans or Yellow Plantain. Empanadas - Chicken, Beef, Ham and Cheese, Pork and Cheese or just Cheese. Fritura (Fried Food) - Tostones, Longaniza, Salami, Chicharron, Fried Chicken or Yuca. Jugos / Frescos (Juices? - I only know a little Spanish) - Lime, Guava, Lime with Melon or Papaya. There is a little wooden step by the truck and you can step on it and the Owner will show you what he has available. On this visit, I decided to order some Rice and Beans, Stewed Chicken, Yuca (at his suggestion) and a Guava drink. I also ordered 3 Empanadas - 1 beef and 2 chicken. When I was able to eat this food, it was so good and so delicious (perfect temperature). I did not realize the Empanadas were huge until I got home - got some sauces to go with it. I have only tried the beef empanada - it did not last long as I devoured it. I am looking forward to trying some more items on a future visit. If you have not tried this spot out as yet, you should...whenever you get a chance. To add, it is helpful if you have Venmo or the Cash App to pay for your meal, but if you do not, you can pay either cash or a credit card. read more

I ordered food for a party for my husband and it was great. Everyone went back for at least seconds and complimented the rice, the chicken which was so tender, and chicken empanadas. The tres leches cake was really beautiful and tasted great too. They came and set up about an hour before the party so that took all the stress off of me. I would highly recommend if you need catering that everyone enjoys and an easy experience. I thought everyone was very nice and pleasant too. It felt good to support a local business. read more

Discovery of Dominican home cookin' close by us? Score! To our "Delight" we've found this amazing spot. My husband Luis is half Dominican and with family in another state and back on the island, we treasure finding Dominican food near us. Good Dominican food at that! We've ordered via Uber Eats and also picked up at the truck location. Everything here is delicious and authentic like you would find in someone's kitchen on the island. We've tried several items, all delicious and the standouts were the empanadas (with that special sauce!), pollo guisado, bacalao, beef ribs, white rice and beans (the beans are so flavorful!), and the morirsoñando! Honestly, everything here is bussin'! I'm sure it'll get to the point we've tried almost everything on their menu. Highly recommend! Thankful we found Mangú Delight! read more

Yes...yes yes, this is the spot! Mr. Mangu Delight knows chiccharron. Two orders of unchidness, crispy, fatty goodness. One I'll freeze for later...NOT. i also bought two patties, that means I'll have to do a double workout...one was demolished. Take the wheel, 2 side orders of chiccharron, 2 beef patties & an order of bread pudding...smh. Do I need to have an i intervention? It was all homemade, hot & seasoned with Dominican love. Ooh wee... read more

The shrimp empanada was the highlight of my Mangú Delight experience. I also had the classic combo -pollo guisado y morro con maduros. Everything was fresh and on point! The juices are excellent. You can tell they really love what they do and they keep getting better. This food truck can easily become a weekly habit, because a couple days later... i had a beef chimi lol read more

Higuey, Santo Domingo, all of the Dominican stand up! This food truck is serving scrumptious food! It's almost like I was transported back to the island. This is a type of spot a local would send you to in the DR. Customer service was attentive. I ordered the Pollo Guisado Combo Plate and a chicken empanada. The chicken empanada was flavorful and a good size. The chicken combo plate comes with the Dominican specialty stewed chicken, rice, beans and plantains. The portion size was plentiful. The stewed chicken was moist and tender. Rice and beans were good! I wolfed it all down. The plantains were the homemade chopped in the back ones. Excellent. Excellent. Excellente. What are you waiting on? Treat yourself! read more

I was so excited when Mangú Delight popped up on my UberEats app. ¿Quequeeeeé? A Dominican joint so close? Got to give it a try! To my disappointment, I saw no actual Mangú on the menu. I would love some with a little of the salsita del pollo guisado por encima...yum yum! Anyway...I ordered their frituras for 2, and they were great!!! I can feed four out of that tray, so it's a great deal. The tostones were on point and well seasoned, and the longaniza and salami were very tasty. I added the queso and it went fast. I also ordered the pollo empanadas and they were generously stuffed, well seasoned, and arrive crispy. Those thermal bags made all the difference! I will definitely order again, or stop by when the weather is nicer. Maybe they'll have some morir soñando... read more

The food at this food truck is fantastic and very authentic!! I have been here a few times and I keep going back for more. I highly recommend it. The food is very affordable and during Covid, I have witnessed them wearing masks and gloves while cooking and serving food. I am in love with the empanadas, chimi's, and don't get me started with the morir soñando. Oh, let's not forget about their combined plates. Yum! Nothing but delicious food. Must visit and I cannot wait to go back. read more

My family and I ate this last night for dinner for the first time and all I have to say is "Wow" absolutely amazing and delicious. I ordered something simple "Chicken stew with rice and beans and plantains" Even though they forgot my beans, totally okay because the flavors and everything was perfect. My husband ordered the "Ribs with rice and beans and plantains" his meal actually came with the beans and good thing because I got to try it. I can't wait for them to come back again and try other dishes. I took a photo but after we were done read more

How did I just find this food truck?!?!? The food was sooooo good! It's nice to have a quick and tasty Dominican option in the area. The owner and his son were really helpful and had great attitudes. I wish they were open at least an hour later so that I could make it after work and my husband is vegetarian so he was hoping for some veggie options, but no luck. I will definitely update when I taste the pasteles! read more

Delicious Dominican food. We tried the pollo guisado platter, oxtail platter and beef empanadas. They were terrific. Also tried the beef chimi - It was tasty but messy. The fresh juices that came with the platters were very refreshing. Friendly staff too. I'll be back! read more

Empanadas were purchased for my daughters graduation party. I heard compliments all evening about how delicious and awesome they were. The best they ever had. Truly recommend their food for any occasion!! And prices were very reasonable. There food truck has great options too right on New Hampshire Ave read more

I really love the regular food like the rice, beans and whatever protein but the honey mustard sauce is TERRIBLE. Maybe because I'm Dominican and I'm use to the standard mayo/ketchup combo but I really wish they gave customers a choice between the two sauces. I personally find that honey mustard is for specific tastes and I really did not appreciate it in my Chimi, it made the otherwise savory sandwich into an almost dessert like taste. Please add the mayo/ketchup at least as an option. read more

I don't have pictures bc the food didn't make it home!! Omg!!!!! I found my forever go-to Dominican food place!!! The chimi was thick and juicy and had a delicious sauce! The chivo (goat) and moro (rice and peas?) were absolutely out of this world! So tender and juicy and flavorful!!! I HIGHLY recommend them! Best of all, the customer service was like non other, all smiles and love! read more
