Mangoz On The Ave - Yakima

Overall was a lovely experience and the staff seems to go over the top to attempt to provide a good experience. I do think that the ambience is a stark, tables have little privacy and it's a bit noisy. We ordered the beet salad and roasted potato salad which were both excellent. I also ordered the new burger which was disappointing. At first it came out burnt but they quickly replaced it. The second was still cooked well-done and a bit dry, I was hoping to really taste the African seasonings but could not really taste them and with the aioli it seemed dry. We also ordered the fried chicken which was good, but I think pounded a bit thin so the crust to meat ration was off. I actually like the Hawaiian fried chicken he used to do better. The cocktail tasted great but was a touch small.

Food, ambiance and service were phenomenal as usual! E&E will never, ever disappoint you, unless of course you're a McD's kind of person. The food is absolutely superb. The cocktails have really improved to great category. Also, the staff is the best!

Our food and service was amazing! We really loved that the owners/servers chatted with us. Truly made it feel like such a personal dining experience. Will be back!

Never anything less than a wonderful meal there and I've been going as often as I can afford to since they first opened as The Lab. Retooling their concept and renaming themselves was an inspired idea. Not because they weren't fabulous to begin with—they were fabulous. But because they needed to reach the diners in Yakima who were ready for — no, make that crying out for — expertly prepared cuisine reflecting tasting notes from around the globe, in an elevated yet approachable dining experience, right in their own neighborhood. If you have not eaten here, and you like sampling small plates with varied flavor profiles, sipping imaginative cocktails, and enjoying good conversation with your fellow diners in a comfortable yet chic atmosphere — without breaking your wallet, you really cannot afford to skip this place.

Great service. Different brunch menu than any other place in town and the food is fantastic. Get the ropa vieja poutine, especially if you enjoy a little spice. Been for dinner as well and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and ambience
