At El Mango Loko, the 'For the Culture' motto isn't just a slogan—it's the essence of their identity and what sets them apart. As a cultural ambassador, El Mango Loko goes beyond being just a food business, sharing the rich traditions and flavors of Mexico with each and every customer. This unique approach has not only been the cornerstone of their growth but also the driving force behind their exceptional service.
Their journey began seven years ago as a family-owned business in Spanish Harlem, founded by immigrant parents who established a CD shop called "La Sombra" in the late 90s. Deeply rooted in Mexican heritage, El Mango Loko is more than just a business venture—it's a heartfelt tribute to their cultural origins. Their mission is to bring Mexico's vibrant flavors and traditions to every customer, with a commitment to authenticity evident in every antojito they serve.
Celebrating Mexican culture, El Mango Loko offers signature drinks and food such as Mangoniada, aguas frescas, fresas con crema, elotes, and esquites. Their dedication to sustainability is evident in initiatives like encouraging customers to return glass jars, which are then traded for new ones in exchange for a house favorite Mangonada.
Looking to the future, El Mango Loko is committed to expanding their brand and business. They plan to venture into catering special events with their unique snacks and refreshments, aiming not only to ensure that every customer feels valued but also to continue sharing the traditions and flavors of Mexico with the world.
