Welcome to Lago!

"LAGO" is the Spanish word for "Lake". Located right off the lakefront of Lake Pontchartain, in Mandeville, LA, we are aptly named. We specialize in authentic Mexican dishes that use the freshest ingredient available. Menu items are made fresh daily, including our homemade salsa and guacamole.

Some of our favorite dishes include the Molcajete (pronounced Mol-cah-hay-tay), which is a bunch of grilled meats served in a traditional stone bowl. We're also known for a our seafood, quesadillas, authentic tacos, South of the Border entrees, & numerous Lunch & Dinner combination plates. There's a little something to satisfy everyone's tastes at Lago!

We're locally owned & operated by Jose Rangel and his family. The Rangels immigrated to the U.S. from Michoacan, one of the Southern-most Mexican states. Michoacan, in the native tongue, means "Place of Fishermen", and is well known throughout Mexico as an important producer of fishing & seafood. It is their love of the water and seafood that attracted Jose & his family to Southeast Louisiana.

We hope you will come to visit us soon. We look forward to serving you and your family!
