Mondo: Reviews & Ratings
Great for a sit down meal, shrimp po boy with fries. I definitely recommend checking this place out.
The food was pretty good. I had the shrimp creole. But the service was off the hook!!! Everyone was so kind and friendly. My servers name was Johnny I believe. He was very helpful and genuine. To be honest, Johnny has the potential to do anything he wants in life and totally succeed. What a people person!! Smiles, good eye contact. It was a comfortable atmosphere for an airport restaurant as well.
Our flight was delayed by several hours. This place saved us! We had the amazing pizza! It was crispy and so cheesy and yummy and really piping hot! I loved it! I ate the whole thing! I think this place closed at 5 but we got so lucky they seated us, and it was after 6! Our waitress was so nice too.
What?! The Shrimp Po'boy was absolutely stellar. For airport food, I was not expected the food to hit so hard. Absolutely outstanding was the Cochon de Lait. Where has this pork been all my life?! Drinks on point and perfect place to wait out a 4 hr takeoff. Do not be hesitant with the low reviews, don't understand the hate, because food, service, drinks, and people watching we're all amazing and better than expected.
We arrived at the airport at 5:40 for our 6:50pm flight. We knew we were going to have dinner in the airport. However, by the time we arrived, every restaurant and snack place, we were familiar with, was closed or closing down. So “Mondo” was the only place to go. We arrived and the line was super long. The host was very kind and very patient. The restaurant is not very big, so when he said the wait was 25-30 minutes, we weren’t surprised. Additionally, our flight was delayed 2 hours. So we waited. It was only about 10min before we were called. Not long after being seated we were welcomed and asked for our drink order. Our server, Sweetie, was amazing. She was attentive and she took our orders without having to write it down! We both ordered pizzas, everyone around us was eating pizza and it looked so good, we had to order too, lol Not too long after, maybe 20min, our pizzas came out fresh, hot and perfectly made! Sweetie filled our order to the letter! Our glasses were never empty, she kept up with all of the tables in our area. When looking up the restaurant, the site showed that they close at 5 also. We were there on Sunday until 7:15pm and everyone was still hard at work! Thank you Mondo’s for taking care of all us that needed a meal All in all, a great experience while waiting for a super delayed flight...
Perfect place to grab a snack on a long layover... This place had just opened, there was a line but it moved decent. Salads and pizzas were good ...
Have eaten here a few times while waiting for my flight. Unpopular opinion but food and staff were great! I had the Chicken Caesar, which was super flavorful and fresh. The krewe here has always been super nice & efficient and the place is clean. Not a bad option at all while at MSY.
Can’t remember names but these folks went above the call for me. I missed breakfast by ONE minute while placing my order yet the serve made sure I got my breakfast even though they had to go and cook some grits just for me! The the power went out and they lost my check in the system. Waiter told me don’t even worry about it. No sir! Flight was boarding so I paid cash and told him to take care of it and what was left was all for him! Great people in that place. Bunch of Karen’s leaving bad reviews for this place that’s actually really good. I wanted to try the pimento cheese so bad but I was crazy full! Patrick Webb Owner @ Mr frostys Denton,TX
