The newest restaurant under Morrow Hospitality is preparing for its grand opening celebration during Essence Fest.
Spicy Mango, a Creole-Caribbean fusion restaurant on Frenchmen Street, is slated to open its doors to guests on July 5 with a celebration at 11 a.m.
Morrow Hospitality said the fifth Morrow restaurant "aims to blend the rich flavors of Caribbean cuisine with the vibrant culinary traditions of New Orleans."
Owner Larry Morrow appeared on The Breakfast Club, a nationally syndicated radio show, and shared that the new restaurant would have "Tulum vibes," referring to the Caribbean city in Mexico.
Morrow explained that this project has been in the works since 2023, as seen in an Instagram post showcasing the interior of the restaurant, which features a mango tree in the dining room and a fountain on the patio.

The menu at Spicy Mango will feature items such as a jerk burger, jerk mac and cheese, crawfish beignets with pineapple remoulade, and coconut-gulf shrimp with orange-chili-lime sauce.
In addition to serving food, Morrow Hospitality said it will also feature live music.
Morrow and his mother, Lenora Chong, opened their first restaurant, Morrow's, on St. Claude Avenue in 2018. The Morrow restaurant portfolio has since grown to include Morrow Steak, Monday Restaurant and Bar, Sun Chong and, now, Spicy Mango. Morrow Hospitality also owns Hide/Seek and Treehouse.
