Mango Ice Cream

The Menger Hotel's mango ice cream has been a menu staple for over 100 years. The hotel's signature ice cream was originally made from mango culled from mango trees in the hotel's courtyard. This iconic Menger Hotel menu item was served at both of President Clinton's inaugurations after President Clinton enjoyed the ice cream during a visit to San Antonio.
