This mango salsa recipe was inspired by literally the best taco I’ve ever had, and that was in Alaska, of all places.

I recently enjoyed exploring Alaska on a Princess cruise with my sister and some of my dearest friends. Before leaving, I envisioned a trip complete of snow, parkas and hot cocoa. Never in my life did I think I would have the best tacos. But friends, that’s precisely what happened.

I’m sharing this mango salsa recipe, inspired by the best halibut taco I’ve ever had while sailing in Alaska.

My sister Nicole and I decided to cruise in Alaska, and when we got to Juneau, we decided to take a seaplane adventure.

Hands down, the Pack Creek Bear Viewing was the best outdoor experience I’ve had. I live in Colorado and have traveled to some pretty amazing places, so this is a big deal. We saw nature at its best, including seeing a mama bear and two cubs. We were within 40 yards and even saw her nurse them! While bear viewing, we also saw a ton of eagles. I never knew eagles were so big, and their wingspan is enormous.

When we returned from our flight to the dock, I thought the day couldn’t get any better—that is, until I tasted the tacos.

Mango Salsa Ingredients

Friends, the best tacos I have ever had were at Deckhand Dave’s Wild Alaskan Fish Tacos food truck {Drooling}. With a fantastic slaw, pico, and tartar sauce, the combination alone has me wanting to jump on a plane.

While I haven’t nearly perfected the tacos, pico, or tartar sauce, this Mango Salsa recipe is pretty dang delicious.

  4. Looks like you had a great time. I will have to make this salsa soon. I think it would pair well with a chicken dish.

    I’m a sucker for mango – this salsa was so tasty. I just parked myself at the bar and munched on this and before I knew it, it was gone.
