Yes, it's touristy, but it's where you go after dinner when you're not ready to go home and want to be entertained or dance. As soon as you walk in, the senses are going off. There's an intense dynamic of action throughout this joint- upstairs and downstairs. There's professional performers on the center bar top. Walk to the back and there's another live performance complete with more dancers and singing with a dance floor at the stage. What's upstairs? There is DJ dancing - popular high energy music. The drinks are definitely expensive, but that is to be expected in South Beach. The only complaint is the bartenders I visited on the bottom floor to the left bar in the back and upstairs in the DJ room looked like they did not want to be there. Perhaps, this place is too wild for a continuous eight hour shift? Who knows. The jovial atmosphere in this place makes you forget quickly though. I think I stayed here until 2am dancing my ass off. I had a colorful evening and would definitely return! - maybe the dinner and show experience? read more

I was very disappointed with my experience at Mango's. First, there was a $20 entrance fee just to get in. Then, when I received my bill, there was an additional $0.25 'health insurance' charge. The amount isn't the issue--it's the principle. Costs like employee health insurance should be built into prices, not added as surprise fees. To make matters worse, when I asked about the charge, the server couldn't explain what it was or why it was being added, so I left with more questions than answers. Between the cover charge, unexpected fees, and lack of transparency, the whole experience felt like a tourist trap. Customers deserve clear pricing and straightforward explanations of any charges before they're added to the bill. read more

Been coming here since I was 19! I'm 39. I live in Philadelphia. I brought two friends with me because I've always loved it here. Never felt like the usual south beach restaurants . Name speaks volumes plus mangos has always been consistent. . But omg I'm officially done with Mangos. I understand times are hard but seriously ... server never mentioned a small drink was even an option. Asked if we wanted medium or large! I said medium because I know the large drinks are buckets of sugar . I just want a nice regular drink. Long story short ... $45 per drink . Big azz drinks filled with juice for $150! No where on the menu are these prices listed which is typical south beach behavior. I questioned this and got a "oh I'm sorry". I thought she was taking them back to give us regular size drink drinks. She took them back and brought them back said that she added lime juice so they aren't too sweet ! . IBill almost 400 for 3 drinks and 4 apps plus one entree (wings, calamari, fries , quesadillas ) I'm far from cheap and thrive on 5 star dining experiences but come on now. Not cool . Mind you the night before we were at pink steak in West Palm paid $300! food here was mediocre bar food and why would you take off the best dish on the menu ? What's a Caribbean restaurant without arroz con pollo ??? Replaced with a horrible chicken curry dish . So disappointed in the entire experience . Oh and valet never brought my change . Was going to let him keep it anyway but wasn't given the option. Felt feeling like I was robbed. This was literally the only touristy place on South Beach strip that I would ever go to besides 5 star spots like sexy fish or prime 112 . Not any more. read more

I expected the place to be a little more lively from other peoples recommendations but it was earlier in the day when we visited. Maybe the liveliness doesn't start until nighttime. They had a "live singer" in the front of the establishment that I clearly noticed was lip syncing and not live at all. Drinks were decent prices, happy hour special was buy one, get one free. We did have the option to mix and match drink selections for this special. However, drinks were just average. Nothing was necessarily "mind-blowing". read more

The sights, the sounds, the views, the colors, everything. Beautiful. Amazing. Felt like Carnival straight out of Rio de Janeiro, all packed into one building on Ocean Drive. Makes sense given the pedigree: Mango's has been doing exactly this since 1991, samba, salsa, conga lines, live singers and dancers taking over the stage, all under founder David Wallack's original vision of turning a stretch of Ocean Drive into a full-blown spectacle. They even serve their tropical cocktails in giant souvenir glasses, up to 45 ounces, because subtlety was never really the point here. The vibes were immaculate. If you didn't feel it, you could move elsewhere and go see how Stella got her groove back, because this place is not holding your hand. I was having an amazing birthday week trip, and this really added to it. We kept finding these amazing spots wherever we went, it felt like we couldn't miss the whole trip. read more

I'd seen Mango's on Tiktok because of the dancers, so it seemed like a fun spot to add to the trip itinerary and a way to introduce my friend to South Beach. We made a table reservation right by the stage, which was fun. We ordered the chips and guac as well as got three different cocktails; they are also souvenir glasses, which was fun! I thought the chips and guac were good, however, there was WAY too much guac for how many chips they give you. Also, asking for more chips was extra money. It also may be a South Beach thing, but they charged for water, which I don't see that often. The cocktails I'd say were great, since I'm a big fan of fruity cocktails, and the dancing was fun. I'm not sure if I'd come again, because it is pretty pricey. read more

This is the night spot to go to on Ocean drive, Miami! I went there for Salsa Mia private salsa & bachata group class in the second floor lounge, and their mojito was solid. Bites were so-so, but that's not really what you come here for anyway. Downstairs in the main hall, the cabaret performances were electric and amazing. They sang and had ladies in full carnaval costumes on stage dancing & jiggling (sorry but sometimes that is the most accurate description) the night away. I loved the mezzanine seating upstairs as they joined in multi-story fun. There were some very impressive male & female salsa dancers kept the crowd electrified and excited. In the back there was another stage with live band just getting started and I noticed ladies who just sang in the front stage came right back there to continue singing and dancing. Truly a mark of some serious entertainer stamina! Even bartenders and ladies were breaking out in random salsa behind the bar between serving libations o' plenty! We left sweaty and happy. Great spot for night life lovers! read more

This was our first time At Mango's Tropical Cafe. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, we had the wings and they were deliciously spicy. I had the long island which was super strong so I made 2 drinks out of 1.

The music and ambiance is exceptional. read more

For my birthday I decided to go to miami & I really wanted to salsa dance because I love doing that for fun & exercise. Plus miami is basically mini cuba & cubans = salsa so I was excited. I found this event online that had a salsa class & provided a drink & appetizers for the class. They also advertised that we could stay for free to dance on the main dance floor after class. I figured this would be great for me to meet new people & to dance salsa while I was in miami but I was pretty disappointed. Pros: I loved the decor & the teacher was pretty good. He was patient with the beginners & straight up asked me why I was there because I knew how to dance already. I ended up being his partner to teach the class halfway through so that was fun. Cons: I wouldn't recommend going to this event alone. I love to do things alone but I was the ONLY solo person which made for an awkward time until I became the teachers pet lol. The food they offered wasn't that great & I ended up buying my own food. For a plate of quesadillas & a drink, I paid $45!! That's literally criminal. What really disappointed me though was that after paying $85 for this class/event, the club didn't have any social dancing going on that night! This really irritated me because that was a big part of why I chose to go to this event but they had these go-go type dancers singing on stage instead. I was so over it. Not to mention, I got harassed by a ton of men outside the building so that was fun too *sarcasm*. I know that's not mango's fault but it was like sharks came at me as soon as I stepped out of there. One guy even grabbed my arm & pulled me towards him after I intentionally ignored him. Thank goodness he decided to leave me alone after I cussed him out. Idk what's going on there but ladies do not go to mango's or the surrounding area alone at night. read more

I was tickled to see a Mango's here, since I've been to the one in Orlando several times. This one is a good bit smaller, but had a more FUN atmosphere. They have a food menu and a very extensive cocktail menu.. I wanted to try about 7 or 8 but had to settle for 1! The bartender was attentive and a cocktail waitress/entertainer came over to just chat with us. Will definitely go here again! read more

We made a reservation for dinner online for 7:30pm as we wanted to see some of the show. There is a $50 per person charge which is then applied to your bill, along with a 20% service charge at the end. We were sat right away at the lower level of the resturant and brought water. We were informed we had a 2 hour limit at the table. Which, for us, since we went around the time the show started, it was fine. There are pauses between acts of dancing and singing. We ordered the guacamole. I would pass on that next time. Something about the favor just wasn't right for us. We even added some lime and salt but didn't help much. The steak entree was good. I really enjoyed the type of garlic sauce that came with it. The chicken curry dish originally includes shrimp, but due to preference, we asked for double chicken, which was no problem. The sauce was great, however the rice on that dish was a little undercooked. Overall, everyone was friendly, they do enforce the time limit, and we were offered a stamp incase we wanted to come back later on, as they are open until 5am. read more

Mango's Tropical Cafe - Dance Clubs Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Mango's is a vibrant, high-energy Ocean Drive institution where the non-stop live show -- think dancers, fire performers, and DJs -- is the undeniable main attraction. It's a full sensory spectacle perfect for tourists seeking the iconic South Beach party vibe. The Latin-inspired food and drinks are decent but secondary; you're paying for the prime location and continuous entertainment, not a gourmet meal. It can be loud, crowded, and pricey. Verdict: Recommended purely for the unforgettable, theatrical experience and people-watching. Go for the party, not the cuisine. Ideal for a lively night out with a group. read more

I came here with a friend who was visiting and looking for the Miami Experience. On a friday night, it was pretty busy. You can reserve a table for $50 per person. That money goes towards your bill. The place is very touristy and has a lot of birthday/bachelorette parties and the prices definitely reflect that. The decor itself if jungle themes in a early 2000's way that is very fun and whimsical. The service was great, everything came out fast and they were attentive. read more

On my first ever trip to Miami many years back for work, I came here for dinner with my co-workers. The company took us here and bought our dinner and drinks. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the live entertainment that was featured for the night. In fact, I drank my first ever Mojito here at Mango's that night. Mango's Tropical Cafe is located in the heart of South Beach and has a thirty year history in SOBE. It is a little touristy because of its longevity and popularity. But the live music and dancing make it a fun place to stop at if you are hanging out in South Beach. The beach is just a short walk away. Mango's features all sorts of entertainment like live Latin music, salsa dancing, karaoke and magic shows. They serve tropical cuisine with a large menu of cocktails that includes their popular mojitos and daiquiris. I was cruising around South Beach not too long ago and stopped here for a quick drink to reminisce my first trip to Miami. Good times! read more

Food was average at best. Overpriced for what we received. Cocktails insanely expensive. Bring the black card. Ambience is total club feel with strong Latino flair. Reggaeton, merengue, salsa, bachata, R&B playing in background. Good vibe for dancing Service was amazing with Jossie being as hospitable and pleasant as can be when we asked about the now extinct dance revue. She was very understanding and just accommodating I give service a 5 star review. We came expecting a dance revue show that was the signature attraction for this restaurant. The show no longer offered but not properly advertised when making reservations. Parking was complimentary valet when we arrived However valet charged $30 as we're leaving around 9 PM read more

I love this place. Even though this place is in SoBe it truly offers an experience for every budget. Pro Tip: I suggest going to Groupon and getting a city pass for Miami and in that pass you will have a salsa class offered on a specific weekday and it includes mojitos and an RSVP for your meal in a VIP room. That is really cool to have, but if you want to have more you can reserve during event nights and watch an entire show at your table. The dancers are nothing short of amazing and the costumes are truly colorful and vibrant. They offer event packages or a Menu to order what you please. read more

Definitely worth a visit, a couple of minor gripes, but overall it was positive. We went there for a Salsa class ("Salsa Mia" - highly recommend), it takes place in a side room, so I can't speak to the overall cafe/club experience. Ambiance was excellent. As a first time visitor to Miami, the cafe feels like what I would look for in a Miami club. Loud, bright colors, darkened atmosphere, the staff looks like models, part of the bar top is actually a stage (duh - why wouldn't it be), and I instantly felt too old to be there. Gripe about the ribs - delicious, but felt a bit overpriced for what we received. RE: Tipping; a service charge was on the receipt, so just be aware. read more

A major tourist trap but it does get people in. I've been a few times and normally it's for a drink while waiting for friends. And that's also during the day time. Evening is a whole different vibe. It's on the main strip so you will be solicited by the girls trying to get you inside for a drink. We stopped off for a drink while waiting for friends. It was still pretty quiet for mid day during the week. They do still have the ladies getting in the bar to dance. But it is very pricey for a quick stop. And they add all sorts of taxes and service fees to everything. It's a staples for Miami so they'll do well regardless. read more

Stopped in for a drink at lunch time with my wife. Very expensive. Atmosphere was great and could really be banging at night but definitely not worth just a drink.

This was the first restaurant I've tried when I went to Miami last week and was one of the better spots I've went to. When you first arrive you are greeted by two shrieking parrots which was cool at first and then annoying after a while. The place itself looked really nice and vibrant. Our server was amazing, I forgot her name but I think it was Kaylene but she made sure we were good and was very attentive. The first drinks we got were really good but the shots were decent (I've had better jolly rancher shots) and kinda overpriced (which was expected for Miami). The food I ordered was delicious! The lemon pepper chicken was wayyyyy different from any lemon pepper I've tasted and I'd definitely choose this one any day. The tacos were decent but nothing to brag about. There was also a live show where they invited my friend up to dance and play which was fun. We spent a bit more than we were expecting but that's how it was all over the area. Overall it was a good experience and would recommend trying if you are visiting but just know you'll be spending a lot. read more

An absolute perfect place for dinner and a show, date night, or to celebrate that special occasion. Wife and I celebrated combination of birthday and our 33rd wedding anniversary. Caribbean festive tropical decorated with lively music to match provided the awesome ambiance, large bar with stage, live music and not a bad seat in the house. Seating on the second level as well.awesome service. Attentive, professional, courteous, friendly and polite. Food was perfectly prepared, delicious and very tasty. We ordered the jumbo shrimp scampi, Mango's world famous churrasco steak and rum-baked sweet plantains. All an absolute deliciously amazing delight. Compliments to the chef! For dessert, we had their wonderfully moist chocolate ganache layer cake. Great drinks too. So good!! Highly recommend. Definitely on our list of go-to every time we visit Miami's South Beach.

I really loved the mezzanine seats, which offered a stunning view of the salsa dancers.

Wow this place is crazy overpriced and overhyped. Didn't try any food from here, but the drinks weren't very good and I couldn't believe how little they gave for such a high price. The staff isn't friendly and there is soo much to look at that it becomes overwhelming. They are insanely strict on dress code and wouldn't let my male friend in because you could see his shoulders and they made him buy a shirt to get in. But one of my female friends was literally just in a bikini top and it was fine. It was very interesting. I enjoyed the area upstairs as we were able to watch the performances without being in a crowd. The performances were okay. After just having seen an amazing drag show somewhere else, this seemed lackluster and felt like they were doing it for money not for the fun. I wouldn't bother coming back if I'm ever in town again. This place is such a tourist trap/ripoff and we didn't even have that much fun while we were there. read more

Shoutout to my girl Vena for keeping the vibes high between sets! The drinks, yep I'll take 10! The menu is large, in a good way, making a drink for everyone at the table. My favorite was the frozen mango marg The food is great! I tried only the chicken quesadillas but my table was happy with their meals.
