    Cotton candy drink was my favorite !!

    My first time coming here and it was a cool vibe minus the hectic parking areas. There was a group of 15 of us and we enjoyed dinner and entertainment but lord the half naked women at the front door is too much. Food was 3/5 but drinks were 5/5. I enjoyed the different rooms for dancing but it's nothing I'd make a point to Come back again.

    The promoter who represents mango's who got mad because I said Lyfe Jennings never showed up

    I never posted about any events, only factual information. I spent over $1,800 to attend a Lyfe Jennings concert, which he failed to attend. As a professional promoter, you sent me a text stating that you would not take any further action on my behalf, despite previously committing to make things right after I expressed my dissatisfaction on Facebook. However, I did not post on Facebook; Gmoney did. Bad business practices.

    Love everything about this place from the music to shows to vip rooms the food also is amazing definitely a must try on IDrive

    This place?? A whole experience. It's giving Vegas + Miami + a telenovela dance battle. Yes, the drinks are a little pricey but honestly? You're getting way more than just a drink. There's acrobatic dancers flipping around, a full-on Bad Bunny mini concert vibe, and live performances that keep you entertained the whole time.The DJ was actually really good too played everything I wanted to hear, no weird mixes or buzzkills. The energy was fun without being overwhelming, and the crowd felt like everyone just wanted to have a good time.It was a birthday night and Mango's made it feel special. Definitely not my last time here.

    My friends ordered a couch for the event and it took the staff a while to get us seated but after that it was an absolute blast. Great music. Great service. Polite staff.

    The food was good. Our waiter was attentive and welcoming. The ambiance was nice after 10 p.m it turned into a club. Unfortunately we missed the show. They had dancers on stage dressed in costumes. From what I seen it was very entertaining

    We celebrated my daughter's graduation at Mango's Tropical Cafe, and we had an amazing time. We had made a reservation, so they sat us down right away. We enjoyed our drinks and appetizers while watching live performances: s guitar player, dancers, and singers. The food was good, but the service was slow. They brought the ribs first, and after 10 minutes, they brought the Fajita. My girls were done eating when they finally brought my salmon. Thankfully, the DJ was not shy on his great repertoire, so I didn't focus on having my dish last. I was going to order another drink, but my server brought the ck. Then they discreetly asked us our table as it was going to be converted to a VIP section. Overall, it's a great place for a fun night out, and my graduate enjoyed the experience. I can see myself going back next time I'm in Orlando.

    Different vibes on a Sunday, Cinco de Mayo. The price for margarita is 18$ on the 2nd floor and 10$ on 1st floor. Wait staff was always roving around, friendly, and fast. Great atmosphere and music.

    The hype of this place has always been for the shows and the club at night, but I was entertained and felt like the shows were great, and they had some decent food and drink packages to go with it. I actually came for a company event so I'm not sure how much it cost to actually get in for their regular selected club nights, but I do know they get packed fairly quickly ! Parking Lot is a bit smaller given the size of the restaurant , but they just now opened the new parking lot in case you can't find any in the front. Service was great and our waitresses were very helpful and attentive to our refills and wants. Given this was my first time I would say it was a great show and nice place to go, but I wasn't too impressed with the food. They're mainly known more for the drinks and the club scene. I still would recommend to come and check out their great entertainment and service.

    Celebrated my birthday here with wifey. I was welcomed in the front entrance with a photoshoot, after that we were walked to our table. The ambiance was friendly. Good stage of latin presence. The entertainment was great! 2 hrs of theatrical singing/dancing from Columbia, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil. Additional to that, even had a Magic Show and Michael Jackson! A mixed flavor of everything. There was an after show that demonstrated art and music. It was really cool. The food on the other hand was just ok, not saying it was great but just ok. Had a filet mignon with potato and asparagus. My wife had the sea bass with Rice and asparagus. Seabass was very good but that orange rice they served us tasted spoiled! We brought it up to attention and did not want to make a big fuss about it. Filet Mignot was alittle overcooked. Again just ok. We did order a 96 ounce fish bowl with assorted alcohol. Now that was great loo! They gave me my cake and wished me happy birthday, which was a kind gesture. Overall, I recommend this place for a latin vibe. The show is a production which entertained my wife and I which all that matters. Congo line and dancing. Some of the hottest Latinas I have seen that exhibited talent. They both serve food and dance their butts off! Not to mention friendly service from my waiter. The attitudes of every individual worker here was welcoming. Which subseudes the average food. This is why I give this place 5 stars. The beauty of the people and great customer service!! They always attended to my needs. I recommend this place to have a latin experience. I do advise Mangos to clear all the tables on the dance floor so you can dance! The chairs was killing the club scene experience.

    I was a frequent patron of Mango's on South beach, and always enjoyed its concept and business model. They're successful because of the effort they put into creating the perfect atmosphere to have fun with great music, an international representation and welcoming. But two things I'd like to underscore are its hard workers: from bathroom monitors to cooks and of course bartenders and servers - and the performers. This show, featuring a variety of music from Michael Jackson to Bruno Mars, y de Celia Cruz hasta Gloria Estefan, is worthy of comparing to things you might see in Las Vegas or Los Angeles!

    This "cafe" turns litty lit at nights. Its a nightclub at night and there is a cover charge to get in. High security prior to walking in. They do bag and hat checks along with security wand around body. Parking is tight here unless you use the garage which has a charge. This is a 2 level ambience which consists of latin music floor level and hiphop / carribean music upper level. The bathrooms here is clean somewhat interesting. On the far left of the sink counter is array of body sprays, lotions and a tip bowl. Theres an older carribean lady inside the bathroom that hands you the paper towels to dry your hands. So I am assuming the tip bowl is hers. I never seen a service like that inside a nightclub. I guess this is the reason the bathrooms were clean enough. The lower level has the vip bottle service tables and booths. Also hookah options. They also serve bar food items here. Again its a different vibe as far as a nightclub. They have staff dancers twerking onstage not sure of its for tips or just purely for entertainment. I didn't see dollar bills flying around so I am assuming purely for entertainment. Not sure if they offer valet parking because we were interested in that service but we didn't see anyone on the curbside offering such service. The lower level was more packed with club goers than it was upstairs. Security from Orange county PD are in the presence of the venue in case things get a little wild. They are present towards the exit doors. The way they place admission here is by a glow in the dark stamp. There is a entrance fee here after 9pm I believe. So no bracelets to wear which is a nice touch to this nightclub. Of course id checks are standard towards entering. They had a Halloween theme going on the night we went so i saw 1 couple in costumes. The smoke effect they do is also a nice touch along with the strobe lights effects. The nightclub smells good surprisingly and that is also an interesting thing to have in a nightclub. Lower level seems warmer than upper level possibly due to level of crowds. I am not really a nightclub person but this place was actually not bad as far as what it carried! My cousins thought the mixed drinks were strong which is a good judgement for their bar services. I would actually bring people here to experience the mango's nightclub scene if they want to experience a good time!

    Ask the Community - Mango's Tropical Cafe

    Are kids allowed after dark?

    I would say no. The place turns into a club after hours. I guess it depends on how early you go. They have a Drag Show on Wednesday nights that starts at 8p.

    Is the music Latin?

    Mostly Latin music is played, yes.

    Is this place open and doing stage show?

    Yes. The individual clubs were closed when I went. Just the main area was open and there were shows.

    What is the cover charge for a Sat. night, after 10:00?

    Ranges from $5 to $20 as the night progresses and is also based on occupancy.

    Are children allowed?

    Yes children are allowed and they dance

    Is it possible to actually speak with the owner?

    I have been there several time and never met the owner but the place is very actractive and the girls beautiful

    Are the live shows all the week or just for the weekend? Do I have to make a reservation?

    I believe the show is live every night. Reservations are recommended but not required, but if you don't make a reservation you won't be guaranteed entry either. However, if you are going Friday, Saturday or Sunday you best make a reservation.

    It is there a cover charge?

    Sort of. The way me and my family did it was make an online reservation and you have to put down a $10 per person reservation deposit which goes towards you food that you order during the dinner show. That is for the early show though. The late… Read more

    What is the best thing to order from the Ala cart menu?

    I had soup of the day, black bean, wedge salad, prime rib. All were delicious.

    How much can I expect to spend for a night out at Mango's for dinner and drinks?.... Thanks in advance

    For two people, about $150 - $200. You have to make reservations for dinner with a $25 pp deposit. Then you have to order from the prefixe menu which is about $50 pp.

    Hay que pagar en la entrada?

    No, se necesitó pagar

    Until what time minors can be there? Can I do my 17th birthday there?

    Until 10:30-11 pm! Yes you can and I️ highly recommend it! Give Mango's a call and they'll talk you through the reservation process!

    Until what time minors can be there?

    Minors are allowed to stay until around 10:30-11pm every night. After that it turns 21+.

    Can kids attend mangos? My daughter is 7

    Absolutely. Kids can even go on stage to dance and have fun.

As we walked in, Bobbi greeted us with a smile and was helpful to show us our table which was this cozy booth in the back corner surrounded by velvet drapery and Moroccan inspired glass lamps (confused me too). She allowed us to head to the bar for a round cocktails while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Drinks are a little pricey and 20% gratuity is already included so be vigilant of that! When we sat down, Daniel our server was absolutely wonderful. He gave us a tour of the menu which was exceptional. We ordered the goat cheese appetizer and empanadas - both, fantastic. They serve dinner rolls which is accompanied by a delicious butter spread. We ordered the ribeye, ordered medium rare, but it felt a little on the rare side. Wasn't easy to eat, so may not have been the best quality meat, but it was fine. The birthday boy had the short rib which he described as Devine! The table side Alfredo presentation was quite exciting as well! My only negative comment was that they didn't really have a birthday experience. They delivered a glass of champagne and had a happy birthday card, but nothing compared to what you can experience at other I-Drive establishments. I would dine here again because the experience was lovely and I would like to try the fish next time!

I was visiting Orlando and I have a lot of friends and family here. My niece took us here for lunch with high praises of the place. I was excited since I haven't eaten good Dominican outside of the few dishes I've learned how to make over the years. We arrived and immediately began to order. There were a lot of us so I will only review what I ate. I ordered a small sancocho to start. It was ok, but was seriously devoid of seasoning. From the start you could tell they were playing it safe with the flavors. Trying to appease as many tongues as they could. I hadn't had sancocho in a very long time, so I was seriously disappointed. For my main course I ordered the monfongo with pernil. Where the sancocho lacked flavor the monfongo and pernil over reached. It was crazy salty. Like way too salty. I could only get through a few spoonfuls before I called it quits. I then turned to some of my wife's rice and beans and was right back to flavorless. About the only thing that tasted even was the chicharon de pollo. But even that was lack luster. It's always hard to find a good Dominican food restaurant. I will keep searching but till then I guess I will just continue to hone my skills at cooking it at home. The atmosphere itself was good. Sort of a mid-stage afternoon spot. Nice, clean, nothing too trendy or new. Just an average spot. If you have never had Dominican food this may be the spot for you. Something safe so you aren't over whelmed by flavors. If you grew up on it like me, I feel you will be disappointed.

They also have lunch specials, which is nice. Cons- There is ALWAYS a weird perm smell when you go. It literally smells like someone is perming their hair, so not good. Another con is sometimes it takes long to get your food. And last but not least, I think their prices are not reasonable lately. Some of the prices do not match their menu, not sure when they raised their prices but I have never ever heard of a patacon costing almost $26 anywhere, and I frequent a lot of Venezuelan spots. Their name went from Q'Kenan restaurant to Q'Kenan Steakhouse so maybe now they just raised all the prices, I don't know. Their most expensive patacon on the menu is the one with Picańha and it says $17...yet I got charged 25.90. Regardless of how good something is, there shouldn't be a $9 difference from what is on the menu. That is absurd. On my last trip- $43 for an empanada, tequeńos and a patacon just doesn't sound right for Venezuelan food, and I come from living in Miami where restaurants are supposed to be more expensive.
