    Chicha Morada
    Jessy C.

    The flavors are great and the the food was cooked fairly well. The meat for the Lomo saltado was not cooked evenly, some were medium well, some medium, some medium rare, and the fries were hard like they were old. The positives for this dish was that the rice was cooked well and the flavor was good. Would be better too if there were more tomatoes sautéed with the beef. the only complaint for the rice with fish was that the scallops were a bit tough. Otherwise it was really delicious. We also tried the Chica morada which was refreshing but had a spice favorite to it, so if you don't like that, beware. We liked it a lot. Overall, still quite good and I'd be willing to come back to try something new.

    We ordered two chicharron sandwiches, a chicken tamale, and a mango smoothie and they all were delicious! Service was so quick and very friendly, 10/10.

    Food: it was great we had the Huancaina Potatoes it was really good in taste and portion, we had the chaufa mixto very good and tasty. We had the lomo salteado the meat was very tender. Definitely recommend all three plates. Service: was good a bit slow they seem like they are still trying to figure things out the food took a bit long too. Ambiance definitely a relax place to go with the family is a small place so you might have to wait.

    Totally authentic Peruvian restaurant. The seafood is amazing, but be aware there are only 10 tables in the European tradition. The wait was short, the server was hustling but attentive, and the decor was modern and simple. They serve a traditional corn seed snack that's fun to eat too. But back to the seafood, it was tender and flavorful fish, shrimp, and octopus. I can't wait to go back for more!

    Started with a passion fruit pisco sour and it wasn't as good as I've had in the past. For apps we had the classic fish ceviche spicy and it was spectacular. The portion was huge and could have been a meal. The fish was fresh and came with fried calamari. For dinner we had pescado Marco and hubby had the noodles with steak. The noodle dish was delicious and we would order that again. The staff was pleasant and attentive.

    Came here the other night and had a great time! The place is bright and cute! Staff all friendly. We got the following to start: 1. tres mares, which is the sample of three ceviches), so fresh and delicious. Each flavor was amazing!. 2. Peruvian grilled octopus, cooked perfectly! 3. Jalea which is a platter of lightly fried seafood, fish, shrimp, calamari with a dipping sauce. Wow this was so good, not greasy, just delicious For the entree I had the lomo Saltado, sautéed filet mignon with sauce, grilled onions, Tomato with sides fries and rice. Need more gravy!! Amazing! Definitely try it is your in the area! Food was just amazing!!

    20+ min wait between dishes.

    Mares used to be a good Peruvian option for Orlando, with delicious food, great customer service and descent prices. All those three are gone. Food was ok, ordered my go-to which is the lomo saltado, flavors were ok but sauce was salty and rice was dry. To top things off, I received my food and my partner had to wait another 20+ minutes to receive her food. Server did not check on us, our drinks never got refilled, we had to call him to get our check. Prices are high with low customer service and low quality food, this is why I believe they need to work to improve and hence the 3-star rating.

    Best Peruvian food in Orlando! Our server Arianna N was helpful , the place is small but very clean and very unique i definitely recommend this place , the ambiance was amazing , it was my first time and def not my last

    First time trying Peruvian cuisine & it didn't disappoint! I love seafood & they make amazing food. Everyone loved their meals!!

    If you are in the Hunters Creek area, this place is a must!!! We live about 35 mins away but we'll worth the drive. This place has a small restaurant feel but it could easily be fine dining. The decor was chic contemporary. Loved the colors and textures all through the restaurant. Also had tables outside to eat...groups of more than 6 might have a hard time sitting on a busy night... Started off with stuffed plantains with shrimp (tostones rellenos) and it was soooooo good!!! Wife ordered Maki salmon which is just a sushi roll and it was delicious! I had the pescado a lo macho and it exceeded my expectations! It was a swai filet topped with mussels, shrimps, calamari, scallops in this creamy, cheesy sauce. AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be back to try more of their extensive menu!

    I'm going with 5 stars because service is great and the food is pretty freaking good. This restaurant is easily one of my top Peruvian restaurants, although it unfortunately is very very far from me so I cannot visit as often as I would like. When I visited I had the seco combinado, which is a beef stew in cilantro, with a side of canario beans and rice. Now, canario beans are not to be confused with navy or white beans, these beans are typical of Peru and you will not find anywhere else other than Peruvian/Hispanic groceries. I also had a fish ceviche, which was good despite having generic fish and not premium sea bass. I can't complain about the ceviche, to be honest. I'm not sure if they had typical drinks or if everything was alcoholic drinks and some Peruvian sodas, anyway I always prefer water with my meal because I like to keep my kidneys healthy (sorry for too much information). I recommend this place to all. When I was leaving I ran into some friends, who are not Peruvian, so this place is truly international. That is cool, because Peruvian food is amazing!

To drink, I got the lickin love with Cabernet (milk chocolate on the rim with a white chocolate drizzle). It was so fun and delicious. For my dessert, I ordered the fever, which consisted of a chocolate molten cake, two scoops of vanilla ice cream, and a chocolate decoration. It was so delicious and decadent. My girlfriends loved the carrot cake and the fourgasm (4 dessert sampler). Everything was a bit expensive, but you're paying for the expensive. My one minor complaint was that we had not been there an excessive amount of time, but as we were checking out, we were informed we needed to leave because they needed our table in 5 minutes. I did not care for that. Overall, this was a really fun experience and I'm sad we had to say goodbye.

    Another good ice cream place to add to my list of favorite places to go in Orlando!…read more The ice cream is a perfect combo of dense, soft, and creamy. From the top of the swirl to the very bottom of the inside of my cone, there was not a single air pocket to be found. I got the chocolate flavored ice cream, and every bite was chocolatey and creamy heaven. Now, if you know your desserts, the cone that is used is usually known as a chimney cake. It is a sweet pastry that is soft on the inside and has a glass-like crunchy exterior that is coated with cinnamon and sugar. It's a little like eating a cruffin, but with a crunchier exterior due to their special way of making it. Definitely worth trying at least once if you've never tried it before. Overall, if you're looking to impress a foodie with something sweet, decadent, and pretty, I'd say give this place a go. The ice cream is as perfect and delicious as you see it.

Seriously, you can save all your other options for a rainy day. This is the place for any occasion, date, family gathering, or plain ol' get together with friends to enjoy sweets with great company. Located off South Apopka Vineland Road on the Northbound side, Mango Mango is situated in a relatively new development and plaza (if you look at the satelite imagery from Google maps, it will still show undeveloped land as of June 2026). It's less than a 10 minute drive from the Disney Springs property, and about an 18 minute drive from Old Town/Fun Spot which is where we were staying for this particular trip coming from Tampa. As you arrive, you will find a spacious lot, however the actual parking spaces do appear limited (something to consider if you decide to have a large reunion here). Upon entering, you will find a very clean storefront and reception. Overall the store maintains a very neat and tidy appearance that is very welcoming and neutral when it comes to the varying demographics of customers. While we have been to Mango Mango before in a New Jersey location, this location provides a bit of table service (which we have not experienced prior) for dine-in which makes it a bit more intimate. The menu offers plentiful choices of sweets - from bowls with fresh fruits and ice cream, to your specialty drinks including boba. To call Mango Mango a boba shop would do it injustice, as this place truly shines as a hollistic dessert spot. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the selections. Each dish/drink is perfectly made to their own specifications. The best part is that none are overly sweet, which I feel is a crutch that most dessert spots experience. Highly recommend the mixed fresh fruit with sago and jelly! Wish this was in Tampa because this would give our usual boba spot a run for their money. This is a must have if you're in the area, so treat yourself after long hot day at the parks at Mango Mango!
