Seating with soft cushions and lumbar support pillows were important when designing the venue. Talking with Mango’s creator and owner David Wallack, he said he wanted to have seating that encouraged guests to stay, drink, and enjoy the night. There’s also an outside patio with its own bar and a bevy of comfortable seating configurations. Bottle service is available during this time, as well, as the upstairs opening for guests to enjoy. After it turns into the nightclub format, all guests must be 21+. “We have drawn from the freshness, flavors, colors and textures of Latin America and the world’s cuisine to create dishes that evoke Mango’s fun and cosmopolitan vibe.”Īfter the nearly two-hour Mango’s Live! show, guests are welcome to hit the dance floor until 2am, as the DJ continues the sounds of Latin America. “Every dish has been carefully developed to enhance the Mango’s Live! experience through the tastebuds,” said Chef Acosta. Street Taco Flight (2 each of Chicken Tinga, Baja Braised Beef Baracoa, and Mahi Mahi) – I really enjoyed the Beef and Chicken tacos, though the chef was a bit heavy-handed with the onions on the beef tacos. Slider Flight Board (four sliders featuring Angus beef, ground turkey, house-made chorizo, and ground lamb) – this one paired well with the Mezze platter. Mediterranean Mezze Platter (Housemade lemon dill hummus, fresh tabouli, roasted eggplant and red pepper dip, house marinated olives, fresh garden vegetales, and grilled naan) – a nice mixture of flavors and filling. Here’s what we were shown during our preview:Ĭeviche Trio (Sexy Mexi Ceviche, Mahi Mango Ceviche, and Ceviche Mixto) – I couldn’t try this due to a seafood allergy, but others enjoyed their samples.Ĭheese and Charcuterie Board (Spanish cheeses, cured meats, grilled chorizo, marinated olives, seasonal fruit, roasted mixed nuts, grilled naan, artisanal crackers, whole grain dijon mustard, and bacon bourbon jam) – this was the first sample gone before I could try it but it looked delicious. Chef Ren Acosta created this new menu, which leans heavily on Latin American and Mediterranean flavors. The new menu is available to guests of Mango’s Live! and includes a revamped offering of various shareable dishes. General admission starts at $15 per person. VIP seating on the main floor close to the stage starts at $59 per person, and includes one signature mojito per person.

Mango’s Live! operates Wednesdays through Sundays for dinner only. There is also a group of dancers and a Michael Jackson look-alike who perform to a medley of the singer’s hits, including a fun version of “Thriller.”

The entertainment includes singers, dancers, musicians, and showgirls performing Brazilian samba, Cuban conga, a variety of Latin beats, Hip-hop, plus 80s, 90s and today’s top hits.ĭuring our preview, I heard some Miami Sound Machine, some Brazilian samba, and a mini-Queen medley. Mango’s reopened this summer after a pandemic closure as an ultra-lounge format for those 21 and over, but now they’re ready to welcome back families for the Mango’s Live! show. This past weekend, Mango’s Tropical Café in Orlando officially brought back its popular entertainment offerings and a new dinner menu for guests to enjoy, and I attended a media preview of both.
