Went for dinner at about 10pm. Â I didn't go too heavy on the dinner, but the food that we had was good (not the reason for my 5 star rating though). Â The drinks were good. Â The environment and the dancing were fantastic. Â Warning - not a family dinner place, as the dancers are in somewhat revealing costume. Â Giving it 5 stars for the entertainment value, as a must experience this place... Â The food and drinks were good. Â Really liked the chocolate extravaganza dessert.
Review Source:Came here a few times, my first time having lunch with the girls while strolling along Ocean. Â
Extensive food menu, and I don't remember eating anything extraordinary and the drinks were okay but the entertainment was AWESOME! Â Who doesn't love pretty, sparkly scantily clad women dancing a top the bar? Â When we went there was a series of skits and dancers: flamenco dancers, burlesque dancing, and show girls galore.
It's loud, flambouyant, and so Miami Beach and they are all about having a good time!
I had my husbands 40th bday party here and it was for lack of a better word AWESOME!!!!! The staff was very attentive to my husbands every want and need. There was plenty to drink and the entertainment was outstanding!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy that a friend recommended to have my hubby's party here. We live in Maryland so this was a leap for me to book and pay via email from a referral and looking at pictures on the Internet, but I am so happy I did. My entire party of 11 enjoyed the VIP area, show and food sooooo happy with all that Mango provided for that special day.
Review Source:FUN FUN FUN!!!!! A Sobe must! Entertainment is wonderful! They dance & sing their hearts out especially Livan Jimenez - a real showman, he's the Latin Elvis. You will fall in love with his voice & he does splits!!!! RESPECT! Most of the women are beautiful not so much for what's on the outside but their smiles are like sunshine & they are extremely talented booty shakers! Again.. RESPECT, ladies - love my Mango's girls, they do work! Food is not great but no one goes to Mango's for the food. Male bartenders are not the eye candy they could be although their dance routine will give you a heart attack! Mango boys could teach the rest of you sloppy, out of shape, inflexible chumps a thing or too! Every man should dance & look like this! Ladies best bartenders are Lazaro, buy your drinks from him! How do you know which one is Lazaro? Look for the one that looks like an angel.. he glistens, that's him! He's deserves your $$$. Tip him well! Bartender #2, Hector also happens to be the best bartender/dancer in the joint with Lazaro a close 2nd! Hector's snake move will hypnotize you into giving him all your $$$ because it's so damn official! He's got a cross tattooed under his belly button which I'm sure goes straight to hell! These guys are good people! Tip them well. They HUSTLE!!!!
Review Source:Last weekend, thousands of visitors and Miami residents alike flocked to South Beach to celebrate Miami Heat's 2013 NBA Championship win. Needless to say, the neighborhood was packed and painted with black and red. To catch a glimpse of the enthusiasm, some family and friends of mine and I visited Mangos on 900 Ocean Drive. I was sick and tired of Lincoln Road, it was a full moon and I wanted to experience a fun restaurant on the beach with lots of drinking, dancing, people watching and muscular waiters.
For food, I ordered Mango's "World Famous" Cubano. It came with cured Serrano ham, fresh roast pork, Swiss cheese, sweet pickles and Dijon mustard, served with mango's fried potato wedges. My nephew ordered a traditional New York Style Pizza with classic pizza with mozzarella cheese and homemade marinara sauce. My sister ordered some lamb chops and yellow rice (good choice) and my friend ordered a salad. The menu was a diverse mix of sandwiches and pizzas, but nothing special. I wasn't there for the food though. Mango's isn't Nobu. However, if I visit again, I am going to check out the "Churrasco and Shrimp Deluxe." I have heard many good things about it. Basically, it is a marinated piece of grilled churrasco served with shrimp "al ajillo" with rice, black beans, sweet plantains and garlic-chimichurri sauce.
For drinks, I ordered the "Miami Vice" cocktail mixed with frozen Pina Coloda and rum runner layered with Bacardi 151 Rum. It was delicious and it went down quickly like a slurpy. My friend ordered the "South Beach Caipirinha" made with Leblon Cachaca, muddled with fresh lime and Splenda instead of sugar. I liked her drink better. It was made country club style. Just one sip warmed my chest and made me giddy.
In a nutshell, Mangos offered lovely Latin entertainment along with yummy yet ridiculously overpriced specialty cocktails and food in a super touristy section right on Ocean drive. There is always live music and a show on the top of the bar with people from all walks of life... mostly from Kendal, Doral or Hialeah. Â It was a nice change and I enjoyed it.
After dinner and drinks, all of us took off our shoes, walked on the beach, sat down on the sand and gazed at the full "super" moon shine over the ocean.
If I could hash tag the evening, it would read: #Miami #Heat #OceanDrive #Mangos #Cubano #Caipirinha #Beach # SuperMoon
This place is soooooo cheesy and touristy.....BUT I LOVE IT!!! Don't come here for the food! Come for the ridiculously overpriced and delicious mojitos/ specialty cocktails! And the entertainment! Always live music. Always a show on the top of the bar. Always dancing. People of all ages, tourists, locals, we all flock here, bc it is always entertaining! Come here any night. Every night. So much fun!
Review Source:Can't pub crawl south beach without checking out Mangos! Sexy men dancing on stage, (girls also... so you boys don't get left out) a variety of music in each room. Crowd was a bit crazy, from just turned 21 and can't handle my liquor, too just got off the sailboat and need a glass of your finest liquor, but somehow these flip flop to suit wearing varieties got along.. Â Made for a great stop I would visit again!
Review Source:Who doesn't enjoy a meal that comes with scantily clad women shaking their lady bits on the bar?!
I'd been to Miami twice before I decided to actually go in this place and this past week, I finally went. Twice. Amen.
I ordered chicken nachos (both times) and a Raspberry Mojito (which was just NOT tasty but no worries...I ordered a Lemonade Mojito and all was right with the world). The chicken nachos were so effing delectable, my GOD! And the Lemonade Mojito was super tasty as well.
There was a man walking around offering photo ops with 2 Macaws (I think that's what they were). I had to politely decline, as the last time I was that close to a Macaw, I was assaulted. But they were nice to look at.
There was a band of sorts, singing what I have deemed the latina version of popular
songs.
I had a really good time in there and when I return to South Beach in August, I will absolutely be there.
Dropped in here based on a recommendation from a friend. We sat outside. I didn't like it. My 2 other friends weren't very impressed either, I think. I ordered shrimp cocktail for 18.95 and all I was given was 4 shrimp :-/ ??? Â Now, I fully understand the concept of tourism and seafood pricing, but this was a waste. Their cocktail sauce was ketchup. There was little to no horseradish at all. The shrimp were huge though! This was potentially the only saving grace, they were actually prawns I'm sure that's how big they were. I didn't order an alcoholic drink. I got a virgin drink that was average nothing to brag over and clearly so because I can't recall the name :-/.
We could hear and see the live entertainment from the TV screen by the entrance and they were awful. I wouldn't have wasted my $5 to go inside. If I was drunk then I wouldn't have cared, but they couldn't carry the notes, the dancing was horrendous, and it was just mediocre. I'm not sure why people enjoy this place. I think it's over priced and hyped up. Being loud, wild, and crazy doesn't always mean good and I think that's what or how people are confusing this place. If you go to SOBE try it yourself and see, but heed the warnings. There are many more places just along the strip that can offer you the same drinks and better food. It seems their gimmick is their weak and lame "entertainment" if you can even call it that.
Went here for my 21st. Cover was $10 and the bouncer saw that it was my birthday and proceeded to make everyone around me sing "Happy Birthday". That was cute.
Only stayed for about an hour. Place was packed but we went in the lounges to dance. They were playing mostly hip-hop, which I loved! My boyfriend, not so much.
Went downstairs to the bar and ordered a Jager bomb. Still waiting on that Jager bomb.....
Overall, I feel like I've only gotten a taste of Mango's and would love to go back during a week day to truly experience it.
OMG! FUN FUN FUN!
This place is a ton of fun! No creepers trying to bug you, they just wanna dance. If you just wanna dance with your friends they'll leave you alone. This place is open all night and cracking off all night too.
Check out the dancers they have too! Both girls and guys. It's not some nasty strip thing. I hate strip clubs but this is just some fun, professional dancers doing some awesome moves.
Con:
It may be because I am from California but the smoking was a bit much. I had to take a few breaks.
Worst place ever! Never been treat like this. Expensive for no reason, the wait staff is rude and stuck up. Went to celebrate my friend's bday. We wanted to get her a cake  and the waitstaff to sing happy bday. We got turned down because we wasnt in the VIP section. Really? We was gonna pay not like we wasnt gonna pay. The only good thing was the live performances. Please dont waste your money on a unprofessional, rude place. It's just all hype. It gets pack with tourists, you cant even dance.
Review Source:I love this place! Bartender was wonderful. Made sure I liked my drink he made, if not he was willing to change it. Popcorn shrimp was good! The best part was being entertained by the dancers on stage. It's a good place to start off a night. The dance floor wasn't so big though. Also, girls in heels - watch when you walk theres random dips in the floor.
Review Source:Really  nice spot, I came here my first night in Miami. Great music, two floors, and people just out having fun. The only knock I give this place was the price for a long island ice tea that cost me a staggering $17. Besides that this place is awesome and they only charged about $5 to get in and you were able to leave and come as you pleased for the night.
Review Source:On boy, where do I begin...
Well we walked in being invited by a friend who has been here before. It was too busy and it was nice the bar was open and not jammed packed! Of course there were creepy men in there, creepy cracked out women in bathroom and tourists. That didn't stop us from having an awesome time ! We hit it on a pretty good night since there were many locals as well! This isn't your typical dance club -you actually dance and if you don't know how some guy is always desperate enough to teach you.
The performances were funny, amazing and seductive; plus there was one every 15 to 30 minutes which got the crowd going - I could see both perspectives of having a great time or bad time but I think you have to try it out yourself. Either your the open type who loves to have a good time or your the type who just wants to "dance with your friends" !
Your in south beach, time to live a little and go party at a really great place!
Mangos had it all - nice men, creepy men, great drinks, amazing performances, fantastic music and all of the above !
What an experience ! Loved it :)
I'm in love! You can literally spend all night here because there's always something entertaining you! Great foods, fun atmosphere, crazy performances of all sorts! Every 15 minutes there was a new dance performance or singing performance. Then after 10 or 11 (can't remember) there's two rooms upstairs that basically just turn into dance clubs (as if you weren't doing enough dancing downstairs to the live performances) but the Voodoo room was like ratchet hip hop music (love) and then Martini Room was like reggaeton music! So much fun, fits any party mood you're in! I was running around the entire place from dance floor to dance floor! I would hands down go back again and recommend to all!!!
Review Source:Sorry, but this place is deuche-bag central. As a local and walking by w/ friends visiting from out of town, the place looks somewhat interesting. They charged us each $20 to get it...that already turned me off. Drinks are South Beach prices, music was pretty decent but the quality of people going there was just all over the place.
Apart from the Michael Jackson impersonator, I will never ever EVER go back or tell others to go here.
Party-goers beware!
Mangos is lots of fun. They have attractive latin men and women entertaining the club goers with sexy dance performances, This place is a must see if your on vacation. It's alot of fun, however, I feel like I am clubbing at an all inclusive resort. Â Great place to bring out of town guest.
Review Source:Always a good time to be had here...so much a good time, I was thrown out last year for being overly drunk. To my credit, most of that drinking took place @ Clevelander where I was also thrown out earlier that evening...sad
Two levels and full of action. There are always performers in the front dancing on the tables doing covers of songs and dancing usually takes place in the back on the lower level. The upper level is usually where hookup negotiations and people watching takes place. The line can be lengthy on some evenings, but as I said earlier its a good time
Stumbled across this place on our walk down Ocean Drive and it sounded like a wild party inside so we decided to check it out.
We were going to get a table and were under the impression we would be seated in that initial area where the dancers were but the hostess was directing us upstairs to the club. We immediately nixed the idea of getting a table if we can only get one in the club which was empty, ghetto, and gross. I would never go clubbing here LOL
Decided to just hang by the bar and see the show. The dancers were smokin hot - both female and male. There was this one girl who's behind literally looked like JLo's and Beyonce's had a butt baby on her rear-end. Probably fake but that Miami for ya!
Enjoyed the fun atmosphere, drinks were reasonably priced, the performers were awesome. Really hott idea for a venue!
Hot hot hot dancers on stage. The fact that they can move their hips and thrust their pelvic like that makes them hotx3.
Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's bachelorette while in Miami. Most people come for the show, but we got the dinner and show combo.
Dinner:
Came with a salad, entree, and ice cream. Salad was okay, but the entree was horrible. I went with the Shrimp Scampi, thinking you can't go wrong with pasta. Boy, was I wrong. It was so lemony. I ate just enough so that I wouldn't be hungry anymore. And they forgot to give us our ice cream. For the food, Mango's should be given two stars. But...
The Show:
You just can't stop watching them dance. The show alone gets four stars.
As a special add-on, my girlfriend was asked to come on stage with one of the male dancers. I won't go into details, but let's just say she couldn't stop talking about him.
Definitely a place to hit up for a bachelorette, but only after you have dinner elsewhere.
After the fiasco at Fat Tuesdays, I finally told my Sister I couldn't take this place anymore and we decided to walk up to Mangos. Â Of all the times I had been to South Beach, I never went it, but the music and dancers were always intriguing. Â We went here at about 2 in the morning and there was a cover of $20. Â I'm from NYC... that's the norm, so I paid and we were granted entrance. Â I guess because we were Black, the hostess thought we'd have a better time in the R&B/Hip-Hop/Reggae room located on the upper level, so she grabbed our hands and led the way. Â I wasn't mad. Â The lower level was playing nothing but Salsa.
The vibes in the place were totally different than from Fat Tuesday. Â Probably because Fat Tuesdays was free and there was a cover to get into Mangos. Â The attire, the crowd just the whole atmosphere was different and I loved it! Â I got a drink and let loose with my sister for her 21st birthday.
Actually went inside this time---and I loved it. It's a SIGNIFICANT difference between the Mango's experience from the outside and the experience on the inside---live entertainment, good music, and good food! AND this time, my food was warm. Ordered the "Ocean Burger" with their "signature" onion rings...delicious! My nonalcoholic drink was good too...something called Sunset blahblahidk
Now I feel like this is the only place in SoBe that I don't mind paying gratuity  for because you get live entertainment while you eat. Two for the price of one! Who can say no to that?
HE, HE!
BOGO HAPPY HOUR! This place is fun, the happy hour just pay double for one drink and they hand you two.
That's okay I still had a blast and revisited many times during my stay in Miami beach, enough to become duke lol.
As I travel back and from coast to coast I look forward to more visits at Mangos for drinks with my friends.
The bottle service is affordable and the food is only 3 stars but the drinks and show bump it up to four stars.
I recommend you eat somewhere else like News Cafe or Larios on the beach before you hit up Mango's for a drinks.
This place can really get you with those "buy 1 get 1 free" deals... and I'm using the word "deal" VERY LOOSELY here.
Like any other cheesy tourist trap, they're going to try and house you when it comes to pricing. This seems like a must-do if you're in South Beach and I really didn't see the big deal. There was the "buy 1 get 1 free" deal going, so I decided to go for the mango mojito. The drink was great. My party and I were served quickly and we had our drinks in no time. I enjoyed it very much and I can never complain when the bartender has a heavy hand. Lots of ice though. Too much ice. Almost too much to compensate for the fact that there was hardly any drink in my glass and just ice.
We came into Mango's about about 2pm and the dancers were out on the tables. Mind you, it was only 2pm so the outfits were a bit more conservative than usual and the dancing was not as raunchy, but still raunchy to an extent. It was cool- not exactly my scene, but it was entertaining. After the dancers had done their thing, there was a live band playing. In the midst of all this, our waitress kept checking up on us and made sure we got our fill when our first drink was done. She did a pretty good job with waiting on everyone, so I was pretty happy with the service.
Anyways, so the live band was out and they were pretty good. They did covers of songs and I think they had a couple of their own songs too. It was an R&B, island-type vibe and it was pretty good. I was serenaded by the lead vocals at one point, and needless to say, I was trying not to break eye contact with my boyfriend while I blushed.
Mango's is cool. It's an experience to be had once you're in South Beach, but I don't think it's a must-do. It is a cheesy tourist trap, so if you're willing to pay almost $50 for a "2 for 1" "deal" for two people, then this might be for you. If not, I'm sure you can find some less cheesy spots in Miami that will give you just as good of a drink for a fraction of the price.
It's really hard to explain this to anyone american, but Mango's is a very amusing scene. You would typically find this in latin american countries for tourists. The scene is as follows... latin entertainment (dancing, lip syncing, and music) along with drinks and food (which I would never eat) in a super touristy section right on Ocean drive. This place is constant laughter, but also annoyances, as there is only so long I can listen to this type of music. Â
Cheese factor is 120%, so don't come here if you don't want a completely cheesy scene. Did I mention to avoid eating here (along with everything else on Ocean drive for the most part)?
disgusting! I say that harshly as I can.
I wanted to like this place. But it just such a dirty tacky place. Upon walking in we saw a flock of indians staring at this women and just standing there wasting space. I mean its a dance floor you don't just stand and stare.
IDK if they turned off the AC but everyone and there momma was sweating up here.
I think the bartender was retarded, I pointed at the drink I wanted on the menu and she kept going que? ended up not drinking and left this place early to hit up
Clevelander!
DIRTIEST PLACE IN MIAMI. Take it how you want to take it.
Went to Mango's Restaurant on Ocean Drive in South Beach last Wednesday night with my family. Initially we were having a great time enjoying some drinks, a bite to eat and watching the nice performances. I should have known the night would not end pleasantly when my husband ordered a glass of water and was told by the waiter that they are not allowed to serve tap water!! Â We all thought it was just BS, but we let it go as we were trying to enjoy ourselves while visiting Miami.
However, before we finished eating our meal the waiter and bouncer proceeded to throw us out saying that the tables we were sitting at were reserved. Mind you, we had been sat there by the same waiter without any reservations just ~45min before!! In addition, there were 11 tables EMPTY outside and 4 other tables EMPTY inside AND we had not finished our drinks!!!! I have never been so ashamed of Miami hospitality IN MY LIFE! I never felt so unwanted anywhere! I will never be going back to that piece of crap restaurant! The food was mediocre and the service was terrible!
Came here on a Thursday night for a friends birthday and there was a $5 cover charge, even before midnight.
I'm not really into the spanish music scene, so we tried out the small hip hop room on the second floor. It was alright. I wanted to have a drink, but a Bud light was $8 and a Corona was $9.....I know it's the beach, but damn.
Females: Be prepared to get hit on by countless of latin men
If you're a lover of latin music, this place is for you. I probably won't be coming back, it's not my scene. However, I dropped my license on the floor and didn't realize till the next day that it was missing. I called Mangos to  check if they had it and they did. The lady on the phone spoke english and she was very nice. All I needed to do was bring in another form of ID to get my license back.
3 stars for their wonderful lost & found system!
Great spot to take 1st timers in Miami! Latin music, dancing on bars, but not Cowboy Ugly style, Latin style, and it turns out to be an all out good time. Be careful an afternoon drinking for two and your looking at $100 + bill.
What I like: Amazing dancers, eclectic atmosphere, all the walls are painted floor to ceiling and the drinks while they can get a bit pricy are about right for Ocean Drive.
What your really there to see are the amazing bodies of the dancers. Athletic and agile, the girls want to look like em and the guys want to be the ones dancing with em. Both are most likely not to happen but for an interesting stop on the beach you can imagine one way or the other.
A must for a new comer to SoBe.
My wife and I received and drank plastic shards which were laced in a Strawberry Daquiri, which proved to be a dagger in our trip to Mango's. Â Of course, we didn't drink the shards on purpose. Â
After the first gulp of liquid after a long day at the beach, we initially thought that they might have been thick pieces of ice, but upon inspection, the 1/4 inch long shards were everywhere in the cup.
The management dealt with the incident horribly. Â The bartenders confiscated the drink after we showed it to them and they tried to replace our drinks with the same drink. Â I asked the manager for compensated drinks along with a refund and he agreed and then I never got a refund. Â I had to ask for a refund a second time before it was received and then we were placed in the VIP area. Â
At that point, I began gagging on the shards that remained in my throat and we left the restaurant so that I could spend my night gagging on them some more. Â I post this with the hope that others do not go through the same experience. Â If it happens to you, consider keeping the cup and immediately calling the police.
