One of the first stops for tourists in search of typical Miami flavor, this exuberant two-story Latin club is definitely high energy. Here you’ll find a colorful decor with illuminated palm trees, a veranda, paintings of tropical foliage in day-glo hues and a glam upstairs bar reminiscent of the Tropicana Club in Havana circa 1920.
At Mango's, the food has always taken a backseat to the scene. Live reggae and Latin bands as well as scantily-clad samba dancers and sexy tango dancers add to the allure. DJs spin a mix of reggaeton, merengue, salsa and bachata, and dance lessons are available. Another plus: the bartenders (most of them beach cuties) can dance a mambo on top of the bar as gracefully as they make a Banana Cabana cocktail. But if you go to dine, expect standard beach fare like chicken farfalle, Caribbean mahi mahi and a selection of steaks.
This place became famouse at the start of the SoBe scene, however to me in my own opinion its nothing but an over priced latin restaurant with skimpy women dancing on top of the bars, nothing to rage about here
