About the Business

Specialties

The sound of Mango's evolved into Afro-Latin Jazz, Salsa, Merengue, and a Brazilian Explosion,! Employees jumped on the bar to dance, and the customers came pouring in.! Soon the staff, many of whom were artists themselves, helped to establish the rich sensual Latin essence and exciting shows that you see at Mango's Tropical Cafe every day and every night.

History

Established in 1991.

In late 1990, David Wallack began to pursue his new dream - converting the residential Eastern Sun Property into a commercial mixed-use of hotel, retail shops, restaurants and a nightclub named Mango's Tropical Cafe, on Ocean Drive. Both The Eastern Sun Shoppes, and Mango's Tropical Cafe, opened in March 1991. Though an early concept for Mango's was a laid back Caribbean Island Rock and Reggae themed Bar, Miami was changing rapidly, as people from Cuba, the Caribbean, and Latin America came to call Miami home. Mango'sattracted culturally diverse employees and great Latin musicians.
