Mancora Ceviche is a very good purveyor of Peruvian-style ceviche. We stopped by for lunch while overnighting in Fort Lauderdale en route home. Stefano was our bartender, waiter, server, etc., and he did a great job. He explained the in and outs of Peruvian-style ceviche, as well as the Peruvian-style cocktails offered. We started with a same bowl of delicious roasted Peruvian corn nuts, very crunchy, tasty, more of a woody taste than corn. We also ordered a couple of Peruvian (pisco sour) cocktails, one original and one passion fruit. Both were good... but, for round two, we shared a loco coco, a coconut cocktail, featuring creme of coconut, lime, amaretto, blue curacao, vodka, and pineapple juice. Sweet, but good and refreshing! At Stefano's suggestion, we ordered the 305 Sampler, which included three ceviches (original, yellow spice, red spice), three causas (a potato based dish), and three choritos a la chalacas (mussels with pico de gallo). Check out the pic! All the food was good, but our favorites were the red and yellow spicy cheviches. All the ceviches were FULL of seafood, shrimp, mussels, calamari, fish, etc., very ample portions of everything. The potato dishes were good, with toppings of tuna, chicken and salmon, we liked the salmon the best. The "spoonfull" of mussels were good, all the veggies were super fresh. All the seafood was super fresh as well. We did not order it, but I got a good pic of the Trilogy of Ceviche, which was three martini glasses full of the ceviches and a plate full of fried seafood (called jalea). It looked great. Cannot personally vouch for the dish, but I'd order it if I am ever back that way again! Recommend you stop by Mancora Ceviche for a Peruvian spin on a classic Caribbean dish!
This is one of our go-to favorites on Fort Lauderdale Beach. The ceviche is excellent and there are a number of varieties to choose from. Lots of other Peruvian options as well but we always go for ceviche. Cold beers, good music, decent prices. What more do you need?
This restaurant is a gem. The food is SPECTACULAR, and the cocktails are equally delicious. The service is very good, and the prices are very reasonable. Perhaps the location isn't the best, especially at night when the atmosphere around it can get a bit heavy.
I came here on a normal Wednesday night at 7 PM. The restaurant was empty and there was one person working there. He was bartender/server/and waiter. He seated us and… we waited for about 45 minutes and he never approached us or took our orders. Another table didn’t get service at all. So after about 45 minutes we just got up and left. I won’t be returning to this place. Please do something about your service. There’s plenty of Peruvian restaurants.
Food is Delicious !!!!! A lot of seafood, Peruvian cuisine. Service is Great, they re very friendly. One of my fav restaurants around the beach. We locals love that place.
