Last fall, Mango’s Tropical Café on I-Drive in Orlando opened a separate fine dining restaurant called Corazón By Baires (which we loved).. And now, they’re expanding further with KALI Dining Room at Corazón by Baires, which will open to the public on May 15, 2025.

There may be a lot of choices for foodies along I-Drive, but Corazón by Baires has just opened, and it’s quickly become one of Orlando’s most impressive debuts, along with one of the best dines I’ve had in a while.

Orlando’s own Mango’s Tropical Café and South Florida’s Baires Grill have announced they are partnering on Corazón by Baires, a new restaurant concept slated to open on International Drive in Orlando on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.

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.

To help better promote their offerings during the pandemic, several I-Drive businesses have banded together to form the Orlando Entertainment District.

Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining Month, sponsored by American Express, returns Aug. 25 – Oct. 1 with an unprecedented number of restaurants, each offering a three-course, prix fixe dinner menu for just $35 per person.
Celebrating its 12th year, the popular dining promotion offers over 100 restaurants throughout the Orlando area for local foodies or visiting gourmands who are looking to try out a local favorite or one of the hottest new venues added to Orlando’s growing culinary scene.
