    Ceviche D/Pescado
    Jenny B.

    Absolutely amazing, as always! The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is top-notch, and the Peruvian food is incredible. My Fettuccine a la Huancaína was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, the ceviche was perfectly fresh and delicious, and the drinks were spot on. Definitely one of my favorite places for authentic Peruvian cuisine!

    First I'll start with the look of the interior. Very beautiful decor. Second I'll describe the food. I ordered the Lomo saltado which is what I always get in Peruvian restaurants. While it was good, it wasn't the best I've had. For $38 I wish the portion would be a little bigger. I came here for happy hour also and got 2 drinks, the drinks were pretty good! $8 each. The food options on the happy hour seemed ok but nothing caught my eye. The other dish was a trio sampler with the fried rice, calamari and cerviche. Pretty decent. Had the tres leches for dessert, was good too but I've had better.

    Flawless experience here. It was our anniversary so they gave us a dessert with a candle on it. The inside looks fancy and the lighting gives it a great ambiance. My favorite items would have to be the ribeye and plantains. Everything was cooked to perfection and the green sauce that came with it was perfect for all the foods. The prices are reasonable as well which is a huge plus. I highly recommend the Ribeye here. We had a great time here!

    I came here for a holiday dinner. This place was amazing in addition to the authentic food. Affordable prices and good drinks. I recommend and I will be returning with my family.

    Amazing service, food, drinks and atmosphere. Mancora is a stunning new Peruvian cuisine Restobar and it was perfect from start to finish. Natalia our server was out of this world! She really took care of us and I felt like a princess being wined and dined with such delicious food and drinks. I loved the ceviche trio appetizers. They were so flavorful and fresh. And the Mancora tower with fried calamari, yucca fries, fried mussels and fish was just so beautiful and so yummy. But my tastebuds were the happiest with the fettuccine topped with filet, onions and grape tomatoes. This dish was absolutely divine! Dessert was spectacular too! A tres leches cake was just the right amount of sweetness I needed to end a fabulous meal and evening. I highly recommend Mancora! Best Peruvian restaurant in CT!

    Calamari

    Date night comes around and we roll the dice on someplace we've never tried before. First off, Mancora is gorgeous! If you're looking to get some good photos in, this is a good pick. We are quickly seated (which is why Monday nights are the best date nights!) and our server places canchita (Peruvian "popcorn") with a tasty sauce. We find out later from the server instructing the couple in the next table that people just dump the sauce in, while I wasted my time dipping individual kernels. It never hurts to ask! My wife orders the Rib Eye a lo Pobre (rib eye served with white rice, fried egg, French fries and plantains. Definitely carb heavy, but I helped her out! I ordered the Mancora Tower - on top was the jalea, which was a mix of fried seafood topped with red onions, and below is a nice bowl of ceviche, lined with 3 mussels topped with more ceviche toppings. It also came with two shots of tiger milk, which I had a taste of, and again it was more of the same acid/sour taste. My only regret is that I ordered fried calamari as an app (which was delicious, but my entree already had plenty of fried deliciousness). While the meal was fantastic, I wouldn't get this entree again as it's very acid forward. For dessert, we split the Choco Lucuma - I can't even begin to describe the flavor nor point at a lucuma in a line up, but it is good. I loved the interesting texture, which was like a firm cheesecake. If you're looking to be adventurous, definitely give Mancora a look!

    What a lovely surprise! My sister made reservations for our mother's birthday on a Monday, and even though the place was a bit quiet, we had an absolutely wonderful experience. The service was top-notch--one server was really running the show, and even with about four tables to manage, she was super attentive and incredibly friendly. The food was just spectacular. We kicked things off with the Máncora tower, which included jalea, ceviche, oysters, and two shots of leche de tigre. We also ordered the Bistec a lo pobre, featuring a delicious ribeye served with french fries, white rice, an egg, and sweet plantain. For dessert, we indulged in cheesecake and churros. The decor is so chic and totally Instagram-worthy! I had an amazing time and I can't wait to come back!

    Fried Calamari

    5 Stars! I cannot say enough good things about Mancora in Hartford! I came in during happy hour and it was the best decision ever. I wanted to get a real taste of Peru, and the happy hour menu made that easy -- and absolutely delicious. I ordered the Anticuchos, fried calamari, causa, and the ceviche sampler. Every single dish was outstanding! The Anticuchos were super tender and packed with smoky flavor. The calamari was perfectly crispy and light, not greasy at all. The causa was beautifully presented and had the perfect balance of textures and flavors. And the ceviche sampler? Fresh, vibrant, and full of bold, citrusy goodness -- hands down some of the best ceviche I've had. The vibe inside Mancora is lively but still cozy, and the service was excellent -- friendly and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of love and authenticity into every plate. If you're craving something different and seriously delicious, definitely check this place out. Mancora is a true hidden gem in Hartford and I can't wait to come back!

    I came to Màncora for the first time tonight with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. We started with the Ceviche De Pescado which was delicious, so flavorful and fresh. For my main I ordered the Jalea Piurana. The seafood was tender and presentation was beautiful. The drinks were also delicious! This was our first time trying Peruvian cuisine as we like to hop around and always try new places. We were very pleased with our experience here, and the atmosphere was delightful. Our server Julio was very attentive in taking care of us and giving us direction with the menu. Definitely a restaurant we will visit again!

    The inside

    A coworker raved about the delicious food at Máncora, so I knew where my friend and I would go for lunch this weekend. Máncora is a Peruvian restaurant that is located on the Wethersfield line of Hartford. I don't know about you, but as soon as I hear "Peru" or "Peruvian" I don't think of the adorable and very fluffy llamas, I immediately think of Ceviche! I love ceviche, but I very rarely have it. When we arrived at Máncora we were the first ones. It is pretty fancy inside. It is super clean, modern, fresh and new looking. Our waiter was very patient and knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of the menu. You didn't have to ask me twice, I knew what I was getting long before I saw the menu. But first, we got served cancha, crunchy deep fried corn. We decided to share Ceviche De Pescado and the Quinoa Salad. The ceviche was so light and refreshing. It was very acidic and lemony, with a substantial amount of tilapia, corn, cancha and sweet potatoes. The Quinoa Salad was also very light and refreshing, with a generous serving of avocado, tomato, greens and of course Quinoa. It was very fresh and colorful! We didn't look at the dessert menu this time, but I'm sure their Tres Leches is incredible! We had a great time chatting and enjoying the delicious food at Máncora!

    Oh my god . This place does not have enough recognition ! I love their food ! I haven't had a bad meal here yet and the service is so quick and attentive ! I had a girls dinner here and we took photos right in front of their sign. The ambiance is perfect for a special occasion dinner you will not regret it !

    Tacu Tacu En Salsa De Mariscos y seco d/pato

    Impressed with the ambiance, far more elegant than expected at the price point of entrees. Typical Peruvian offerings were split on: Passion Fruit Pisco Sour and chicha morada were both refreshing, fresh ceviché and causa de pollo were solid choices for appetizer. Our entrees were good, a duck entree and the special of Saturdays, tacu tacu - bean, rice and egg casserole adjacent to a creamy mix of shrimp, squid, fish and cheese. A nice treat while visiting the nearby Volleyball Hall of Fame.

After being dragged here once we've returned two more times and just enjoy the pure mayhem of it all. Irish-American folks and wannabees all running amok.

Our first go-around was in the company of a local celebrity -- the drinks came fast and kept coming. Several customers ambled over to meet & greet our friend. Next visit we went without him and yet found the service swift and the atmosphere quite friendly.

I informed you that because my dog is a service animal, she is permitted under ADA to accompany me in all public places. Charlie Brown, who was also at the door, then asked me the appropriate questions allowed under ADA, and after I responded, allowed me to enter the establishment with my service dog. However, after maybe 30 minutes, Mr. Brown approached me and asked that I leave the premises and return without my service dog. I declined this request since my service dog was not misbehaving in any way, barking incessantly or at all, and not being disruptive to any other patrons. After about another 30 minutes, Mr. Drouin approached me with Mr. Brown and demanded that I leave because according to him my dog was too young to be a service animal and therefore must be in training, and I was being disruptive by talking to patrons who asked me about my dog. I informed Mr. Drouin he was incorrect, that my service dog is fully trained to provide the service for which she is required, and the law does not prohibit me from interacting with patrons who approach me about my dog. He and Mr. Brown still demanded that I leave. I was with a group of five other people who all witnessed all of these exchanges. We all departed the establishment at that time. I have filed an official complaint #758150-TWD with the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division for this violation of 28 CFR Sec. 36.302(c). This violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act can result in civil penalties up to $75,000 for a first offense and $150,000 for a subsequent offense. Despite me informing these ignorant and insolent employees of this, they still demanded that I leave. I will also be filing a complaint with the State of Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities for this violation of CT General Statutes Sec. 46a-44 & 46a-64, which is a class C misdemeanor, which Mr. Drouin and Mr. Brown will be individually charged. I will also be contacting Mr. James Verano, the listed Principal for Pig's Eye Pub, and Mr. William (Bill) Morrissey, the listed Managing Member regarding these federal and state violations. I will also have my personal attorney contact Reid and Riege, PC, the listed agent for Pig's Eye Pub. Being denied service while accompanied by a service animal is illegal, humiliating, and emotionally draining experience that no one should have to endure. What these imbecilic employees did was not only illegal but morally reprehensible.

    "Kind of a drag When your baby don't love you"…read more(The Buckinghams) When one of your closest friends invites you to a drag show, you step out of your comfort zone and go! That's what eight of us did today as we headed over to Chez Est for a 90's themed "Brunch in Heels" featuring Loosey Laduca's crew of three singing and dancing drag queens. Loosey was the emcee, had an entertaining patter throughout the show, introduced the performers, and gave a stirring rendition of "the greatest song of the 90's" - My Heart will Go On from Titanic. So what other songs did we hear as the performers danced, did some bone cracking splits, strutted around the stage, and worked the crowd for tips? We heard Lady Marmalade by Li'l Kim, Lose My Breath by Destiny's Child, Let's Get Loud by J Lo, Barbie Girl by Aqua, Groove is in the Heart by Deee-Lite, Donatella by Lady Gaga, and Shoop by Salt-N-Pepa. We even heard a medley of 90's kiddie TV shows including Animaniacs and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The show was very entertaining and included an audience participation segment where birthday boys and girls crashed the stage for a dance-off and a beer chugging competition. Oh, and we also had brunch there -the food menu is very reasonable and ranged from $8 to $12 a plate for eggs, waffles, breakfast tacos and the like. Eight of us ate and drank for $300 including tip. That doesn't include the scores of singles we spent tipping the entertainers. I thought the staff at Chez Est was very accommodating and helped us move and consolidate our two tables so we had a better view of the stage. But even if you sit way in the back, the entertainers strut their stuff throughout the premises to hit every table, and there are a few strategically placed flat screens on the walls showing the stage action. It was quite a fun time.
