★★★★★ 5.0 Alex Maranon · Aug 2025

Very impressed with the food, drinks and service. All hits and no misses. Definitely worth it! Oh and the Flan was the best I’ve had in a while.

Please give this place a try. I didn't eat here, but I'll tell you what I did do! I have always loved the movie "Dance with me." I always wished I could be an official Latina because of that movie. I'm not, but I always wished. Well, this visit...was AMAZING. I was twirled and danced and loved the live music, and I felt the excitement from the drums and my heart pounded. I was finally living my fantasy. So I went back again... even better the second time. I danced with a glass of wine in my hand, which I was told by an actual person of Spanish heritage, is impressive. I was happy to hear it. BUT dancing salsa hurt my legs soooo much. Those ladies are strong and beautiful. I want to officially learn how to do it (I mimic well) and go back. My heart belongs to Cuba. I just know it.

Horrible experience, do not waste your time going there. False advertisement with DJs stating that they were going to play certain music genres like Bachata, disco Cumbia, Arabic beats and Afrobeats and more and all they played was Reggaeton. staff were also unfriendly best to stay away and not waste your time and money and go somewhere else.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My friends brought me here and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The music was absolutely on point and created such a fun energy. The vibe was perfect 🥰 — a great balance of lively and welcoming. Definitely a place I’d come back to again and again!

This restaurant is located in a fun and lively area, in the heart of the Adams Morgan District. We ordered the Franguin and Camarão a baiana, both dishes were delicious and fueled us for a night of Latin dancing. At 10pm the tables are removed and the restaurant is turned into a dance floor featuring a live band. Highly recommend for a night of Salsa.
