    This place is terrible for dancing at night. The security takes bribes waited over an hour in line and people were able to get to the front and pay the securities pictured above $20 just to get in. I was waiting in front of the door for 20 minutes and they let in 35 people in front of me. Why make a line?? Just charge cover at that point. Don’t waste your time in this line go somewhere else. The place across the street cheap stakes has the same music and is way better.

    This place has the best potential. It could be so much more if it was cleaner. We sat on the balcony and it was terrible. It was slow to get anything. We waited 30 minutes for our drinks. Our table was sticky and so was the floor. My food was cold and had paper stuck to my bacon, it looked and tasted amazing but I wasn't really upset until I found the hair in my food! They compensated me the meal that I didn't finish.

    We went there after hours for the dancing! They had cumbias, RnB and a Spanish mix the whole time.. we had a great time! If you want to dance the night away, this is your place to go!

    PACKED LIKE A CAN OF SARDINES! Visited from out of town and some friends wanted to go out on the night. Ended up in line for this place. It took a good hour to reach the front of the line. Once you get in it is so packed that there is no room to enjoy it. Can’t dance, can’t walk, can hardly wiggle. I was a bit disappointed, but the music was great!

    0 stars if I could! Worst experience ever! First and last time coming here. Security by the restrooms was rude and aggressive. He was cussing at my boyfriend and his friends to move out the way once my bf said to not cuss at him respectfully the security grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him towards the crowd screaming and cussing in his face! I didn’t get the securities name but he was chubby, pale, had a beard and had glasses around 5’5 tall. There was no reason for the security to be aggressive.

    Went there yesterday asked for 2 tequila and pineapple juice, the bartender poured me 2 expensive tequilas that I didn't ask for, when I told her I wanted well tequila she angrily threw the drinks in the sink. she gave me straight pineapple juice. No liquor. When I told wait staff about it they only compensated half a shot. I paid $27 for pineapple juice

    So far I haven't tried any food, but the staff is always friendly. What really draws me here is typically they have Salsa lessons for like $5 per person (fyi. This whole Deep Ellum area has parking fees for most of the parking @$10 per. Car). But so far the Salsera has been good. And has a nice old feel to it. I'll update when I have some food and let you know there how it goes. Edit 3/21/19 Come pretty often, still a great place food is decent priced and has pretty good flavor, portions are good also.

    This is the worst place on this earth. Do not ever go to this place, and I’m serious, this motherfuc!!!!!!! Told us that we have to leave the table because someone was paying more money for our table, even though we already paid about $300.00 in shots and beer. Do not go to this place

    Drinks were horrible, even basic drinks. Service from people on the floor was completely unacceptable, they were extremely rude! I'm not usually a person write reviews but this establishment was, as a whole, a place that needs to be avoided.

    Drinks are horrible and staff is the most hostile people I’ve ever seen in the service industry. I’d strongly suggest looking at your management (Diana) and who you have behind the bar.

    They take bribe to allow customers inside. Security are too worst teasing girls. We almost waited for 2 hours in the line to get inside but security takes bribes to allow girls inside. Dance floor is not so great. Tooo worst experience. Not at all wroth it. Worst thing to visit in Dallas. 🤧

    You need to get there before 11:30pm if you want to enter, if not prepare to stand in line until someone decides to leave. It gets a bit crowded but if you're nlt claustophobic then you'll be fine. The drinks are pretty nice and the employees are on Point taking care of the empty cups and beer cans.

  • 1/5 Irving F. 1 year ago on Google
    Do not get bottle service here!!!! Went on Sunday 1/1 with 6 other people. As most know, the bouncers will let you skip the line for $20 each. Well on Sunday, the only way you could skip the line was by buying a bottle. We got the bottle and waited 1 hour for it!!! They close at 2am and we got it at 12:40am! We asked at least twice while waiting and they kept saying it was on its way. Needless to say it killed our mood and we were there to celebrate a birthday. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

    I went on a Sunday night. The music was ok and a mix of reggaeton, cumbia, hip hop, but the DJ was doing absolutely way too much. He needs to let the music play. He was playing popular songs and cutting them wayyy too early. Ruined the hype of the songs

  • 1/5 Yojana R. 3 months ago on Google New
    This place was horrible! I reserved a table for my birthday, in the stage and had a party of 13 people. We ended up being kicked out all because we were not going to buy a $400 dollar bottle, that I could have bought at a store for 40 dollars! My friends that sat at another table downstairs were also kicked out because of the same thing! My friends left because the felt discriminated!!! Really !!! We spent close to 400 dollars on food and drinks which would have been a stupid bottle! The servers looked horrible, and gave a terrible service! Overall I am not coming back to this unwelcoming, disgusting, low class,horrible place!!! Good luck if anyone decides to choose this place!😤

    I would leave zero stars if I could. Taking the time to make a reservation ahead of time online is worth less. Time of arrival they will rip you off into buying bottles and section/table. Plus they charge a $95 fee after 10pm that I was never aware of ahead of time. In the past 3 months of making reservations never was there a requirement of buying a bottle or never was it stated online. Definitely poor management. And not worth the time/money. Save it for elsewhere with better food, music, environment, cleanliness, and management. Trust me.

  • 5/5 Dallas T. 1 year ago on Google
    I don’t know about the last couple of reviews but I had a really good time enjoyed the music and the bottles! There was a fight but security quickly broke it up.

    Great place to come hang out Friday or Saturday. This place used to be the best place to come dance. But now it feels like the crowed just wants to stand around and vibe....

  • 5/5 Ricardo V. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to go and have fun; regueton and Latin music! Definitely great cocktails! Try the 7 tequilas something like that! It’s blue! You gonna have fun! And you know what I lost my cellphone with a check bill and they gave them to me back!
