Great Atmosphere, Good Cocktails
I had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the dance floor was decent. We didn't order any food, but I really enjoyed the Margarita cocktail.
Initially, there were classes, and then regular club clients arrived and danced very well.

Horrible experience, broke my tooth!
My experience was truly terrible. I wanted to have dinner, but I found stones in my tacos and ended up losing one of my teeth. 😭

Horrible Experience with Drunk Manager
My experience at this restaurant was horrible. I have been a loyal customer for years and even brought international guests here. However, on my last visit, one of the managers was drunk and acted like a complete jerk towards my guest and myself.
This led to a horrible experience. There was a disagreement about the cover charge: one manager stated we didn't have to pay because we bought drinks, while the drunk manager insisted we did. Although we were willing to pay, his insulting behavior towards our group prompted us to leave immediately and vow never to return.
I hope no one else has to endure such an experience; I strongly advise against visiting this establishment and supporting these individuals.

An Unforgettable Salsa Experience!
You think you’ve seen salsa? Well, my friend, I’m here to inform you that you have not. The teacher here from Wednesday night is an absolute maestro.
I guarantee that it will be one of your best decisions in your life to visit or join a class. The food was a perfect complement to the experience, and the atmosphere was electric, contributing to an overall service score of 5. The price per person was a reasonable $20–30.

Bad Service Ruined Our Night
Last Saturday, my wife and I decided to spend a good night at El Valenciano. We arrived and sat at the bar, which surprisingly didn't have many people. However, it still took approximately 7 minutes for a bartender to acknowledge us.
When the bartender finally approached, they shook their head up, which was confusing. Trying to understand the gesture, I ordered two drinks: a Cosmo and an Old Fashioned. The bartender, with a very bad attitude, responded with "what?
". After I repeated my order, they turned around and left without a word. My wife then commented on the girl's poor attitude and service, suggesting we go elsewhere, and so we left.

Great Salsa Dancing Spot!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily because it's a great place to dance salsa. The people there truly know how to dance salsa on one and two.

Terrible Service, Okay Music
My experience at the restaurant was quite unpleasant, primarily due to the terrible service, especially from the bartenders. One bartender, described as a girl with large breasts and tattoos, provided very poor attention. The overall experience was totally unpleasant.
While the Latin music was good, the atmosphere was not very pleasant.

Fun Night with Great Atmosphere!
I came here with the guys on a Friday night and it was just so fun! We got to dance salsa and merengue with ladies from another table. It's okay to ask ladies out to the dance floor here.
The beers were good and cold! We had a blast!
