Best WLM Reviews

Wow, what a fun experience. While I've heard about the dancing at night, I decided to try it for their food. With great happy hour menus (there's a main one and one each day and different times 6-8, and 7-9), it offers a diverse selection of food.

I shared a Planchitas Sampler with one other person and it was a perfect amount of food. While usually not a fan of chicharrón, I really enjoyed theirs, but was not a big fan of the chicken. I did enjoy the yuca and plantains!

For the drinks, the Bichota is on the sweeter side but otherwise a fun drink and the one I'd recommend

What a great bar! they do salsa lessons in the basement and the place opens up over 3 stories. Great service and guaranteed a fun night.

Great place for dancing and meeting people. Been going there for 7 years off-and-on.

As of recently (5/4/24) - stay clear or be wary of petite short blonde bartender (on highest floor; although she probably rotates between the floors).

She bumped into a female customer and called security to handle the situation as opposed to apologizing and continuing about her business. Security asked customer to leave.

My friend needed water and we were told by our bartender we can not order water without purchasing another drink after we had already ordered drinks with the bartender. The service was not great and at one point i was almost charged $8 after going back and forth over a cup of water my friend needed. As a place that serves alcohol i would expect them to be able to spare a cup of water but all the bartenders cared about was trying to make us pay and refused us water AFTER already having drinks ordered

I went for the first time to Cafe Citron Friday night and the vibes were amazing! Stephanie was my dance partner the whole night from behind the bar. She made it so fun. 10/10 will be back

Visited August 2017 2nd best tamales on the planet next to my Mom!!! Hope you still offer them

Step Up Your Nightlife at Cafe Cintron: A Sizzling Experience of Free Salsa Lessons, Outstanding Food, and VIP Treatment!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Cintron in DC and I must say, it was an incredible experience! My fiancé and I attended the free salsa dance lessons, which were so much fun and really made our night memorable. We even got to celebrate her birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel like VIPs.

The food at Cafe Cintron was outstanding. Each dish was made with care and attention to detail, and the flavors were just perfect. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was top-notch. The menu is diverse, with options to suit every taste bud.

The music was another highlight of our visit. The ambiance was lively, and the selection of music kept us entertained throughout the night. We could not resist getting up and dancing to the rhythms of the Latin beats.

Overall, I highly recommend Cafe Cintron to anyone looking for a memorable night out in DC. The combination of great food, lively music, and friendly staff make it the perfect destination for any occasion. I will definitely be back and look forward to experiencing the amazing atmosphere all over again.

Came here for the beautiful decor and lively atmosphere but the food was surprisingly really great. I'm still thinking about that lomo saltado! Came here in a large group for dinner so we sat on the balcony. Drinks were strong and although the food took a while to come out, the lomo saltado, beef/chicken empanadas, and tacos were all great. Service was also great (I think being up in the balcony leads to more attentive service because the bartender is right next to you). Music is very loud so don't come here if you want to have a conversation, but the dancing started around 10-11.
