Editorial Review for Elvia's Cantina – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The smallish space looks more like a restaurant than a dance hall, but kick a few chairs out of the way and you've got the space to bust a move, Latin-style. Diners come in for dinner and then work off their sumptuous, not-too-pricey meal with some sultry dancing. Fixtures on the monthly calendar are Ka-Che; Walter Suhr and Mango Punch; Mi Rumba, who specialize in merengue and salsa; and Batacha, for salsa with a Cuban flavor.

Really, my thing is when you decide to go out, think of enjoying ureself regardless of whose minute and who didnt speak english,etc.make it workfor you. I greatly recommend Wednesday night, the band is great I would never complain bout the drinks being strong coz you save money and you still get youre high. The crowd is fun everyone is extremely lovely, Once in a while you may bump into someone that werent really nice to you but it dont mean all days are like that.For anyone who feels negatively its acceptable but you probably went on a wrong day and you may wanna try it out again, WEDNESDAY, I wouldnt recommend Friday,but Saturday is pretty gud if ure a bachata/merengue fun.for the most part no bad experiences with the exception of it being small. ooooh they redid the dance floor which is a good step.

Wow, talk about a place that went from classy to trashy in several years!!! The last time I went there was like 5 years ago. My cousin and I went there sat night and both of us were shocked. The place looks so trashy now. The dance floor has moved and it's so little, literally about 5 couples can dance on it and thats about it. The drinks are so strong that after 1 pina colada, you feel like youv'e had 5 tequlia shots. The place has too many youngins, they don't check for ID's, and it reminds me of a quincera. The only thing that's good is the music (Mi Rumba), very good live band. At the end of the night, all those youngins were throwing up, and some of them threw up right at the exit door GROSS!!!! Back then, it was classy, older crowd, and decent people. I'm never going back there again. But, if youre 16-20 and want to go to a club that doesn't check for ID's then this is your place.
Pros: Mi Rumba live band
Cons: too many youngins, drinks too strong, trashy people, small dance floor
