Cafe Salsera

Worst experience ever. Over priced drinks. $20 to get past the line, even with it being so packed it’s a fire code violation! Ran out of limes and shot glasses for 3 patron shots for $46? So a giant cup with no salt, and an orange when asked for lime? No toilet paper in the woman’s bathrooms. Floors littered with napkins, per my husband the man’s bathrooms are littered with cocaine. You want a drink at the bar? Not happening. You have to squeeze past people just to sign and tip on a stationary tablet? They just let people stay at the bar counter instead of making room for people to order then have the audacity to charge $19 for two beers? I will be reporting them to code enforcement with photo and video evidence, and to my bank for services NOT rendered. I also had an employee stack dirty cups into my current drink. As someone who frequents deep ellum for the last 12yrs, this was the WORST experience. Come here if you dare, but be warned you have to physically push people to order or to even use the restrooms (which will have no toilet paper or cocaine). This bar is one of the reasons deep ellum is no longer the place to be. Also be prepared to deal with second hand marijuana on the “smoking” balcony. TLDR: over priced, disgusting, not staffed well, clientele has much to be desired.

Came to celebrate my birthday. Had dinner reservations/table and was there before it became a nightclub. Stayed and was enjoying ourselves until my table was bought out from under me for bottle service. Our tab was more but Cafe Salsera has client preferences on who they want in their club. Totally ruined my celebration. So I will never return for that reason only. Not once did a manager ever come speak with me. Waitresses wanted us to move so they could get tipped for automatic gratuity on bottle service. Shame on you....

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.

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 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!😤

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!

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.

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.
