Cafe Salsera - Dallas/Ft Worth AP

I’ve been to the restaurant before and really enjoyed myself, but this visit was completely different. Our waitress was very slow in taking our order and bringing our food. Surprised on how long everything took especially since we were there very early and way before the crowds showed up. One of the dishes had to be sent back twice because it came out wrong. It felt like we were a bother to her so decided it was best just to leave the restaurant and go somewhere else.

Awful food! Nice people, but the main interest was the meal, which was worse than bad

Completely awful. We had dinner Sunday night and the place was empty. The server never asked us for drinks, we had to ask her. She was not around, so we had to wait for everything. One menu smelled of dirty dish water, another menu was missing half of the menu, and another menu was completely empty. 4 people shared one menu. The floor was sticky, as if it needed to be mopped and cleaned. The food was not good. The halibut was overcooked. It was dry and chewy. The polenta cake (in the mole dish) was extremely dry and tasteless. This visit, our first one there, was completely awful and not worth the $80 that we spent.

Came to dance to salsa/latin music for my birthday. They play great salsa 10-11-ish, but no one was dancing yet. Then it switched to mostly latin pop and other pop/dance music. They included a few more merengues, but it's definitely not a salsa dancing venue that attracts salsa dancers. Was more hopeful they would still have a live salsa band, but they said people prefer DJs. If they could improve the quality of their interior, have shows and great cuban food, it would be more what I'm looking for, but Dallas does not have a great salsa scene. Therefore, it was good enough for what we wanted to do. We had fun! They also changed it so we were up in the VIP section for our 10pm reservation, which was great until they asked us to leave before 12. They were nice about letting us stay since we didn't intend to stay too late, but we would have just kept our tables on the floor if we had known we would be kicked out at a certain time. (we did not eat there)

Good food! Water was never filled and it was freezing! In fairness, we didn't ask them to make it warmer. Nice waitress.
