About Cafe Citron

Cafe Citron offers a variety of dishes, including yucca fries, pork chicharron, and beef empanadas. While the pork has been noted as overcooked and dry, and the beef empanada was served cold, the Citron Buffalo Wings had a promising start but were mostly undercooked, raising health concerns. On a positive note, the white rice and black beans have received good feedback. Although the service and food are generally great, the mandatory 20% tip policy and a smelly basement with a "mildew" smell have been pointed out as drawbacks.

The atmosphere is lively, with free salsa dancing lessons in the basement, contributing to an enjoyable experience. Customers have remarked on the good vibe and music, although the service can be very slow, with items often forgotten. Some have advised against the chips and dips, describing them as subpar.

The space features multiple levels, each with a different vibe and music, making it a decent spot for drinks and dancing, even if the shots are pricey. While the crowd can sometimes be rowdy, the overall atmosphere makes it a place worth returning to, especially for a night out.
