The best place to dance salsa and to listen to authentic salsa. Please come!

One of the most emblematic places for salsa back in the day. The real place was/ is in Caracas. El Mani was the birthplace for many rhythms in salsa, and singers like Oscar de Leon, the fania stars, and more. We are blessed to have those roots here in Miami.

It’s a place to dance real salsa, I mean this is not a tourist place like the one in …. You know those...

The place is ok for a bluemoon visit, i went for dinner dinner level is basically like TGI fridays but in cuban cuisine. Very limited fish options 🤔 food was ok but tasted like precooked premade dish. I also stayed for Salsa dancing 🕺💃 it was also ok the cater to cuban style but the dj played a little boricua style salsa , for real dancers i only recommend that if you go you take a partner because not alot of dancers BYOD! this also was mostly a older crowd 30-65 😳...

I would highly recommend this place for dancing to live salsa music. They have a large bar and plenty of seating. However, you must reserve a table (at least on the weekend). We had a large party and despite our reservation we were still given a smaller table than what we asked for, and we just had to make it work. My friends ordered some food. I didn't try it, but they didn't complain. I think what really shines at this place is the atmosphere, live band, and dancing....
