Went on Halloween night for an event they hosted. I paid a ticket in advance, waited in line for over an hour, just for them to refuse us entry at 1:40am. Not an establishment I would trust. They don’t value you’re money spent or time invested to support their business. Truly a 0/10

My first complain

Only with the Falsa advertisement of romantic music this Sunday at 7:30 my reservation was for 645 dinner for live music at 7:30 which one person showed up with the equipment. It was 9:30 PM and still waiting for the music to start on a Sunday night. Finally got up to leave but went up to the musician and told him that it’s was a lack of respect that, even though they were not many people there they still advertised that they were going to play while they were sitting around on the lounge area, not respecting that there were a few people there waiting for them to play as they were told that was starting at 7:30 Very disrespectful from their part so don’t go on Sunday When they say they have live music at 7:30, which is not gonna happen if it’s not a full place, so Forget a romantic evening on a Sunfay evening with this band oh they also said the singer has not arrived it was 9:45 when we left and they close at 11pm
Shame on them 😡

Don’t go on Sunday don’t wast your time if it’s for this band 😡 romantic yea right 🤬

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A hidden gem! The food was full of flavor and the sushi had that perfect Latin twist. The staff was friendly, the cocktails during happy hour were top-tier, and the live salsa band on the weekend created the perfect atmosphere. Can’t wait to go again with friends!

Wow.. the drinks were so good, and the fusion menu really interesting. I came on a Saturday to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was a whole vibe!!!

Just a tip: if you’re looking for a more relaxed dinner experience, go before the salsa band starts (around 7:30 PM) or on a weekday! We’ve been there on a Tuesday and this time we got there at 5 PM and it honestly felt like a more fun ambience when the band starts, both great in their own way! We were there to have fun, but I noticed some reviews that seemed a bit misleading because they kind of generalized the whole experience, when in reality, the band takes short breaks every 30 minutes, so the “loudness” stays balanced. Come on, It’s salsa, it’s meant to make you move! The vibe was amazing, and their birthday packages made everything super easy for our group!

Live music is cool but you still need to be able to hear yourself think and speak. Like Jesus y’all. Not trying to lose my voice over a meal. We had to scream to hear each other.

The staff was also using LED spotlights to capture Instagram content next to us at prime dinner hour, consistently shining it at us…what a lovely ambiance. Additionally, they use iPads as menus. We hadn’t even ordered yet and the hostess took them…not to give to another table, just to put them back at the hostess stand. This + the ridiculously loud music makes this place literally the worst choice to try to enjoy a social dinner.

Whoever is rating this well must be high. The food is not good. 3/4 people hated their meals and no one comes to check on you. 0/0 service.

This is a dance hall that happens to serve food (mediocre food) and needs to be marketed as such.

Worst place I’ve ever been. The music was so loud that it was impossible to speak. Staff was nonexistent. They took our iPad menus before we even ordered. Staff was there instagramming food in high def LEDs blinding us. Food was terrible. Never come here.

This place was horrendous. The food is mid a best and the live music was so loud that it was more of a negative than a positive. I can’t stress enough that I would never go back.

I went with my family to celebrate my mother’s birthday and I have no regrets. We all enjoyed ourselves so much. We enjoyed our first family brunch and thanks to Aura Cocina there will be many more to come. This is a beautiful restaurant with the best staff. They are all so patient and informative. The hospitality is on point. The food was prepared to perfection. Thank you!!! I will be telling all of my friends and family about you all. Prepare for more business.

This place has gone down since I’ve been last. It was empty and the service was not good. We ordered appetizers Octopus and Oxtail dumplings both were bland and tasted weird. So we decided to leave after that
