WORST SERVICE & FOOD EVER – I went to this restaurant for my friend's b-day party. The waitresses were so rude and disrespectful they threw menus on the tables and were so impatient when it came to ordering. The food was tasteless and prepared quickly. When we were about done the waitress called my friend (who was the birthday girl) snobby because she simply asked the waitress a specific question about the bill . No server should ever call a customer SNOBBY when they ask a question about the bill. Please if you want good ser... read more
If you like the show "Cops" its a fun place to hang! – I work a block away from this place and there is a constant police presence. I have also witnessed fights and police trying to stop them. If you value your life think twice. In fact last night at closing was another incident with over 8 cop cars involved. Sounds like fun huh? Lets clean up this area that could be much more.
Gross – So we only go to conga for dancing when we feel like getting drunk and acting retarded. The crowd there is full of creepy men and nasty girls. There is a ton of white people there who came for dinner and stayed to make fools out of themselves. I can not imagine eating there! I know what I have done and seen be done on those tables.... LOL The bouncers there are pathetic and I would be scared for my life if I saw one of them in a dark alley. They are unproffesional and kinda perverse.
Best Latin food I've had in MN – I stopped here on Thursday for dinner before another event in the area. It was early and the atmosphere was low key. Some flamenco dancing entertainment started up while I was there. I ordered a rum p*unch, and to my surprise got two because of happy hour - fortune was mine. I got a pork dish in a rich sauce with a heap of mashed plaintain stuff in the middle. Very tasty. The best Latin food I've ever had was Versailles Cuban Restaurant in the Cheviot Hills area of Los Angeles. Conga doesn't ... read more
The food fits at this salsa club-cum-bistro, but it's the dancing that keeps the place packed. – In Short This prime corner in Northeast Minneapolis--half bar/dance floor, half bistro--has drums everywhere, including two oversize congas flanking the entrance to the dining room. Expect to hear some Spanish spoken at nearby tables and even a few dark-haired beauties as gracious servers. The menu's Latin accent includes traditional croquetas and empanadas, as well as a spicy garlic soup. Entrees range from fried pork to the aza... read more
must go – great place to have a good time with friends. if you like dancing mixed latin music i highly recomend you to go there. the male bartenders are a blast. raul, makes the best drinks. i have a balst when i go there! the food is ok and they have great appetizers well seasoned dominican style fried chicken, tostones rellenos, ceviche... yummi..but not as yummi as the bartender. hope they he stays there forever, i've been there when he is not working and is not the same.. Anyhow if you want to have a great time go to con... read more
very close to home – Great food great music and please... for the ones who say this place is bland... give me a break! maybe your tate buds are just dead from all the hot sauce you pour over your food... there is quite a difference between flavor and heat... Coming from a true Cuban... This is as close to my mothers cooking as it gets!!!! The dance floor, yes it is packed but if you are not used to salsa dancing, then you just don't understand... this is the place to learn. there is always someone more than happy to teach yo... read more
A Fun night out! – If you like salsa music, and a fun, lively atmosphere, this place is the best! This place is very unique and you won't even feel like you're in the twin cities! A tip if you just want to dine: arrive before 9:30, else there is a TEN DOLLAR COVER CHARGE if you want a table in the dance floor area!! Which is the place to be in my opinion! Now the negative stuff: the server was very nice, although she was also very slow. And, the food wasn't anything special. Overall, even though we spent over $50 for a meal ... read more
You get more than what you pay for – After reading past reviews, I had the impression that this place would offer lavish urbane ambient. I surprisingly found that this is not the case particularly in the dining area. It was still sophisticated but in an authentic-cozy-unpretentious sense. This corresponds with the food also. Everything was plated nicely. We enjoyed the empanadas a lot and it seems to be everybody's favorite. A friend who is a Colombian praised the Yuca Con Mojo and his Arroz Camarones although he would have ... read more
