The Conga Latin Bistro is a lively Latino joint popular for live music and great gourmet island food ($10-60 entrées, average $15). The Conga is a large restaurant/nightclub bar that has multiple levels and offers many different atmospheres. Dine quiet and casually with your date while watching a live dance performance, or, get in the action yourself by hitting the dance floor with an attractive Latin regular.

The crowd is a racially mixed, young (21-30), well-dressed group that comes to take advantage of the fun atmosphere and non-stop dancing. Dancing is the highlight of the Conga, but its something everyone can feel comfortable doing, even if you aren’t used to “shaking your bon-bon�? like Ricky Martin.

PARKING is found for $2 at the corner lot or Free at the bank lot after 5pm. Meters go until 10pm.

THRIFTY TIPTuesday – Saturday features a bucket (6) of Corona for $18 from 10pm – Close.

Here's the key. Go here for Happy Hour! Their Conga drinks are awesome and you get half off a ton of tasty appetizers. My business partners and I go here multiple times a month.

Nothing Great. Servers are kind of greasy looking and not very good at serving. Drinks are okay but not worth a special trip to check out.

This place has a bar atmosphere, but the high-quality and imaginative food was a pleasant surprise. We found the staff friendly (including the bartender & bouncer) and the dancing lively. Lots of couples, but also plenty of singles wanting to dance.

Food was okay, but service was some of the worst i've ever experienced. Riuned my friend's birthday. no good... so no good that we also won't even step foot in their other restaurant El Meson.

Many unfair reviews on this terrific restaurant. This is the greatest Latin food in the City. Service is not bad, it is good. You don't need to be coked up either, have never seen any coke or dealing myself. PS. Drug dealers are everywhere.
