Milton was so attentive. He made my party feel so special. He advised us of all the specials and the happy hour drinks. When you come ask for him. He’ll treat you like a king and queen. This place is amazing. The drinks and ambience were great

I went here to celebrate a birthday. It's my first time going to this place. The settings of this restaurant, are amazing! The atmosphere was lovely including the music . The service was also good. Food Wise, I'm Caribbean and my taste buds are pretty darn good. I order the oxtail with rice and beans.. there rice and beans are Spanish food. Not your regular Jamaican dish of rice and peas. I was disappointed by the Oxtail. No way it should be so tender to the point that it is hard to bite or chew. I felt like it was not cooked long enough. The season(gravy) on the oxtail was good(it can pass) but I must admit that I did not eat off the oxtail. The 2 oxtails I tried both were very difficult to bite and chew into. If I were to visit again, I definitely wouldn't get the oxtail again. The rice and beans was on point, it was very good.

Food was good along with presentation! Wait staff girls are beautiful and attentive especially if you have bottle service! Amazing vibes, music is tunes well where the bass isn't overbearing with the djs and or live singer. I had valet parking for $20 which is 100% worth it, not sure if its a weekend only or everyday deal. Security is on point, we had a disturbance and both men security in less than 2 min had the guy out of the business and guarded the door to avoid more trouble... they deserve props on it being seamless with no interruptions on the dj/music.

Took my girls to the kids brunch and it was decent. The girls enjoyed it . My toddler LOVED the characters . They had Moana, Sonic, Woody, Spiderman, and JJ (Cocomelon). She got to take photos with them. All characters were nice and acknowledged the kids. JJ and Woody went into the crowds / dining area to dance with the kids. They also had face painting which was also nice. Music was nice and they had two tables set up for food and one table for desserts. They also had the fancy milkshakes for a separate fee. I gave 3 stars because I wish there were more food options for the children. My two only had french fries and tenders. & you had to be on the lookout for when the waiter brings out the fries and chicken because it goes SUPER FAST being that thats what majority of the children eat. The dessert table could’ve had more options as well. & another small issue was getting into the place. You have to wait on a long line (it was pouring raining) wait to get checked in by ONE person. And then wait to get seated by somebody else. But those are small things . Just get there before your time!! Overall everything was fine. I didn’t expect for there to be soooo many people due to the rain but nope people still came out.. it was fun. Thank you!

Went on a Thursday night , the music theme was throwback hip hop & R&B. Food and service was great , they also offer hookah,a full bar, valet parking . It gets super crowded though. I didn’t like how people surrounded the tables while you’re having dinner. They’d lay their coats and drinks down on the back & sides of our booth. Otherwise it was a great time.

i attached the Lil Kim x Honeybby show in June 2025...it was a nice venue but Salsa con Fuego needs a better ventilation system. There's hardly any AC. - so ladies bring a lil hand held fan. You will not regret it. There's a bathroom attendant and the bathrooms are still dirty, they could be cleaner. The food and drinks are good. The valet parking is hectic and it takes awhile to get your car so be patient plus it cost $20 to valet park.

I havent eaten the food here..but if you want great music, fun atmosphere and variety this is the place, especially on Thursday nights. They have different events and artist all the time. I will definitely say that you'll have an amazing time if you come out
