What People Are Saying About Conga Latin Bistro

The Editor

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 azauel de mariscos--a generous platter of shrimp, clams, mussels and crab.

DON'T GO THERE

by LESLY

THE PERSON AT CROWN PLAZA SAID THAT IT WAS CLOSE BY AND THAT WAS THE ONLY REASON WE WHENT. WHEN WE GOT THERE AND IT SEEM A LITTLE SHADY BUT WE DID NOT KNOW ANY OTHER PLACE TO GO THAT PLAYED LATIN MUSIC. BUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT SOMEONE PICKED OUR POCKETS AND ROBED US OF ALL OUR CASH. 250 BUCKS. WE GOT NO HELP FROM THE STAFF AND AFTER REFUSING TO LEAVE TILL WE GOT OUR STUFF BACK THE WALLET WITH ALL THE IDS AND CREDIT CARDS MAGICALLY APPEARED WITH NO CHASH OF COURSE. IT ENDED UP WITH ONE OF THE BARTENDERS AND STRANGELY ENOUGH THEY DID NOT KNOW WHO TOOK IT THERE OR WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.

  • Pros: NOTHING AT ALL- SO HORRIBLE
  • Cons: GOT ROBED BY THE STAFF

BEST SPAIN AND LATIN FOOD, GOOD MUSIC, AWESOME DRINK AND FRIENDLY SERVICE

by gata81

I admit that we was scared to go there, BUT IS THE ONLY PLACE INT TOWN MAKE PAELLAS. the place is really beatifull, the dinner area is separade of the bar are, so we have a quiet dinner, with good foo, the only that the waitress inform us that they make all fresh and we have to wait one hour for the paella, because for this dish we need to make a reservation. The was nothing when we eat this YUMMMMMMMMY FOOD, RICH AND TASTY, SAVORY THAT REMEMBER US YEAR AGO IN SPAIN. After that we stay for dance a litler bit and i learn to dance regeton, bachata and meremgue AT NO COST, because the cover is free when you make dinner. The restaurant service wasnt bad, but the bar service was excelent. The pretty dominican girl (angela) take care of us was so respectful and know a lot about drink, we doesnt have to think a lot about what we want to drink because she give us the direction. She make awesome drink for my group, a terrific martini and nice tropical cocktail. After that went we decide to go and pay she ask us about if we a need a cab and give us a freee water( house act) that nice things about bartenders!!!!!!!!!!care about customer.

SO WE COME BACK AGAIN.

PS we no saw any cop issue and we stay till closed.

WORST SERVICE & FOOD EVER

by dias1088

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 service spend your money elsewhere, I will not ever waste my money at a place like that again.

  • Cons: Service, disrespectful
