Salsatheque Discotheque and Restaurant is all that and a bag of tortilla chips. Since its opening last May, the nightclub often has been labeled as a purely Latin club. But the truth is owner Ruben Montalvo has been crafting a private club that caters to all nationalities and races by offering a diverse range of music and drinks. On Wednesday nights, the club offers poetry and jazz sessions, in which people can read aloud their deepest thoughts from a podium on the sunken dance floor as a disco ball spins quietly above. Not that there aren't booties shaking.
Black people love to salsa.
We're very passionate. Montalvo routinely brings in Latin disc jockeys from hotbeds like Florida and New York for Latin club night. The quality of the Latin music is over the head of most gringos, but those in the know say it's first-rate. Music is muy importante. Salsatheque's decor makes the place as versatile as a high school gymnasium on prom night except that Montalvo has spared little expense.
