Baraza:
CLOSED: The laid-back fantasia of this cash-only Latino lair is a little bit Desi Arnaz and a little bit Mattel, with random Barbie dolls suspended from the ceiling. Does Ken know about this? DJs drop funky Latin beats nightly that fuel throngs of revelers rubbing up against each other in the tight quarters while downing mojitos. An outdoor space offers the chance to cool off post-fiesta. It would be a shame not to make out with your new Latin lover in the dimly lit back lounge. Who knows—after enough margaritas, he might look like Antonio Banderas. Don’t miss the free BBQs in the summer.
I have to disagree about the annoying door, it’s very easy to get in, and most nights they don’t even have a bouncer. It’s a neat place for some fun salsa dancing with the girlfriends. I’ve been several times and the drinks are always yummy, especially the Mojitos, and it’s always fun to dance the night away with your friends.
