Lupe Cantina - A Mexican Modern Experience

On Saturday, February 19, 2011, I visited Lupe Cantina, a new and contemporary looking Mexican restaurant.  This venue is located on 18^th street, which used to be Sesto Senso.  Since there are other nightlife venues on the same block, it does make it harder for Lupe Cantina to stand out.  The night I visited, there was no line, however, there were long lines for the other venues.  Lupe is a newer spot compared to the other ones, which is probably the cause of the short line.  The evening was a slow start, however, once the dancers kept flowing in, the place was packed and the music was bumping with the hottest salsa, bachata, reggaeton and other mixes.   

However, with these minor setbacks, Lupe is still a spot to be recognized.  It is a restaurant by day and a Latin Dancing haven by night.  It has a Mexican theme to it and the outstanding décor supports it.  Once again, the drinks, especially the margaritas, made the night more popular and gave Lupe a real Mexican feeling along with its décor. 

Shout outs to my girls who took this journey with me.   They had some interesting comments to make:

“It was convenient that they had seating available.  DJ was ok.  Bartenders were nice.  Margaritas were even better.”  Iris

“I really enjoyed the look of the venue.  I LOVED that it was free.  The crowd was pretty small but the dj was pretty good.  Def a great place to go to for a good variety of margaritas. The feel is very Mexican tequila bar.” – Stacy

“The venue itself is very spacious and modern.” Karol

Check back soon for my next reveiw.
