Latin Venues/Events in DC Area?
05-30-2011, 09:49 PM
Anyone ever swoop Latina chicks in the DC area? I live in Montgomery County, and i saw quite a few cuties this weekend.
There's a website called KestaDC.com and a nightclub called Rio Cantina in Sterling, VA of all places.
However, since i'm not Latino, i'm a little intimidated in trying to visit one of these places, and trying to swoop chicks and one of these venues.
There seems to be a lot of Latinas in the Wheaton area, the Springfield/Woodbridge area and some near Gaithersburg and Herndon.
I also heard that Cafe Citron has a pretty Latin crowd.
Finally, anyone have any good strategies to hit on local Latinas? I see quite a few in Wheaton and up and down Georgia Avenue. Local Hispanics seem not to mix AT ALL with non-Hispanics.

I used to do the Salsa scene a few years back but got tired of it. There are a few latinas at the Salsa nights but the majority are gringos who love Salsa or are trying to learn. I think your best best would be Cuba Libre in Adams Morgan on one of the nights they do Salsa. I haven't been to a purely latino club in DC although I know they exist. Never heard of the spot you mentioned in Sterling. There is or was a latin club on Connecticut Ave close to K St.
My problem with the DC area latinos is that for me, they are the wrong type of latinos. I prefer Colombianas, Brasilieras, Boricuas, Cubanas, Venezolanas, and Dominicanas. DC is full of Peruanas, Bolivianas, Salvadorenas, y Nicaracenses.
If you get out there let us know what you found and how it was.

Cafe Citron is closed at the moment. I think there is some issue with their liquor license. Really sucks because that was one of the few good pickup spots left in the South of Dupont area.

Yup. This is a big problem. That's why you rarely see any dime looking Latin chics around here. Especially the ones with nice PHAT assess.
Cafe Citron was closed due to a number of alcohol/violence related incidents that occurred within & outside the club. No word on when/if they'll be re-opening.

Lima has its salsa night on Monday. Went once and it had mostly overweight Central American women who thought they were all that.

Isn't there a heavy latin spot in Adams Morgan right on 18th and Columbia?
Habana Village? or something?
I remember the place had great energy. Great girls, not so much.
Anyone been lately?

Though (from what I hear) it usually tends to attract more amateur white girls and wannabe PUAs, there's a free hour of beginner level salsa at Lucky Strike in Chinatown (below the movie theater) on Sunday nights. I've yet to go, but I hear there is usually some mixed talent.

There used to be a place called Agua Ardiente in Foggy Bottom - much classier than Cafe Citron. But it was only full on certan nights, whereas Citron was generally banging all the time.
Not sure if it's still around, but worth checking out.

Save your money and go to NYC or Miami or better yet get a plane ticket to Latin America. DC Sucks

So I get this bright idea to google El Salvadorian restro's in D.C. A handful popped up, with a place called Restaurant Judy sort of in the center. I got pretty excited and was ready to announce this wonderful find.....then I read this part of the forum. I'm suddenly filled w/ a feeling of hopelessness.

The restaurants seems to do well. There's a Peruvian spot in Gburg, great food, a little pricey, usually the only gringo in the joint, save a guy who married a Peruvian girl.

There's a place south of Dupont... just on the corner with Connecticut and K called Bravo Bravo. That place is 100% Latino.. authentic, but the quality isn't very high.
Out of 100 girls, there's probably 5/6 swoopable ones.
That said, the male competition is so lame there, I think you can score if you just show up. I never stay that long to find out though.
