On the outskirts of town, this vibrant neighborhood salsa place is as authentic as it gets. Take a seat in one of the vintage booths beneath the hundreds of old LPs, plastic toys and portaits of salsa heroes that are plastered all over the walls and ceiling. It's in a rough neighborhood; get a taxi (COP$8000) right to the door.
