I think it lived up to its promise. There was a very varied musical offering (and crowd).

The sound was great and so were the songs.

I would say that they need to crank up the air conditioning in their though and maybe mix in some more contemporary and left-field songs to match all the great Latin classics they played.

I’ll be back

Couldn’t give any negative comments. Great music, fantastic DJ, good crowd, and everything any latin music lover would love. A great night out that I would give a thumbs up for anyone to go.

Check it out once and you’ll be hooked and telling all your friends about it. I give you my word - for a cool club with a great vibe, go to Manteca. Anyone who has a streak of latin spirit has not experienced life in London until they visit Manteca!
