The best alcoholic drinks in the area I love your service
Great atmosphere, great music I love that people can really just have fun here as long as you have a love for dancing. There is a bar, but you don’t need a drink to have fun. :)Everyone is pretty friendly.The band was awesome! They were so talented. It sounded as good as the radio.The only down side is that parking gets packed fast.It would be great if Tropicana could expand since it’s in demand. ;)
Club goers salsa & meringue to live Latin music & DJs .
The music is the best.The parking is garbage.You will wait forever just to get served a drink. Unless you are right in front of the bartenders at the bar, you wont be attended.
Love this place for the musica!! can dance all night long!! Been there Saturdays only.
Best Latin club in Houston!!Now, if youre looking for cheap drinks and free parking please go elsewhere. If you want great music, excellent atmosphere and decent dance floor, well youve found the place. If youre cheap you belong elsewhere, and be a decent person and tip your waitress specially when you have a table. My waitress is Azeneth, shes awesome!!
Very friendly staff, nice place, great service cherry y jasmine
I was here about a month ago, and I absolutely loved the venue, and the bartenders, the girls at the bar were so nice to me and my friends, definitely will be coming back!
The best club in the area :)
Got robbed inside my purse this week! they stole my phones and credit cards! Plus the manager didnt care at all since when I asked to look at the camera, he told me the cameras are not filming everywhere, just the bar! and never called me back...so as a woman you better not get harassed in another spot than the bar, or too bad for you!
Great Music, Great place but, the music volume it too loud on the last couple times I’ve there...Bring it down couple notches like before and it’ll be perfect!
Price gouging. $20 to park, cover charge is $15, buckets are $40 and shot are $11. Just go to Neon Boots on Hempstead. Drinks are a fraction of the price and there is a much better mix of music. I will be notifying city inspector and BBB!
Good band and music however the bar was pathetic .. lady gave us the stink eye since we got there because we didnt want to leave our tab open since they kept the card.. the margarita was store bought junk and at about 100 dollars worth of drinks I ask fortap water and they say they cant cause they waste time e serving it. .Are you kidding me! By law an establishment is supposed to serve water if requested. Not a smile at that bar all night. Who wants to spend their hard earned money and get the treatment .. never spending a dime there again.
Would luv to check place
We came on a Thursday, so Im rating it on a Thursday, it was ok, was a little empty, ciroc red Berry with Sprite and cranberry was $10.50, long island was $12.50... they played a lot of salsa which was disappointing, we wanted meregue or bachata.... They charged $5 to park in a lot they dont own, it belongs to the shopping center, but at night time when the other stores are closed I guess they claim it? I didnt argue about 5 bucks, but found that a little weird...
Good atmosphere, nice settings for a night club just like someone would expect the night club to be. Music was good, both DJ and the band. Great dance floor, spacious. A lot of decent dancers. The only thing we did not like - the drinks were extremely expensive.
Ive been a customer for years for several reasons. Reason number one and most important, they play Salsa. If you like Salsa, this is the place to go. Not a huge dance floor but is not small either.The club has great management, never have had a bad experience here. Great atmosphere with groups of all ages/legal. No kids allowed, love that. If you like Latin music this is the club you want to go to.Look for me on the dance floor, thats were youll always find me. The only thing missing in this place is Cha..Cha..Cha, because they play a little of everything.
Great Latin dance club. Talented dancers and actual space to dance and not bump I to other couples. My go to place in the Houston area for salsa, merengue y bachata.
The club as is pretty good. Good music, environment, customer service, and drinks. I would say and I would like management to come up with a better parking solution. I arrived at 850 pm; was not sure if I wanted to stay or leave, but as stated before, I liked the Venue, reminded me of Miami, Fl.As I was leaving the club, this parking attendant gets on me and says you must pay $20. I told the guy that I had gotten there before the club even opened for the night, I ate in the restaurant next to it and everything.He took a picture of my license plate and said we are going to raquear (spanish word that I dont even know what it means) your car. I told the guy; you saw me arriving, you saw me parking, you did not at any point in time said I have to pay to park on a public shopping plaza.He said if you dont have money then come sundays...very rude, disrespectful, and very out of line.It was my first time there and not sure if I want to go back. I did enjoy the place though.Regardless of the parking situation, venue is pretty good.
Awesome music!! Security and atmosphere I came from Jersey to enjoy it with my friend and we had a blast!!!
Best salsa dance spot in Houston!
Venezuelan here. I have been around dancing Latino music, I can tell this place is LEGIT, amazing live music, salsa, Merengue and bachata !
I will be calling the police to let them know that Tropicana charges parking for a public shopping center lot. Lets see if they even file taxes for all that pure cash they steal.from patrons.Can we get receipts for your taxes even being filed??
Last night was a complete waste of driving time and money. There was no band, but still charged $15 plus parking. That was a rip-off. They didnt tell anyone that there was no band. I complained to the manager, but the guy was completely unresponsive. His sorry ass excuse was “the band cancelled”. Then, I asked “ why the $15 cover charge for and why there is no sign that there is no band tonight?” Even though I didn’t even set foot past the cashier because I saw that there was no band, they refused to give me my money back. They rip-off everyone last night. I will not be going there anymore. The place used to be $10 with a live band, then a year or so ago it increased to $12. This year they got even greedier and increased it to $15 (nothing added, no renovation, same old place and same routine weekend band). As a result, even on a good Saturday, the place is not even half full. People moved to other places, Which I applauded because the price is too high for what people get in return, plus parking and drinks. This is Houston for God’s sake. This manager should be fired because he is running the place to the ground. It used to be a good place. Now for a couple its easily added up to $100 for the night with cover charge, plus parking and drinks. That is NOT sustainable for the crowd that used to go there.Is the owner paying attention?
Had a great time
Went on a Tuesday while in Houston for work and had a great time. Admittedly I got there a little early, I was jetlagged and knew I would be falling asleep later in the evening. The place is in a little stripmall and I didnt know what to expect, I think they were still setting up when I arrived so I went and got some food before coming back. There were a few people there for the class so I changed shoes. Plenty of reserved cards on the tables but I found a place where I could stash them. $10 for entry including the class. The teacher was a nice guy and the class had a good mix of guys and girls. It was an intermediate class and he did his best to work with the beginners. Once that was over, the music started which was a mix of Salsa, Bachata and Merengue (yes to the first two, no to the last, but I cant expect my music all the time). As it got later and later, more people showed up and they were all good dancers. There was a birthday party that preferred dancing as a group, but for the most part, the dancers were all of good standard.Left just before midnight as more people were heading in, I should have stayed longer but I was getting far too tired to last much longer. Thanks for a good night!
Not New York...so get there early if you like Salsa. It starts to disappear as the night goes on..Good dancers are a rare find, however there are a few. I have been told this is the best Salsa spot Houston has to offer.
First time coming here it was a decent nice place.
Best place to dance without underage groups trying to get in the wrong stuff
Excellent service great place to dance and fun with your friends and family.
The place is good and the music ... But the service of the waiters is really bad.. If you are in a table you are forced to consume from them and is bad idea you go direct to the bar because they came to you and ask for leave because you are not consuming ..even you are having drinks on your table..
They dont have security. My car was scratched in the front and back side, plus another 4 more cars. We left early same that other 4 car owners. Thanks Tropicana
For all lovers of salsa dancing this is the place for you. One catch: the best night of the week is on Tuesday.If youre brave enough to go out on Tuesday night you will be sure to have a delight. All of the salsa dancers who take classes go here on Tuesday night for a good, fun, innocent time. What do I mean by innocent? No one is trying to hit on you or hook up. Everyone is there to practice dancing or whatever new move they recently learned at one of the many salsa studios in Houston.Its my favorite night and place to go out for a dance.But dont be afraid if youve never taken any classes. People are generally patient and understanding on this night just give them a heads up, because odds are they have been in your dancing shoes.
Went there on a Friday after work, like @10:00pm, pay the cover charge, $10.00. The music was fine, but no place to seat, every table with a reserved name on them. No bar stools around the bar. And of course the VIP area guarded like Fort Knox.
Great place to Latin dancing. The environment is nice and the dancing floor is big enough. Live music is good!
Love their live band
We went due to a friends raving review. She had a blast with her girls the first time they went....Our first mistake was to arrive with more guys than girls in the group. I was wearing a button up shirt, pants, and sneakers and nearly got kicked out because the bouncer thought I was wearing running shoes. I was not, and other men in the club were wearing dirty vans and shorts. Made no sense but once the bouncer saw he was losing a wealthy patron of i wasnt let in, they made an exception. Pretty upsetting right off the bat but we went in and bought drinks. The manager welcomed us and hoped we have a good time.Music was great, and we danced for about an hour until the same bouncer came back as a high school hero. He put a damper on our fun because my buddy was not dancing while on the dance floor... He was crossing the floor back from the restroom and was made felt like a criminal.My friends wife attempted to sit down after dancing a while and our same friend from the front came by, said that chair couldnt be sit on if it wasnt AT the table and pushed her off very rudely. Push men all you want but that is no way to treat a lady.Will definitely not come back. Dont go if youre not a girl; youll be on a slippery slope to begin with.
I really like this place because of Thursdays and Tuesdays nights. They teach you a little bit of Latin dances like Salsa and Bachata and if you are new to these dances, you would probably love it. Besides, Although the dance floor is pretty small, it is not bothering that much. The live band music which starts to play around 11 pm makes the club great. they are really good. I have not been there on weekends yet but, I strongly recommended for weekdays if you like dancing and a neat area. not creepy vibes. Drinks are moderate price.
This is a great place, a place where you can go with friends and also family, different cultures and they are awesome on customer service and attention, I want to end up by saying that the place is very clean and the best of all is that there isnt Hookah which keeps the place on a family environment.
Great Music! No youngsters causing problems. Waitress are great and attentive.
My friend got robbed at gunpoint twice in the same night. They have you pay for parking and no parking attendant there to watch the vehicles.
*** Do not go to this place**Its a total rip-off, lets just start with the parking, my fiancé and I drove all the way from Tomball to this horrible venue, we pulled up to the parking lot just to be told that they would charge us $20 to park close to the club and if we wanted we could choose a most modest pricing area in the back so we drove around and almost got hit by one of the valet parking attendant which was driving one of the customers vehicle at a rapid pace thru a steep ditch and not caring to bottom up this high end vehicle, once we got to the attendant he told me that they had 2 different prices depending where you wanted to park, so I paid him $10 and asked me to park way out in the back by a wooden fence where there is no lighting at all, so I asked him why I couldnt park close to the street since it was empty, his reply was you have to pay me $20 of you want to do that at that point I asked for my money back, we moved to a parking that was NOT connected to their lot and he came to tell me that I couldnt park there because it belonged to them also...he then thread me and told me that if I was going to get rough he would call the cops on me..I said please call them and I will be here seating and perhaps they could explain why was I asked to move out of a parking lot that belonged to a complete non related business.By that time my fiance and I decided to go elsewhere where we could be treateed with respect. I could imagine what the service is like inside! And after reading a lot of reviews,Im glad we made the decision of not ever setting foot in a place like this.If youre looking for a good place to dance please go elsewhere.
Great entertainment place
Great band. Beautiful room with a large bar and dance floor. Beautiful people.
The best hispanic nightclub so far. They play mostly salsa and bachata, my favorite. La gente super bella y y super good dancers, so if u are looking to dance all night like a professional or just better your technique and style this is your club. Ppl very nice a humble. Drinks like any good club a lil more than other places but they are good.
The “valet parking attendant “ was the worst. If you care for your car don’t use their “parking service “. The attendants are rude specially the one that takes care of the “lot “ behind the building. BIG RiP OFF!!
Perfect place for salsa lovers and dancing all night long. Great cocktails selection!
The best place to go dancing
Good music
The ambiance is really nice and everybody knows how to dance! The live band gives it a nice old school vive.
Good live music and DJ. Lively crowd...loved it!
Valet parking is good.Service is good.Totally the best salsa place in town.
The best place to dance salsa and merengue
Do u gotta pay to get in
Great live music!! Good times and if you want to break a sweat dancing Latin music, this is the place to go!
3 weeks ago enjoyed the atmosphere had a great time.
Drinks arent skimpy, they are extra loaded, the right amount for the price. Great live music around 11:15pm. Salsa,merengue,bachata. Very diverse.
Great music and theres always people on the dance floor for Latin Thursdays

Love this place. Always a fun party.
Classy, Everyone Dresses Nice, Very Diversed, Live Latin Music, Great Drinks
Thank you! I always have a great time here.
Parking is a pain and entry is a bit pricy. You have to pay to park, even on weekdays. The floor tends to get overcrowded very quickly.

Nice place...good people. ..great music. .

This started out as a tango lesson, and then after deciding to stay for more, it turned into hell. The live band was painfully loud. My ears were literally hurting, and I had to leave the building to escape damage to my hearing.
Good music
All parking is Valet only, $7
Love it
