HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE

by MzSanchez26

Here is what my friends expierence was:

I had the worst experience due to the way the club was ran that night. I reserved a table through the club two weeks before saturday night. When I did they told me I was booked at table 21. When I arrived they sat me at my table then about 20 minutes later told me they were moving me because someone rented out that entire section. When I complained about the situation one of the waitresses says and I quote, " Well, money talks. They payed more for these tables."

So, I asked to speak with some one in charge. Then they brought over some dude that goes by "D", and he basically says the same thing he tells me that the person who rented my table payed $400 versus my $200. Then he told me that he would cater to me all night and whenever I came back I wouldnt have to pay for entry. But when my friends and I try to order food off of the menu he tells us that he will only give us a round of drinks.

Then, after I explain to him that it was my birthday and they were ruining my night he says to me and I quote, "You should be happy that you have a table, either you take it or you can leave." So I told him I wanted to speak to someone other than him, so he tells me, "If you talk to management there will not listen to you you will be put out."

So after the ordeal with with him I ask our waitress to bring someone else for me to speak to. As we are waiting this guy we dont know comes by our table and snatches our bottle off of the table. We try to get it back from him when all his friends come and surround me and my cousin. Security sees the whole thing and dosnt budge.

So by time the owner gets to our table I tell him about what happen and hes trying to slick talk me into dropping the issue. Im furious and trying to explain to him the situation n he sits there like I dnt have a reason to be upset. So Im crying because my night is ruined. So were arguing back and forth with him, when he gets up and goes downstairs. I go down there n try to explain the situation to another group of ppl that work there including security. Its basically 4am by time we leave. The only good thing out of that night was the fact that they realized that they were wrong and let me go without paying.

I will never go there again

Save yourself from the experience of Tatou Salsa Nights

by SoCaliLady

I consider myself an experienced salsera and club-goer. I've been doing this since 1995. My girlfriends and I went to Tatou on 2/6/2009 for salsa dancing and expected 3 of our friends to show up a little later in the evening. It was the worst experience I've EVER had.

First of all, I called in advance to find out when the club opened and when lessons started. I was told doors open @ 8pm. We got there a little after 8pm and they didn't let us in, allowing us to get drenched in the rain and insisting that they would let us in @ 9pm. After a little begging, they let us in around 8:40pm. Gee - thanks.

The guy, Carlos, hosting the salsa night is a complete and total nut job. There is something off about that guy. My intuition tells me he is a wife-beater, or someone who would choke a woman if she spoke out of turn. Total creep!!!! He kept on insisting that we take the salsa lessons and when we didn't comply, he became a little too aggressive for my taste.

Our 3 friends showed up, but they wouldn't let them in based on "Dress Code", which I found odd. They were not wearing anything out of the ordinary. These are 3 of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet...good boys. In fact, everyone inside the club had on jeans and tennis shoes, for the most part. My theory is that the bouncer wanted to get some sort of bribe. I guess they weren't concerned about bringing the body count of the club up to a total of 10 people.

We left shortly thereafter, wanting those last 2 hours of our lives back.

Never again!
