Tapas Flavors of Spain is the type of Latin club you want to go to if you'd like to actually hear yourself talk. Fridays and Saturdays are hot, with a mix of flamenco, salsa and bachata.

If you're a little new to the Latin dancing scene, Tapas offers salsa lessons followed by plenty of time to show off your new moves. Even better, if you are tired and just want to kick up your dancing feet and enjoy the Latin food, Tapas will deliver!

El Calor
2916 W. Lincoln Ave.
Anaheim, CA 92801
(714) 527-8873

El Calor will fulfill your urge for a simple and traditional dance hall, providing authentic Mexican music and an intimate setting for dancing. While providing mostly Cumbia on the weekends, Wednesday through Sunday is guaranteed to entertain those looking for any style of Latin music. Even better, go on your birthday or bring someone celebrating theirs, as those that bring the birthday party to El Calor will get a free bottle of bubbly. Each holiday inspires the club to have a themed night at least once a month, which always mixes up the experience.
El Mexicanisimo
2323 W. 1st St.
Santa Ana, CA 92703
(714) 836-7410
A trip to Mexicanisimo will take care of all of the divey needs you may have when it comes to a night on the town. With a smaller dance floor and lower lighting, this place is not going to wow you with glitz and glamour. Instead, it offers a small cover charge and occasional live music. The Facebook page for the club stays more up to date than the official site, so keep up with it on the web to see the latest special musical guests or other events. This is definitely the place to go if you need less Top 40 and more original material as your dancing soundtrack.
