Rafi FreeNovember 17, 2014Get early by metro or if you drive. Now parking is crazy due to construction...so get their in rush hour and park if you drive but what the meters. The drinks are good and so is the music...

Wil PesanteFebruary 24, 2013Get a mojito with an exotic flavor. The Mango and Blueberry Mojito's was my favorite. But they have several other variety's and they are all delicious. Definitely mix it up a little. T
Daniel ParrottaJune 15, 2013Restaurant by day, hot latin groove by night. Be prepared for busy crowd during happy hour (til 7:30). Manager (Juanita?) Was great. We will definitely be back again soon.- Jackie CitronSeptember 28, 2015Love the latin social scene monday free bachata class 8:30 &KIZOMBE class 9:30 wednsday free salsa class 7:30 free bachata 9 & cuban salsa in vip.

Arun RamachandranDecember 13, 2014It's 4 dance floors each playing their own music, mostly Salsa, Reggaetone, Bachata and Dancepop. There's good crowd beyond 12 on the weekends. But it's not your regular Salsa place.
Washington PostAugust 1, 2014Price Points: Beers and cocktails are discounted at happy hour (4 to 7:30 Monday through Friday), meaning $3 for a Sagres beer from Portugal or $5 for a mango mojito. Read more
This place has amazing happy hour specials, both food and drink, and the staff are all fantastic. I cannot get enough of this place.
Go to Cafe Citron on Thursdays for the Sevillanas show at 7:30pm and 8:30pm featuring flamenco dancer Jason Vera y Aragón and female guest.
Dara FisherDecember 27, 2012One of my favorite happy hour spots (even if they did raise their prices)...best cheap margarita/mojito I've found in DC!
Serena WattersAugust 14, 2013Nice atmosphere, quaint upper level for small groups was perfect. Good music. After work fun, check.- SUPER nachos are DELICIOUS. Also try the Caribbean spicy chicken wings and the fried platanos during happy hour. It's a great balance between spicy and sweet.
Sophia HSeptember 3, 2017Awesome dance floor and the crowd was pretty good (mostly nice, decent guys).
The Mojitos here are among the best anywhere. The nachos are also unusually excellent. Lina is a great bartender here.
Melissa MonsalveOctober 18, 2014Come here to dance all damn night. It's the Latin music cure for you.
Andrea NewlandOctober 13, 2010Free Salsa lessons...do not care for their drinks, but food is good..Argentinian/Brazilian food....tables are topped with Bongos after hours and you can play them...fun!
Maria D'VerasAugust 10, 2012Music is very mix, not really too much space to dance, but if you don't mind...overall is a nice place to hang out
- Make sure to try the Lean Green Mojito made with VeeV Acai Spirit! So refreshing and lower in calories...
Ask Omar or Martin for a shot. They are the best bartenders here.
Vince WilliamsDecember 30, 2010The Bronz Salmon dinner was awesome. So were the Mango mojito's. Definitely try both!
You come to cafe citron to dance your pants off. (weekends)
Get Phil as ur bartender. He is amazing and sweet.
- potato cakes, ceviche and caribbean wings are good here. taquitos weren't as crispy and flavored for my taste
- Make sure to try the Skinny Acai Mojito with VeeV. Its amazing!
- house margarita and spicy caribbean chicken wings are awesome!

"Grab a burger and a show (two birds, one stone) at DC9 with one of the bar’s burgers such as “The Eloise;” it's decked out with caramelized onions, a Parmesan crisp, and porcini ketchup."

"The heated patio is an oasis. The grill is cooking up some yummy fare and the cook Kevin is incredibly personable. Upstairs heated patio is an incredible spot for group outings. Great vibe!"
