Cafe Cocomo written up in USA Today: one of the top-10 Salsa Spots in the country! 7-24-2003

"With a décor described as "palm tree ambience," this is a "really fun spot, with two levels and outdoor patio dancing. Lessons are offered Thursdays and Saturdays, with a live band after 10 p.m." Features include waterfalls, tiki huts, outdoor bars and a strict dress code: no T-shirts, jeans, athletic apparel or sports caps."

Hear what the Zagat Guides to San Francisco Nightlife 2002 and 2003 and 2004, 2007 says about Cafe Cocomo:
This "cavernous" Potrero Hill "hot salsa spot" provides "terrific space for dancing" and features "scintillating" local bands, "fabulous instructors", a strict dress code (no jeans or sneakers) and a "friendly diverse crowd"; a few wallflowers whine it gets packed and has "hokey", "prom-style" decor, but dancing fools rejoin that's what makes it a "unique SF experience". The 2007 Nightlife guide has new reviews but they do mention the lessons again and how it is a great place to "get your salsa on" !
We were the only instructors noted in the Zagat Nightlife Guide! --Jake
