Get DirectionsAbout El Babalú
El Babalú sits on Río Lerma in Colonia Cuauhtémoc, part dance hall and part restaurant: there is a bar, and food is served. There is loud music at night. It is a small room, so getting there early matters.
Salsa carries most of the week, with bachata mixed in, and the doors open Tuesday through Saturday. A class runs earlier in the evening and the floor turns social once it finishes. Entry is 120 pesos and includes a drink. Live music turns up some nights.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the late ones, 8:30pm to 3am. One reviewer, travelling solo, described the instructor as friendly and the crowd as respectful.
