I AM a fan but recommend eating ahead of time.. food: not worth it! It is very expensive and very bland, in my opinion. HOWEVER.. we were there for the Salsa lessons which were very entertaining indeed. There is a teacher Cinnamon (as another person pointed out, that is his actual name) who is fantastic at getting everyone involved and teaching you the steps slowly.. if you are like me, you still can't really dance but the point is fun, right? You switch up partners a bit.. at first I wasn't so sure about this idea, but it was actually quite amusing to see how each person dances a bit differently. Some of those guys are pretty good at it and make it easy for a girl! I brought a church group here.. would do so again but would probably organize elsewhere to eat ahead of time and just pay the cover $10 on saturday to get in the door.. I'd rather spend $10 on the dancing than on the food. Oh yeah.. when you are looking for it.. the ONLY THING on the sign is a giant E.. I didn't find it for a while, myself.

I didn't eat so I can't review the food (but my friends did and said the food was good). It looks super small on the outside and kind of hard to find - and the new map app on my iphone pointed me in the wrong direction which didn't help. However, the dance instructor was pretty great and the music is very good. Partners are plentiful on a Sat night as long as you're not picky (ahem... it's an older male crowd). It was costume night the night we went, so there were some pretty decent costumes out there. All in all, it was an enjoyable night. :)

I don't go to this place for the food....I go to dance. If you love to dance, this is the place to be. One of many salsa clubs in the suburbs, I think that this one is probably the best outside of the city. For one, they have a fabulous teacher who gives a salsa lesson on Tuesday and Saturday nights. Cinnamon (his real name) will make you laugh and make you look awesome out on the dance floor. The bartenders are good and friendly, but drinks aren't the cheapest. If you go on Tuesday, they do have some specials that soften the blow. If you go on a Saturday, the cover is $10, on Tuesdays it is $5 which is a little pricey considering that you can get it for the same or less at many clubs in the city which are much better. However, if you are looking to learn or to go out and have a great night of dancing and you are in the area - this is a great place to go, you will have fun.

If you have made da move from da city to da burbs & are looking for a salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia, type atmosphere this is da place to be. With out having to drive into da city. I was here on a Saturday for bachata night & it was a great night. Its a mixed crowd of younger & older. But the older crowd is definetly a strong presence. Which is a plus & everyone is there for one thing. That is to dance. Definetly a place to be go if u need ur latin music & dance fix. I gave it 5 stars for da night club, i am not sure about da food. From what they tell me da food is good. Going to have to try it next time.

No Stars if I can... We were provided a gift certificate to Esteban's via Restaurant.com good until June of 2010. We ordered a couple of drinks and appetizers; the place was pretty empty, its probably more for the dancing and music, but they bill themselves as a restaurant. The waitress was pleasant enough. The food was not good. Soggy quesadillas and bland empenadas. I've had much better empenadas for $1 in New Jersey. Then we tried to pay the bill. The manager told us we can't use the certificate for $25; he said its under new ownership and they don't accept these. He told us this is listed on their web site (its not). Then he had the nerve to ask us for our certificate (which was useless there anyway) so he could post it on the wall to tell other's its worthless. We told him no. Then when we they delivered the check they gave us a little leather American Express thing for the credit card. They promptly came back and told me they don't take Amex. I asked why they had Amex on the notebook thing, but all he did was say he's sorry once again. After my wife told him we won't be coming back he just left. No offerings of a free dessert or a discount, nothing. I guess they don't want customers. We don't recommend this establishment.

On Your Mark Get Set GROW! I had a great time at Estaban's last night there was a comedy show and though all of the comedians were good Jay Deep was off the chain. The place wasn't packed but there was enough of us there to have a wonderful time. The service was awesome and I will be going back for the line dancing classes; I heard they are fun fun fun!

I go swing dancing here every wednesday night that I'm in town and 2 wednesdays a month they have live swing bands. Free lessons as well from carl linder which are always fun and very helpful. Drinks are a little overpriced but if you're there for the dancing you'll have a great time.

Just went for swing dancing last night (Wednesday, $7 cover) with a couple friends and I had a blast! It was my first time, but the teachers were funny and really clear with their instructions, plus there was a wide range of skill levels, so I felt comfortable being a newbie. After the hour lesson, I danced basically the whole time! I never waited around for a dance partner for more than a minute! It was so fun to dance with experienced swing dancers. I can't wait to go back and get better! Tip for fellow females: Wear a twirly skirt...it makes spinning way more fun!!

I recently had an event at Esteban's. It was for my best friend's bachelorette party. All I gotta say is that I was disappointed. The reason why I gave them 4 stars is because I love going dancing on Tuesday's when they have salsa night, and the food is VERY good (I was born and raised in Mexico, I know my mexican food). But I was truly disappointed with the customer service and lack of ambience. I had booked the place for a Friday night to have dinner (buffet $20/person), get a private area for the party and get to dance to house music before the hip hop started at 10:30 pm. When we got there at about 7:45, the place was empty (which I didn't mind because we did have games planned and wanted the bachelorette to be able to open her gifts). I waited until about 8:10 to inquire about the buffet. Once I talked to the girl (in charge??) she was very rude and told me buffet was supposed to be served at 7:30. I explained there was a lot of traffic and that's why we were a bit late. She was very snotty and mentioned that the kitchen closed at 9 pm... I reminded her that it was only 8:10... She continued to be rude and asked if we *really* wanted to eat dinner. I said yes, she continued to be rude, I reminded her that I had already paid for the deposit and two dinners. She mentioned that it didn't matter because sometimes people just didn't show up even after paying the deposit. Now, I don't see how their previous experiences with customers that don't show up is my problem... So I invited we were all very hungry and were expecting food. She walked away very very reluctantly to do her job. I am not a difficult customer (I do work retail and in customer service, so I try to be as kind as possible when put in situations like this), but I thought this deserved a review on Yelp. We ended up leaving at about 10 pm because there was NO music, not even background music... (The manager told me at about 9 pm, after having asked for music a couple of times, that their sound system was broken and we would have to wait until the DJ for ANOTHER event happening that night arrived...). Needless to say, there was no dancing for us. What a shame.. A place known for its dancing atmosphere...

Came for the dancing on saturday and was pleasantly surprised. Ive been to plenty of studios and clubs for latin dancing and havent met as friendly and boisterous of a group. Heard that this was a venue for regulars that were talented dancers, so I'll definitely be back.
(5)Tamara M.
I'm not sure what the hype is but I guess that's just me. It's mediocre at best. The food was more like a basic taco take out joint. But I assume people go there for the dancing considering the fact that there is a big dance floor inside of this place.. I wasn't a fan, I don't think I will be back. Ehhh I can find better places to eat at then here... But I gave two stars just because of the friendly service...

Ordered delivery for lunch today and the service was great. I have been there once before for lunch and was not impressed. Today the food was fantastic and delivery was very fast. Can't wait to visit again for some dancing!

This is purely for the bachata Thursday's. Fun and a nice crowd of Latinos, drinks are pretty good. Seating is plenty and I was able to leave my purse unattended to go dance. A fun night for sure!

We have fond memories of visiting The Mexican Grille when we lived very close by, and since we moved away haven't been able to visit. Well we finally got our chance when a group from our Church decided to come here for a fun outing learning to dance salsa--it was fun! I was very happy to see this expansion from Mexican Grille into Esteban's, a dance and dinner hall. There isn't much signage to identify Esteban's so look for the Mexican Grille and then a great big E to the right of it. That's Esteban's. There are a few Puerto Rican and Mexican specialties for a quick nibble, but the food wasn't served hot and the selection you chose from is not as good as I would have preferred. Perhaps have a full meal before heading here and just order some items to share. I believe there is a cover charge if you're only here to dance vs. eat, but that may be worth it since the food isn't that exciting anyway. I did like my tostones, since I hadn't had some for a loooong time. The dance instructor, Cinnamon, is a choreographer and gives straight forward and humorous instructions to a huge room full of people, creating an environment of organized, attentive students. I enjoyed seeing more professional dancers do their thing from the sidelines after giving my salsa steps a little workout. After dancing a couple of times with your partner, you are then asked to switch partners, which can be daunting as practice levels vary from the very new (overly enthusiastic or dull) to the proficient instructor/dancer (knows their stuff, you're in good hands). It's as good a place for people watching as it is for dance lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed the music selection from the live DJ and the dance instruction. I had a good time and would love to come back again. The parking lot can get a little full on snowy evenings. Margaritas the size of your head! Full bar is also available. The owner is very friendly and comes by to say hi and introduce himself. The staff is friendly but hard to get a hold of sometimes to get refills or order something.

Bachata Thursdays for $8 admission. The dance floor is small and can get very crowded as the night goes on. But the music is good and there's always talented dancers who can maneuver the close quarters well. I love coming here, there's always new people and you never stay seated for long.

A group of us visited this place on a Saturday to try our hand out the Salsa dancing. When we entered the door, there was nobody manning the booth where you were expecting to pay the cover. We walked around and a bouncer flagged us down and let us know the girl would be right back. Thankfully, he was professional about it and didn't insinuate that we weren't trying to pay. As for the crowd that mostly frequents this place, it is late 20's thru 50's. There's a decent ratio of guys to gals, so finding a dance partner isn't that hard. Attached to the dance club is a small Mexican taquira, but they close early, so get your eats in before hitting the floor or prepare to stop elsewhere. The dancing was a lot of fun and they have a large floor to practice your moves on. Our party had a good time there spinning around, however the music was too loud. You had to shout to be heard and even then, it wasn't a sure thing. The music should complement the dance, correct, not cause hearing damage!? The bar portion of this club is unremarkable. The server did make a large mojito for $8 with fresh mint which was tasty, but extremely watered down. I could have been drinking Limeaid and not noticed the difference. Weak pours for a drink out in Naperville and still charging $8 seems spendy if you ask me. Parking can be hard to find at this place as well, so just be prepared if pay them a visit.

Cute place. I can't comment on the food because I just came to celebrate my friends birthday and enjoy a night dancing. I'm not much of a dancer, but I sure do enjoy watching. There were free salsa dance lessons before opening the floor for open dancing. The guy who was teaching was witty and of course a fabulous dancer. The music was great, and they even had an actual dance-off. Great fun! I liked the crowd there that night. It was a great mix of ages and cultures. Nobody can feel out of place there. There was another birthday that night...a regular named Dave. Dave had a huge sheet cake, and shared with everybody in the place. Nice people, good time.

This is definitely the place to be if your looking to have a good time to dance! On Tuesdays they have Salsa lessons and on Thursdays they have Bachata. The price is only 5 dollars to get in and might I add it's very well worth it. Classes start at 8:00 and they finish at 9:00, however after the class the DJ usually does freestyle. Usually playing everything from Merengue to Cumbia to Bachata and Salsa. I love it! Everyone goes for one thing and one thing only DANCE. I've only went a couple of times but I might just become a regular.

I really liked this place. I went for the salsa lesson last weekend and it was a ton of fun. The teacher is funny and makes you laugh...so the lesson ends up being a good experience. The food was good...fresh and tasty. The waitress mistakenly forgot my entree so she took it off my bill. I wasn't upset, didn't ask her to do it but the fact that she acknowledged it means service is important to these people. Definitely will recommend this place!

You can decide if you want to seek out this Latin lair after reading. For our large party of 15ish people, service started out great. Two waiters greeted us, chatted us up, and took our drink orders quickly and efficiently, which may or may not have had to do with the fact that we were 1 of 2 tables occupying the restaurant at the time. Great start. ...And it all went downhill from there. The food took way too long to come out, something like 45 minutes, and with only a few tables dining in. Strike one. Not only that, but my rice was cold, and my sauteed chicken was lukewarm at best. You take that long to produce the food, and it better be something worth enjoying. The mojito tasted watered down. Strike two. A small entree portion definitely NOT worth $16, and we're at strike three. But after our food arrived, the two waiters - who seemed to really occupy the roles of bartenders - literally disappeared and apparently tended at the bar for the remainder of the night. What. the. hell. It was nice that they originally offered to provide us split checks for our meals, but that was negated by having to hunt down personnel behind the bar to pay for our subpar meal. Poor, poor organization, and since when have you ever dined somewhere and been left waiterless? The ups: free salsa lessons from 9-10pm with dinner reservations, and live music afterwards. (So to find Esteban's on Rt. 59, know that if you see the BP gas station, you've gone too far south. A better landmark would be Wendy's: Esteban's hides right behind it in a strip mall.)

Don't recommend this place for FOOD. BUT I do recommend for Latin dancing :) great selection of music and it is pretty spacious as well. Previous Latin dance lessons if you need to available :)

Saturday nights at Estebans Diningdancing is like being at a Salsa dance with 100+ people you work with, and you know about 20 of them pretty good (and like them)... and you all dance, and have a few drinks, and party, and laugh, and enjoy, and you are all on a 5 HOUR VACATION! I get completely surrounded by the experience. It's the WHOLE PACKAGE! The bar staff it fun, skilled and QUICK! The DJ's are excellent. The crowd is all ages and very friendly!
(5)Fernando C.
The restaurant has a good selection of Latin based foods with a great selection of alcoholic drinks . During the week and on the weekends Esteban's host various dance lessons for beginners to the advanced dancer.

I was a little worried from the former negative reviews but took a chance and had 20 people for a party here last week-end. I received nothing but great service and attention. The dance lessons were a riot, everyone there was extremely nice and the best people watching around. We all had a wonderful, wonderful time and I'd definitely go back again -- fun, fun, fun!!
