Dallas Latino Cultural Center

Soooo...I was going to wait until I re-visited this place before I reviewed, but I don't know if I'll actually be back, so I'll go ahead and review now and possibly update it later. I'm from San Diego, I'm fluent in Spanish and I dig Mexican culture. That being sad, I was really looking forward to coming here and have had it bookmarked for months. Man, I was sooo bummed out by my visit.So glad I came solo instead of with out of town guests. I don't know what I thought I was going to see, but I think the reviews increased my expectation or something. Maybe I should have came on a weekend instead of weekday? I don't know. I know they have events though, I didn't come on one of those days. I'm seriously hoping I can update this review.It didn't take long to browse everything. There was a room full of statues and then an exhibit with this month's featured artist. Now, learning about him was cool, but overall something was missing and it just all felt like a waste of space. Like they just had things on the wall to stay open, ya know?However, If you're planning an event and looking to reserve the space, it's pretty nice in that aspect. The colors are true to Mexican culture and the architect did a nice job. There's also a parking lot. Sadly, I dug the outside more than the inside. Gratefully, it was free. I don't have much else to say other than that.

Coming from Miami, I am overjoyed to have found the Latin Cultural Center. My first show "Your Healing is Killing me" with Virgina Grise was simply amazing! It was easy to find the center and park, even with some construction issues in the area. The theatre was intimate and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful; I felt at home! There is so much creativity happening at the Latino Cultural Center, I'll be there over and over again!

Sadly, I was not able to go inside as the day I visited the center itself was closed. Then why the 5 stars you ask? Because as I was driving by I saw the B _ G sign out front. It was greatly placed in front of their purple walls. It made for a cool picture! Since the center was closed we were able to park right next to it for the photo op.

The good Love the entrance design as i look around openness is welcoming. As i entered the theater and took my seat the stage is nice and open Nice. The area in Deep Ellum is inviting. And the dart runs right in front Great the orange and purple will have you saying hummmmmm!!! Nice. Nice Job. I will be back The bad... By looking from outside you would not image the view inside love the entrance. The sound is ok inside the theater. If you ever called now that can be a issue just voice message sooooo... The ugly... I have no comment nothing ugly about it

After the kids had a bad experience with another downtown camp (see my older reviews). I was referred to Latino Cultural Center. They have wonderful camps for kids. It has been an awesome experience. I truly don't have to worry. Staff is competent and kind. I drive from Cedar Hill. I wouldn't have it any other way. Hugs and thanks to staff.

I went last Saturday to two exhibitions: one about the history of Morelos, a mexican hero that fought on the Independence War and the other one was about mexican photography. Both excellent exhibitions and the staff was really friendly. The arquitecture of this place also is a good representation of contemporary mexican, a nice job by Legorreta.Hope they have more exhibits in the future as good as this ones.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot I can say about this venue. However I can tell you the main auditorium caters to 300 people. It's not too bad but by looking on the outside you'd think the place could accommodate much more. They do have a parking lot on the side of live oak street which is great if you're in deep ellum. (For those of you who know deep ellum, you'll know that getting parking around that area can be difficult most times without paying $5.00 at least) I love the engineering design.. Well, I guess I had more to say about it than I thought. Go me!

I went to the "festival de verano" event last saturday. Bottom line, don't waist your money this is a dance recital for kids, housewives and grand ma. The event was poorly coordinated off que and out of sync with the music played....and I'm not talking about the part with kids, that atleast was cute and entertaining. To be fair there were moments when the show featured some well done solo performances but I would hate to see someone else pay money to go see Grand ma perform (and struggle to remeber her next move while not having a heart attack). Waste of time and money and the event is not advertised appropriately.

Great performance hall plenty of space and seats. The murals are amazing as well as the constantly changing exhibits. The center host tons of events so make sure you schedule your visit before hand. We are lucky to have a place to host events for children as well as serious artist. Keep up the great work guys.

Alejandro and his staff are the best... they have hosted the Miguel Hidalgo Awards by OCCA yet again....very gracious.
