Mexican Food in Nanjing? (Or Dance Clubs?)

[Guest]

By far the best Mexican place in Nanjing is called Behind the Wall. It's great--and not just by Chinese standards. It's kind of hard to find though. It's tucked away at the intersection of Hankou lu and Shanghai lu. Head up the stairs infront of the white Chinese restaurant and you'll enter the courtyard for Behind the Wall. Honestly, don't bother going anywhere else.
Also, there is a hookah bar that has salsa dancing, but I can't remember the name right now! It's at 75 Beijing road, also tucked away in a weird compound. From the outside the only thing visible is a Tai restaurant, but the salsa place is behind that.
If you need any other info on Nanjing, feel free to email me at mecbx8@umsl.edu
Enjoy.
P.S. I can get the name of that salsa place for you if you need it, but you can probably just give the cabbie the address.

What are some good places for dance lessons in the Philadelphia area? My fiance and I would like to take dance lessons foremost so that we may dance well together at our wedding next year. Also, though, we (probably more so I) would like to learn the Texas Two-Step just for fun dancing. Any recommendations for places offering such lessons would be greatly appreciated. We are in the Chestnut Hill portion of Philadelphia, but would be willing to travel a bit for lessons. Thanks in advance!

Do you want to travel to China for dancing lessons or you already in Jiangsu?

Just a comment:
A real Mexican food is mostly made by Mexicans, but not those so-called "Tex-Mex" or "Southwestern" recipes which is a term used for regional American cuisines popular in border states like Texas and the Southwestern States. They are influenced by Mexico and popular in the US.

This place was an utter disappointment.

We went there on a tuesday night. First of all, three items on their ten item menu were not available. We ended up ordering veggie fajitas, chicken quesadilla, steak quesadilla, and soft tacos. It was only after quite some time that the food came. The bean side of the quesadillas was obviously microwaved and still partially cold. We told the waiter and he took both dishes away to reheat them. Unfortunately, they just put the entire dish back into the microwave, which resulted in soggy quesadillas and boiled sour cream. In addition, the spanish rice side was completely forgotten and only arrived after we told the staff three times. By then, we had already ordered the bill. The soft tacos with carnitas were remarkably underwhelming. The meat was overcooked and the seasoning completely missing. The worst part of the evening was when we found the thumbnail sized stone in the vegetarian fajitas. We informed the waitress - she just shrugged and said, it was part of the iron plate the dish was served on. No further consequences or apologies were made. The bill came at about 75 RMB per person for food and drink (not particularly great either), which is very steep for the quality of the food and service. It was very disappointing that the staff did not bother to apologize for the mishaps or even to explain the situation. This place sucks!

This restaurant was a great disappointment to my friends as i during our trip to nanjing. We went with high expectations and came away irritated and upset. From the stone in the food to the missing spanish rice to my extremely mediocre tacos, this place fell short of basic restaurant deliverables. We are certain that Nanjing has great restaurants for expats - sadly, this is not one of them.
