Could that be 'El Convento' ? I was on holiday in Toronto (with obligatory visit to Niagara on the Lake & falls ) and we had a great latin night there .

I remember I used to go to Niagara Falls a lot, both sides of the border when I was studying at the University of Buffalo (1992-1997). back then, there was only a couple of places that had Latin Night. In Toronto there was disco somewhere in Spadina street (can't remember the name) where they also had latin nights.

From Niagar Falls to St.Catharines it takes approximately 15 minutes via the QEW. Take the Ontario St. North exit, go to the second set of stoplights(Lakeport Road)turn left and follow the street across the bridges into Port Dalhousie. Follow the signs into Lakeside Park. This is where Latin Extravaganza is being held, between the old carousel and the pavillion. Enjoy!

If you mean "Plaza Flamingo", it is at College and Bathurst across the road from El Rancho which is also great.

El Rancho and Plaza Flamingo are just east of Bathurst on College street. They are accross the street from each other and owned by the same person. You can get to them from the US or Niagara Falls by taking the QEW North to the Gardiner Expressway and get off at the Sky Dome (York St???) Go north to College and turn left. Plaza Flamingo is on your left and El Rancho is on your right. I believe that El Rancho is open until 2 am and Plaza Flamingo is open all night. I frequent El Rancho on a regular basis and there is a lot of salsa with a mix of some merengue, bachata etc.... Its a great night club with two floors of dancing and lessons before hand. I think the lessons start at 8 pm and they cost 10 dollars.

Visit the link below for further info on the club.
