Fiesta Latina at Tomatito

The banging of drums from Samba School Imperatriz Filipinense made every single person at Tomatito Manille dance their hearts out, and even onto the sidewalks.
Tomatito Manille threw an all-out Latina party recently. It was a night filled with laughter, overflowing pintxos, free chupitos (shots), alcohol, great rhythmic music and a whole lot of dancing. The Tomatito team made sure all guests felt like they were part of the world-famous Sambodramo in Rio de Janeiro. Guests brought their A-game to the dance floor and the Tomatito crew was dressed to impress to complete the Latina vibe.
Servers went around the place with trays of five kinds of pintxos prepared by executive chef Alfons Reyes. Guests who came in red received free chupitos (shots). There were also beer, wine, cocktails and gin and tonic stations.
We also enjoyed dancing lessons by Samba School Imperatriz Filipinense with a drink in one hand. The drums eventually stopped, but good music filled the place and the party continued, with guests leaving at 4 a.m. What an exceptional fun-fun night it was, believe moi!
