"I was there for a quinceanera so we were in the event area. It seemed like a nice enough place. From what I know about the Elks it is kinda a weird place for a Latino get together (the whole 'only white, god fearing men can join' thing) but whatever. I certainly wouldn't be a member myself, but for the event space, I'm sure it is fine."
