The interior, with its long bar, rough-hewn lumber, and narrow dance floor, has the feel of a honky-tonk. Most customers are Mexican, but the $5 cover at The Plaza buys something few Latin nightclubs dare offer: female impersonators in sequined gowns lip-synching to frenetic cumbias and heartbreaking rancheras.
