We live here fulltime. Have guests come in every once awhile and want to be able to give safe recommendations. Cannot write about cocktails. Pricing is similar as other restaurants in the area. Service was excellent, the view was excellent, the food was BORING and flavorless. We both ordered the "Paquete del día" 210mxn He ordered chilequiles Rojo, she ordered chilequiles verde. It was edible. We were served sliced papaya with a tiny sprinkling of puffed quinoa and pecans within tiny drizzle of "maple" syrup. This was okay. The chilequiles: The good and a first for us is they either panseared or flattop seared the queso fresco crumbles that made them delightfully squeaky chewy like fresh cheese curds are in Wisconsin and they had the slightest hint of crisp browning... nice touch. Chilequiles for breakfast is our favorite go to. We have 13 years of full time travel and living throughout all of Mexico and these chilequiles could have been on the menu at Denny's in the USA and likely receive excellent reviews. We are in Oaxaca where the best of best of foods are found in all of Mexico!!! There was way too much sauce for the Rojo and the verde the chips became mush and couldn't be lifted with the fork making it a soup. The sauce was so bland we struggled to taste some typical Mexican spices although it was very salty. We were not offered or served any salsas, pickled onions w/jalepeños or other toppings that we have grown accustomed to. Thank goodness there was a couple of leaves of cilantro on top but again not enough! We have come to the consensus that this place likely serves tourists and they have decided in the kitchen that their customers do not want anything spicy or "picante". This place likely is not concerned with a returned client only pleasing a palate that doesn't want any spicy heat. If you like more salt than is necessary and no spicy heat then you might enjoy this place. Our table service was EXCELLENT, friendly and quick. Not rooftop. It’s call terrace ahh. So annoying. Good food. Good service and an unforgettable view. I want to come back. It’s not crowded for 4pm ish but crowds are coming in. Food is amazing. My friend ordered some decent dishes for snack and I had a coffee. Really nice rooftop terrasse with beautiful view over the city, perfect for sunset Live music and nice service Didn’t try the food but cocktails were great

Great spot for drinks with an amazing view. Cocktails were delicious (pina and cilantro). Ordered the beef tacos as an appetiser and were also amazing. Full menu was a bit westernised for us so we went elsewhere for an authentic dinner, but highly recommended here for a drink & snack! Service friendly but slow as has been consistent across Mexico!

Stopped here for a quick late dinner on a Sunday night. The restaurant has a great rooftop with nice views. The beef tacos were delicious, and the waiter was friendly and helpful. They also had nice live music which was a nice touch!
