Share a Guacamole de Chicharrón,ñ. The Tortilla soup is excellent. The Mexican Style Filet Mignon ( off the menu items) its also tasty, but should be renamed bcz its not a FM.

The view is awesome. You can even see el Popo on a bright(er) day. We tried the guacamole and piñadas, tast was on point. Location great, venue very stylish

The cocktails blew my mind (mojitos and G&Ts), the starter (octopus carpaccio) was delicious, the main course was perfectly cooked, finally the desert was truly out of this world! You must visit!

Definitely one of the best places to eat or even have a beer in the centro historico. The view is amazing and staff is friendly. The buffet looks good too.

Great bar and even better view on the zocalo - try one of the boutique beers e.g. Mexican weizen!!

The view is amazing, but the platos fuertes are so small and expensive !! Go there to see the view and grab a drink. Have lunch in another place

I tried a keto cheese cake... unconventional présentation but was ok. Coffee and chocolate not so good but I tried as both they were Mexicans

Great view! Unfortunately, Sunday brunch is average for the price you pay. Service was friendly but distracted and slow. We had to ask several times for we had ordered.

Honestly Sunday brunch is overpriced. Disappointing. The view is great but unfortunately the food was somewhat underwhelming.

Excelente opción para degustar comida mexicana a la vanguardia de los mejores restaurantes nacionales, el Chef Pepe Salinas muy atento. Salsas hechas en la mesa y belly pork 100% recomendable.
