Tips for your visit

The sunset terrace is the best seat in the house: ask for it when you book. Start with the tostadas de atún, don't skip the quesabirria, and pair it with a mezcal cocktail — that's the combination that defines the place. It works beautifully for long lunches: with doors open from 1:00 PM, it's a great way to spend an afternoon, and it can stretch to sunset without rushing.
