Nice view for sunset & friendly staff

They changed the menu & the only vegan option is "Tamalitos de frijol".
Which is 3 small Tamales-balls on top of a mole with sweetpotatoe mash & salad for 220$.

Pros: Nice view from the terrace, Very friendly staff

Cons: Bit pricey , Just one vegan option

Wonderful place

We dined here early Sunday evening. Up some stairs above the street, and the atmosphere was just right. More dressed up than typical for PE, but still a casual vibe. Great music. Service was wonderful - friendly and attentive. Vegan menu is limited to three options. We had the tacos y setas y quelites (mushroom & quelites tacos) and the calabaza asada el pipián de flor de calabaza (grilled pumpkin in pipián sauce with veg, pumpkin seeds, and corn. Both were delicious - great flavor and texture. Highly recommended.

Pros: Very flavorful, Attentive service, Nice, chill atmosphere

Cons: Limited vegan options

Three vegan options, all slapped together

As a restaurant, their cooks need to learn how to cook before they even consider serving any kind of food, especially vegan, and charging the prices they do. Cocktails were awful too. Servers not professional. Honestly there is zero reason to come here. Overrated cause it looks fancy.

We weren’t as impressed as other reviewers.

We thought the food was nice but nothing outstanding. Burger was a bit dry to our taste, and, with only three basic ingredients, quite boring. Prices were high compared to other places in mexico/puerto and there was no warm atmosphere or good vibe.

Pros: Beautiful rooftop

Cons: Expensive, No good vibe

This place should have more reviews!

Super friendly staff, lovely setting. It's not high end but the service is solid. There's a full page dedicated to vegan options.

I loved my gourmet tamalites balls - so yum! The banana bread however wasn't my favourite dessert (but it looks great!).

I went with my omni dad, he absolutely loved his meal as well!

Pros: Rooftop! , Service, Lots of vegan options

Great vegan dinner

An entire (albeit short - maybe 4 items) section of the menu is dedicated to vegan main courses. I got the chickpea tofu burger and was thoroughly impressed. It was one of the best burgers I’ve had, and it came with potato wedges and a salad. To my surprise, I was also served corn tortillas, various dips, and a sorbet drink as starters - I think this is standard practice here. The rooftop terrace is beautiful. My meal was $200 MXN, and it was well worth it.
