We ran the gamut of bars in Zona Centro, and this spot made a fitting finale since it was the most high-end spot we visited. Only a half-block from the social epicenter of Jardin Allende, it provides a nice view of the top of the parroquia from their rooftop terrace where we were seated (Photo 3). The restaurant definitely had a more refined ambiance than the previous four places. We could tell it was a popular spot among wealthy American expats because the ambient voices sounded more like Chicago than Mexico. No Spanish, just English. The cocktail was a tangy treat though, a Tamarind Margarita (Photo 8), and the Jicama Taco was a satisfying veggie ending to our evening (Photo 10).

The menu features a variety of atypical seafood tacos and tostadas, including octopus and smoked fish, which immediately caught my attention. I ended up ordering the Pescado al Pastor taco, which turned out to be a great choice. The chopped fish was marinated in al pastor seasoning and topped with pineapple, onion, and cilantro, with a lime wedge on the side. The combination of flavors was vibrant and very tasty. We also tried the octopus, which was excellent. I'm a bit of a sucker for octopus when it's prepared well, and this one definitely delivered. The ceviche blanco tostada was another highlight--a generous pile of diced fish with tomato, onion, and lime juice that tasted incredibly fresh and bright. The hibiscus margaritas were delicious and refreshing, and I would highly recommend them--especially if you're planning to walk to the restaurant. The restaurant sits up a fairly steep climb from the Parque Benito Juárez area, so it can be a bit of a trek. Fortunately, we were dropped off and picked up by our driver. As for service, we had no issues at all. Our server was attentive and pleasant, though I do recognize that some other reviewers have mentioned inconsistent service. Our experience was positive, but it may vary depending on the day.

For our starter we chose a great cheese platter and a poblano cheese bun that was a terrific surprise. Our mains were a perfectly cooked steak and ravioli with asparagus. Food is divided in to small, medium and large plates so you could enjoy tapas style if you chose to. We ended the evening with a rich but yummy brownie and an apparently Mexican-style sweet potato croquette that was sublime. The chef came up to check on us and informed us the croquettes were an experiment and will be on the menu come September! Excellent experience - the hotel staff of Hotel Amparo were extremely kind and Viridiana, our server, was knowledgeable, helpful and sweet. When the mosquitoes came out, they even brought us bug spray should we choose to use it! Great bar/cocktails, great kitchen. Love! As with many of the excellent restaurants in SMA, the prices are equivalent to any other great dining experience in San Miguel. Stop in for a cocktail, dinner or both - enjoy the serene rooftop and relax.

However, the staff didn't make us feel that way since they gave us the table with inarguably the best view of the city during the most photogenic time of the day, magic hour at sunset (Photo 3). How did we get so lucky since we made our reservation just the day before? And what better way to start than with a pair of MX$340 Carajillos, the Mexican version of espresso martinis (Photo 7). The use of Licor 43 lent a welcome sweet spiciness to the deep espresso and fit the moment perfectly. We were happy to receive a complimentary serving of warm Focaccia topped with a wedge of liver pate, olive oil, and chives (Photo 10). It was a nice surprise quickly devoured. Our first shared dish was the MX$365 Ensalada Luna, a hearty and enticing mix of greens, stracciatella cheese, speck ham, fresh peaches and figs, and quinoa in a citrus and vanilla vinaigrette (Photo 4). Our entree was the MX$406 Tacos de Lechon Rostizado, a trio of roasted suckling pig tacos with crispy skin cracklings, red onion, and fresh green salsa (Photo 5). The pork was fork tender. Nestled in a flour tortilla, the soft pulled meat stood in nice contrast to the crack of the skin. We went for a second drink, but this time a mocktail, the MX$195 Chilate, a refreshing alcohol-free blend of cacao, rice, cinnamon, and raw cane sugar in a coconut shell (Photo 6). While awaiting our dessert order, we were surprised by a complimentary Happy Anniversary dessert, a bit of a head-scratcher. We didn't say we were celebrating anything, but hey, we didn't complain. The sparkler was already lit and the staff was harmonizing. It was a chocolate ganache cake with blueberries atop puffed rice (Photo 8). That didn't stop us from enjoying the crispy-sweet MX$289 Churros with cinnamon ice cream and champurrado chocolate sauce (Photo 9), while entranced by the nighttime view (Photo 2).

TOURISTS BEWARE: WE WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. Wanted to share…read moremy family's experience when we were here on October 1, 2025. For context, we were a huge group (~20) with reservations that were set up by our hotel, and we were broken up into 3 different tables. Our reservation was done roughly 24 hours in advance, so I don't fault them for this in any way. Another neutral thing is that there is only 1 check per table. Not anything bad, but for large groups, please take note. Speaking solely on behalf of the table that I was seated at, these were the negatives of our experience: - We were charged for bottled water without being made aware that the charge applied; additionally, we were charged for more bottles than were on our table. - We were told a price on a cocktail, but it appeared differently (more expensive) on our bill. - We ordered cocktails with both higher-end and house liquor, but we were charged the higher-end price for all of them. - We were charged for an extra cocktail. - There was a hair embedded in one of the plate's guacamole--clearly mixed in--and when we respectfully raised the concern to our waiter, the manager came out and condescendingly explained it was "due to wind." I wanted to go through the bill on my own, but (1) the person taking the payment waited next to me with the card reader, and (2) our large group had to get going. I understand my mistake in not going through the bill before I paid, but that many errors on our bill just feels deliberate to prey on tourists, especially considering we tipped on this inflated amount for a meal that was already pricey to begin with. There are some positives to our experience: the views were beautiful, they offered blankets and heaters to combat the cold wind, and I'm grateful that the staff spoke English (most of the folks in our group at the other tables were older and wouldn't be able to use a translation app) and answered our many questions; however, I will never return to this restaurant again because of the way we were clearly taken advantage of. For any tourists, please learn from my mistake and be sure to go through your bill with a VERY fine comb.
