Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on busy nights!

I had dinner at Los Altos after someone recommended the restaurant to my girlfriend. The restaurant…read moreis located at the rooftop of a building that is only a short walk away from Galatasaray Lisesi, right in the middle of Istiklal street. The restaurant has a very decent view, but to get a table near the window, you need to reserve. Especially on weekends. Also we went there in early autumn and it was a bit chilly so make sure to bring an extra layer. We tried the mango chilly margarita and it was very good. It accompanied the tacos and enchilada well. For dinner we had the fish taco, the chicken taco with pico de gallo and red enchilada. I assume they make their own tortillas as they were very authentic and almost the same as the ones in Mexico. However the fish, somehow, had a very local, very Turkish taste. I don't know how but it gave the taco a Turk-Mex twist. It was very good, we just didn't get the authentic Mexican taste from the Taco despite the good job they made with the tortilla. The enchilada too was wrapped in a great tasting tortilla. While the meet was a bit dry it was all in all a good enchilada. The service was good, attentive, kind and quick. My problem with other Mexican places in Istanbul was the poor quality of service. Los Altos does not have that problem. I think this could be a good spot for a date, or if you wanna go for something different with friends.

Amazing Mexican food! Yes, I ate Mexican food in Turkey. Sue me! (Don't sue me, I have no money)…read more Seats are extremely limited, I think at one time 8-10 ppl can eat simultaneously. Heat lamps are present for those chilly nights if you are sitting outside. Parking isn't terrible since the place doesn't fit to many @ one time, but keep in mind it shares parking with other establishments around it. On to the most important part of this review, the FOOD. The menu is limited, but I don't count that against them. Prices are reasonable and portions are plentiful. I had barbacoa meat (not sure if I spelled this correctly) filled burrito and it was delicious and filling. My brother had the nachos which were huge in portion sizing as well and he gave his approval on them. Everything we ate we found to be delicious. Taste buds are different so I can't speak for yours, but my taste buds enjoyed themselves. Everything is prepared in view of your seat. I thought that was neat. The staff spoke and understood English and we're very friendly. This is definitely a place I will order from or even stop by before I leave Turkey.

As a vegetarian, the menu looks a little bewildering, but when you choose your own ingredients for the your own burrito, it's great. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I asked the owner to surprise me! I had a Mexican bean burrito with carmelized onions, sauteed peppers, guacamole, and pico de gallo. It was awesome! The first time I took it home to eat- and had it cold:( The second trip I had a burrito with beans, pepper, onions, cheese, and potatoes. It was different. I liked the first one more. They do everything they can to accomodate vegetarians and vegans - which is nice. My husband had a chicken burrito with extra chicken. He seemed happy with it. The decor is nice- I especially liked the swings. I didn't think I would like to eat while sitting on a swing, but it turns out, it's quiet comfortable. As they are still pretty new, there might be somethings lacking, but I think it's going to be great. Right now there is no website or phone number:( but I'm sure there will be soon.

Keep climbing to sit on the terrace, which is nice in winter or summer, but sometimes crowded/full. One of the good things about Çiço is its reasonably priced and wide selection of beer. Another is the fact that you can get a 70ml beer, which is always good. As the restaurant has a sort of Mexican theme, you can even get nachos, which are the best I've had in Istanbul. The menu is a bit pricey here and there, but totally fine for a central and cool place near Istiklal. Go for a bite to eat and a chat with a few friends; a nice place to pre-game and get delicious foods (huuuuge selection).

The food is inspired by the Mexican cuisine, and there are plenty to choose from but please save room for the dessert! They have the so far best cheesecake I tried in Istanbul and there are several toppings to choose from. I can highly recommend the Tavuk chili con carne - perfectly spiced! The service is very good, the staff is always helpful and their english is very good.

This is easily the best restaurant in Istanbul. Similar to other reviewers, I was also getting…read moretired of eating Turkish food. We'd been in the country for 5 months at a geology field camp and had been eating essentially different variations of the same meal every single day. Don't get me started on breakfast. I can appreciate Turkish food, I can, but coming here made the whole trip worth it. This is probably the only meal I would ever consider an actual experience. We casually walk into the owner's house, up past the third floor where the kitchen is, and then into the fourth floor where the main seating area is. If you don't like cats I wouldn't bother coming, because they are the waitstaff and are very happy to greet you immediately. We sit down and cool off before he informs us that the terrace is shaded and that we should go up there before we start placing our orders. Amazing view with fantastic breezes to cool you off. He begins telling you about his life, his trips through Italy, everything that's going on in Turkey, how life has changed and even showed us his amazing meteorite once he learned we were geologists. Anyways, we ordered a squash/zucchini dish, and he returned with a green bean and something I couldn't even begin to describe. Everything had such wonderful depths of flavor. I ended up ordering the Spaghetti Bolognese and my girlfriend got the Alfredo (asked to be Americanized with chicken in it). I'm not joking when I tell you that these were the most filling and satisfying dishes we'd had over the last month. So much flavor and they really energized us when we finally got done with them. You've heard that people have had tears from having such good food, or being deprived for so long of something they love, well that was exactly us. I never knew that olive oil could taste so amazing. If we do come back to Turkey at some point, no matter where in the country we go, I will absolutely be making a stop by here again. Without a doubt. Thank you very much for the amazing time and amazing food
