Similar to the style of La Negrita, this place looks small from the outside, but as you walk in, you'll see it leads to an outdoor area with a small dance floor and a live band! Drinks are cheap here (e.g. 180 pesos for a bucket of beer). The place is adorable with tons of artwork and a wonderful open-air vibe. I'm not sure if they serve food here, as I didn't see any food on the menu, but I also came late.

I can't speak for any of the food, but this is a super cool spot to hang out for drinks and live…read moremusic. Picnic bench style seating, and plenty of it. There's a very small "dance floor" between the live band setup and the bench seating. Lots of beer and cocktail options. Definitely a younger crowd. Service isn't bad, but be patient. This place gets busy.

Everyone was friendly and made us feel welcome, and we walked away with great conversations and local recommendations for our trip. We had the bang bang shrimp lettuce cups one night (they were divine), but those dirty martinis was the highlight for me - thanks JB)! Come for the drinks/food/live bands/karaoke, and stay for the great people who both work and congregate here. Thanks David/Tamaha/Jean Baptist for your hospitality :)

We always enjoy going to Dzalbay. The drinks, music, and food are a good way to enjoy spending time.read more

Everything is top-notch: food, drink, MUSIC, ambiance. Note: the other night I was there, had a few and departed quickly when my Uber arrived. I forgot my wallet! The next day, it was there waiting for me. Nothing had been taken. Where else in the world could that happen?

Service was really good! Everyone wanted to help you and make sure you had what you wanted/needed. It only got slow when it was time to pay but not in a horrible way. Our check was missing drinks and we had to get it corrected and then the card reader wasn't working and needed to get swapped out. I told my husband that I thought some drinks were complimentary but he wanted to pay. I could've easily been wrong but it seemed like the drinks were given for us to try. After a full day of flights, I really wanted good food. Sadly, this was not the place for that. The only thing I loved were the French fries and so we ordered a plate of fries. It wasn't on the menu so I was happy they let us order. My shrimp tacos had alot of breading and I didn't taste or see a shrimp. My husband's fish looked like buffalo chicken. I also didn't like two of my drinks and didn't drink them. The margarita had salt inside the drink and the rim. The aperol spritz...not a fan and didn't drink either. Come here for the fun not the food!

I had a large seafood ceviche. Tasty, good size, but nothing special. Also had pulpo tacos which had minimal taste. Good service. Prices were okay. Music outside was a nice touch.
