Arash NarchiApril 2, 2015The view is amazing and the food and drinks are great too. Get the margaritas
Food was so good, my fav steak skewers, ceviche delicious. Service, was the worst service I've ever had. Waitress took 15mns to come to the table. I need more room to say how bad the service was.
- Josh PylesNovember 16, 2014Great spot for a sunny brunch with a view. I enjoyed the Chorizo scramble.
Clara BayarriOctober 12, 2014Great rooftop, the views are great and the Margarita El Techo was really good.
More than just a rooftop view and margs. The pork shoulder is worth a special trip!
Chicharrones. Bloody Maria. Guac. Pretty much any cocktail with Mezcal in it! Oh, and the view.
Ben McChesneyAugust 19, 2014Great view along with delicious margaritas and tapas. I always get the ceviche
Linda FelterSeptember 26, 2014People talk about rooftop, scenic views, and margaritas. Check, check, and check! Oh and pork belly quesadillas!!!
Service is off here...can't quite figure out why. Always leave a little annoyed. But great views on a hot day.
I AmosOctober 26, 2014Happy-hour snacks are delicious and a great deal, especially the fried chicken.

Kyle WaalJune 12, 2013Love this place. Every time I go the bathroom is always open, and the chicaroones are great!
Marta TapperoOctober 28, 2016Location Location. That's the best. Food was ok, we had Guac and Cuban eggs. Drinks were pretty good. The service were not very nice.
- David PoynerApril 17, 2014Do yourself a favor and spend the extra few bucks and get the el techno margarita.
