Description
Tucked inside is the hidden Zona Rosa behind velvet drapes for private dining, while the room's soundtrack shifts between conversational Arabian jazz and weekend DJ sets. The kitchen turns out contemporary plates like empanadas and shrimp tacos alongside weekly happy hours and special agave-focused tastings. Staff behind the bar draw regular praise, though general service experiences can occasionally vary.
