Not only do they have great food and drinks (margaritas), the service is great. An awesome view is included at no extra charge. Fernando is the owner and is a great host.

We went up just at sunset and enjoyed the views and 2 appetizers. The cheese plate was fabulous with a tasty variety and special nuances. The beef on potato straws was equally enjoyable and beautifully presented. Fernando was not our waiter, but very personable. Hope to go back!

Awesome restaurant with a terrace, right on the edge of the main square of San Miguel de Allende! Everyone there was very kind and went over the top to make sure our experience was amazing! Awesome sunset views of the cathedral! Ask for a table on the edge twords the cathedral for the best views! Service was great, food was amazing, and the atmosphere is inviting! If it's a weekend, make reservations and ask for an edge table because it isn't a large terrace so on busy days it can be busy! Definitely a recommended stop for a sunset dinner well you are in SMA!

Great service. Great View. Creative/tasty appetizers and cocktails. This restaurant can compete with the most expensive in centro for drinks, apps and view without paying extravagant prices. The seleccion de quesos (charcuterie) with their assorted cheese/jamon is better than the best “tapas” restaurant in the centro. The pineapple margarita is also exceptional. The view is as good as any other “rooftop” restaurants in centro.

Beautiful spot for a rooftop drink. Not too many choices so I got a beer and mixed drink from the minimal options they had. Get a table by the edge for the photo opportunity

First, of course is the view. The Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel loomed large ahead and shone brightly like a jewel against the stunning sunset. Then the service. The owner, Fernando, was a great communicator, conversant, friendly, attentive, and very helpful with the food descriptions and recommendations. We all enjoyed the delicious food and great wine in a warm and relaxing ambiance. We had such a great time that we returned just 3 days later. We definitely will come back!

I prefer Cielo over Quince. View is quite similar and definitely quieter. Food price and quality and service is better. Had beef mole and a vegetable risotto. Both very good. Lime pie dessert nice. Staff don't rush you and allow you to enjoy your meal and view.

Great restaurant one of our go-to's. Food is always really good. Service is usually on point however last night it was really cold and they don't have any space heaters up on the roof so it can get chilly at times where most of the other restaurants in San Miguel have heaters available. That's why I did not give five stars. Other than that the place is fantastic the food is good and the staff is wonderful. For those that don't speak Spanish the menu is in both English and Spanish.
