My friend quickly said okay not understanding what had just happened until it hit her that she had shushed her. We had reservations and were ready to drop a lot of money for drinks but we asked a server who that lady was and he explained that it was the owner so we got up and left! Many of us were Mexican, others American but we were not about to be support such a place and be treated like that. Super super rude! The servers were nice and respectful though. So- again- don't come here. We weren't even loud but apparently the owner wants a library type of place- lame.

Space to charge and grab refreshments, that's about it. First time experiencing a lounge before…read moregoing through security which didn't help to relieve any travel anxiety I had since I had no idea how long it would take to pass through security when I decided to brave it. Lounge was small but I guess appropriate for the size of the airport. Their check in process was wonky as their desks downstairs and the lounge entrance were unstaffed. Once checked in, was lucky and found seats together near an outlet but really it's a gamble out here. Table cleaning is slow and while there seems to be a menu that you can order from, service was almost nonexistent. The least attentive staff I've ever experienced in a lounge but like I said, I had access to chairs, charging, and a fully stocked fridge with waters, soda, beer, hard liquor, and coffee. WiFi sucked. You win some, you lose some.

We ordered the mescalines with guajillo-Tamarindo y maracuya. They were both delicious! The restaurant (and restrooms) were super clean.

We will definitely return on this trip!

We walked in about an hour before close, and the bar was as lively as ever. While downstairs had more of a lounge vibe, the rooftop bar was buzzing with locals and loud music. Overall a bit grubby, but nothing unexpected of a typical dive bar. Staff are a bit brusque but well-intentioned. PULQUE: I could only dream that this was more popular in the US. Sweet, almost fruity, and smooth. Almost like a light, pulpy, alcoholic orange juice. New to pulque, but this was a delicious and great start. Impressively vast selection of craft beers, wines, and liquor. You're bound to find something for everyone.

It was nice to have greens as Mexican food doesn't have much of them. The restaurant architecture is beautiful, with Ibiza vibes and they have performers performing live music some nights of the week. Overall I recommend Mystras to anyone who wants to have some light, healthy food!

The music was a good volume and was catchy, lots of people were dancing. It was busy but not overly crowded around 2am last night. They closed up pretty much right at 3am but were a little lenient about letting us finish our drinks. The bartenders were nice enough. No cover when I went although there was security at the door. They do allow smoking inside so if you're sensitive to the smell it's something to be aware of, although it's fairly spacious and they had the outside door open so it didn't get aggressively pungent. Will return!

I thought it was funny when I got the menu and the food menu was only one page while the drink menu was five pages. The outside of the restaurant is blue-ish and the restaurant has multiple rooms. The ceviche del dia ($190 MXN) was a little sweet and not as tart or sour as others I've had. The tacos de sirloin ($170) were really good and were our group's favorite. The taquitos dorados de mole negro ($140) were okay; there was no meat just in case you were wondering. The aguachile rojo de camaron ($190) were good. The esquite con tuetano ($100) was not like a typical corn in a cup but it was closer to a corn soup. For drinks I had the pequeño gigante ($210) which was good. The paloma madura and paloma margarita were both favorites among our group. We went during the day and it wasn't that busy but supposedly it gets way busier and livelier at night.

We were able to get a seat right away and the servers were super helpful. My friend wanted to try some mezcal and they let us taste a couple before choosing. We sat at the restaurant instead of the bar because it was cuter and I wanted food too. I tried two of their fruity mezcal drinks and loved both. I forget the names but one had watermelon, and the other had coconut and lime. I ordered cheese stuffed plantains with mole and this was soooo good. It was very filling too!
