great vibe! I've been twice and service is good. guac is good too. I would definitely come back again

A little bit expensive food not bad. Good vibes I wouldn't be rushing to visit a second time though.

I've been to this rooftop several times, and the food/ drinks/ energy is always consistent. The live dj is always amping up the crowd, it's very interactive. They always do the conga line doing the cha cha step dance lol I love coming here in groups or on a date. There are photographers who come around and ask you to pose for a picture by yourself or whoever you're with, they guide you with the poses. They later come back to show you the picture and offer them to you for a price. They will have a frame available. The service depends on the waiter you get, for the most part they are friendly. I only had one bad experience that left a bad taste in my mouth.. the first time I came the waiter packed up our cantina rooftops mugs for no additional price so I assumed that when you order specialty drinks that come in mugs like that they are yours to keep as a souvenir idk we didn't ask him for those mugs..so on another occasion I asked my waiter if I was going to get that mug to take home at the end and he was very nasty and sarcastic about it, he said sure if you pay for it. The answer wasn't wrong but the look and tone he gave me was out of line without knowing just coworker gifted me and my group our mugs on another occasion. One bad fruit isn't going to ruin this place for me, I definitely recommend you give this place a try. I love their tacos and drinks. Everything I've tried so far has been great. The prices are reasonable read more

We chose Cantina Rooftop to take friends who were visiting from out of town, and it ended up being one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had. The biggest issue was the bill. Several of the prices we were charged didn't match the menu. We also ordered three shots of the house tequila, yet when the check arrived, we were billed for Patrón. I've been around the restaurant industry my entire life, and I've never heard of a place where the "house tequila" is Patrón. Even more importantly, what we were served was definitely not Patrón. As we reviewed the check, it became clear that we had been overcharged on multiple items. They also added gratuity to our party of five without ever mentioning it. We have no problem tipping, but adding it without informing your guests is not good hospitality. My family has worked in the restaurant business for years, so I understand mistakes happen. This didn't feel like a simple mistake--it felt like a lack of transparency from start to finish. I wasn't willing to spend our evening arguing with the server or manager and ruin the night for our guests, so we paid and left. That said, as someone who lives locally, I won't be coming back, and I won't be recommending this restaurant to anyone. There are far better places in the city that are upfront with their customers and earn repeat business. read more

So much to say about cantina rooftop. Definitely do not come here if you're under 21 and Mexican. The food is mediocre and it lacks a lot of mexican authentic seasoning. It's mostly catered to people who don't have a high spicy tolerance and people around the area. The price is also something, it's not terrible but it's not cheap either. The vibe, the atmosphere, and service is definitely amazing but it's the only good thing I can say about this place. Loads of bright light and beautiful details, a beautiful place to take photos for a birthday or outing with friends. Now for this year's World Cup, I MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT recommend coming here if you're under 21. This place does not specify that the event is strictly 21+. They can say that they are but they really need to fix their information on their site. I understand that the place is a rooftop & lounge but there is no information anywhere where it states you have to 21+. All it states "For All Ages" and doesn't specify for the rooftop or lounge. So for future reference DO NOT purchase tickets if you're trying to get in here. It's not worth it at all. If you do get tickets, I am here to tell you that the ROOFTOPS is the only place for all ages. Before I forget and the biggest problem here is what you need to waste to even stay at the rooftop to 'watch' the game. You need to waste at least $100+. Which if you're under 21, I can understand that the amount can be a bit much, especially if you're only here to watch the game and nothing else. Especially since most people go to watch parties to only watch the games. I made sure to include photos of the watch party details and highlights the most important part which says "For All Ages". read more

We came here for Happy Hour but found out after arriving that their Happy Hour is only during the winter months. That explains why we were the only people in the restaurant. I never heard of a venue having Happy Hour only in the winter - if anything decrease your Happy Hour time frame for the warmer months, not completely eliminate it. After that disappointment I was ready to leave, I didn't want to order anything else. We paid for our drinks and we found another spot down the block that had a great happy hour. read more

Great vibes all around. Every staff member was super nice and very happy. We had the nachos with pork, which was great. The Birria tacos were also super good. There were a ton of birthdays here tonight and the staff came out whistling with maybe Mexican masks(?) which was very fun. Our server, Mauricio was also amazing. On point and also just a very fun outgoing person. Definitely worth coming back for. read more

This was nice. Pretty loud so if you're looking something intimate... this is more like a party! A cute party though. They have guest characters come out like a teddy bear and a dinosaur that interact the guest. Super cute. Barria tacos are nicely seasoned! They are super attentive! Coming to grab your used napkins lol. Jessica was a great waitress with a lot of personality! The 20% auto gratuity though... just keep it in mind lol. read more

Cantina Rooftop really delivers when it comes to atmosphere. The vibes are truly immaculate; great music, lively crowd, & overall fun energy that makes it a perfect spot for drinks and socializing. The food was alright...enjoyable, but not something I'd come specifically for. That said, it works well with the ambiance. What really elevated the experience, was the manager/DJ. He truly was the life of the party. Super welcoming, high energy, and clearly set the tone for the entire space. If you're looking for a place with a great scene, solid drinks, and an unforgettable vibe (especially thanks to the staff), this is definitely worth checking out. read more

The vibe, energy and atmosphere is great. The food is tasty but definitely on the pricer side for typical Mexican food. We were a group of 6 for my son's birthday. I rsvp'ed online and requested the jumbo taco. I called to make sure that the request for the jumbo taco was received as the website said you needed to pre-order. Upon arrival we were informed that the kitchen didn't receive the request. The wait would have been about an hour so we didn't bother and ordered other items. read more

Shout out to Carlos our server!! He was fantastic and provided great service. Very personable

Have an excellent time with my friends and all the staff was good times ,the food was excellent and the drinks I come back.

The patacon birria was absolutely delicious, and the maduros were an absolute hit--perfectly sweet and caramelized. The spicy guacamole had just the right amount of heat and incredible flavor. My only suggestion would be the yuca fries. Instead of using mashed yuca that's fried, I think serving whole-cut yuca fries would be a fantastic upgrade in both texture and presentation. Other than that, everything was amazingly delicious, fresh, and well-prepared. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place! read more

$44 for two cocktails. Welcome to NYC, babe! We came to Cantina Rooftop, located in Midtown Manhattan, to enjoy some drinks and Latin music on a Saturday night. Security checked our IDs when we entered the building, and then we took the elevator to the 4th floor. We arrived after 10pm and were able to get a table right away. Now... this is the one and only good thing I have to say about this place. The ambiance is perfect for celebrations or parties. They have a DJ, loud music, and a dance floor. The rooftop is decorated with colorful/festive Mexican decor and neon lights. Nice view of Manhattan buildings. Now let's get into what's very wrong with this business. We ordered a pomegranate margarita and an original margarita. At $17 a drink, you would want it to at least taste good... actually, it should taste great. We took a few sips and ugh... These were some of the worst cocktails we've had. They were so watered down and had very little (if any) tequila in them. They tasted like those pre-made margarita mixes you can buy from your local grocery store. All sugar and artificial juice flavors. Not to mention, they were served in cheap, acrylic cups. We flagged down our waitress to politely and respectfully tell her that our drinks weren't to our liking and were very weak. We didn't ask her to remove them off the bill, we didn't ask for a double shot, we didn't want a different drink... Our waitress told us she couldn't take the drinks back and remake them. Instead, she said we could buy a tequila shot. Girl, bye. Why would I spend more $$$ on a tequila shot when you can just remake my $17 margarita or add a bit more liquor into it? We told her "no, thank you". A good restaurant that cares about GOOD SERVICE would offer to remake it or give us another solution. At least try to make things right for the customer. At one point in the night, all of the servers went around every table to give customers plastic cups. They wanted us to pour our drinks from their original cups into these plastic cups. Why? No clue... maybe the kitchen was closing and the dishwashers wanted to clean the "glassware"? Lol, whatever. So we chugged our nasty drinks for our money's worth and asked for the bill. OF COURSE the bill had an automatic 20% "gratuity" fee. And for what? Lol... service was horrible. We had to flag down our waitress 3-4 times because she never came to us. She didn't do anything about our drink situation. $44 for two bad cocktails, "mandatory tip", and tax. Waste of money. Just another business that cares more about ~*ambiance~* and making money over good customer service and good quality drinks/food. read more

Great tacos and fun vibes and music. The rooftop is on the 4th floor, not quite a full rooftop is nice outdoor setting with it is nice out and the roof is open. I really liked the birria tacos! Cantina has a fun party vibe, lots of birthdays being celebrated here. This is a fun spot for brunch and dinner, the music at dinner can be quite loud, so keep that in mind if that is a factor. read more

We saw the umbrella decorated rooftop of Cantina Rooftop from our 14th floor hotel room and decided at that time we were gonna go over there to check it out. We went over and a pleasant young lady directed us to the elevator where we made our way to the rooftop (4th floor). The space was rocking with music as soon as the elevator doors opened! The atmosphere was energetic and the staff were bubbly and gracious. We were shown to our table by a pleasant young man, in the area of the umbrella decorated patio area. We didn't order any drinks, but looked over the menu and decided on the birria tacos. While we were waiting on our food, a staff member dressed in a shark costume came out and proceeded to dance and interact with the customers, which was funny! Other staff members dressed up in poncho/sombreros and the like, visiting tables and interacting with guests while the music, which was a mix of Latin/r&b/top 40, blasted and lent to the pulsating, event filled evening. Our food arrived and it was good. We got three tacos per order in a soft tortilla drenched in the barria sauce with the perfect amount of beef filling. So good! As the night came, the pulsating neon lights in the ceiling, walls, and umbrellas overhead lit up and that's when the atmosphere really got heated up. There were guests celebrating birthday parties and the staff came out each time in a procession with sparklers going and singing happy birthday with so much energy. They even took pictures and had them ready to sell in a matter of minutes of the birthday person. There was a dance floor that stayed packed. They also have brunch on the weekends. All in all, a great Mexican restaurant full of high energy, great staff, and good food. read more

Food and service was definitely mid. People next to us had to flag down servers to get food. When we got our drinks they were poorly made so that was disappointing because the presentation was nice. But I will say for a night out and just drinking it's a really fun time. We came for a late bite to eat and stayed to party. Next time I'd eat somewhere else and just stick to heading to the bar and dancing on the dance floor!! read more

Yall this place is POPPIN AF. At one point I saw the manager doing shots I was like, "I'm not mad at that." Let's get down to business and talk about taco Tuesday, it's $25 for all you can eat tacos. Whoa, what a value. They have an amazing variety including chicken, el pastor, vegan etc. Also be warned the drinks are strong af. I'd recommend doing reservations to avoid waiting. Can't wait to go here again, great spot for birthdays or large parties. read more

Came here with a reservation for AYCE Taco Tuesday as a group of 3 late March. There was an attendant at the entrance checking reservations. When the elevator brought us up, we were met with loud live music from a DJ. There were still many groups waiting for tables. We were not seated for another half hour. Unfortunately, service was not too great. Food took a long time to get to us. We were only able to get 2 orders during our time and the second order took well over half hour to get to us. This may have been due to the fact the place was completely packed and 1 server working maybe 5-10 tables at once. However, not all was bad! The tacos were delicious. We loved them all, especially the pescado fish tacos! read more
