This place is a joke, avoid it, go to Eladio's on Calle 59 instead. The idea is that waiters bring…read moreyou a selection of snacks with each round of drinks. We were asked where we're from as we sat down, and seemingly as they found out we're not local they decided they wouldn't bother. We received a bowl of crisps, the kind you get with every drink everywhere. After our overpriced drinks, greasy crisps and a terrible live show, we left and went to Eladio's for a feast with great service. Avoid.

We always enjoy going to Dzalbay. The drinks, music, and food are a good way to enjoy spending time.read more

Everything is top-notch: food, drink, MUSIC, ambiance. Note: the other night I was there, had a few and departed quickly when my Uber arrived. I forgot my wallet! The next day, it was there waiting for me. Nothing had been taken. Where else in the world could that happen?

Very fun karaoke bar with high energy, cool dj, good vibes all around. The mix of spanish and…read moreenglish songs was great and the language difference didn't stop anyone from having a good time. Service was really good! Everyone wanted to help you and make sure you had what you wanted/needed. It only got slow when it was time to pay but not in a horrible way. Our check was missing drinks and we had to get it corrected and then the card reader wasn't working and needed to get swapped out. I told my husband that I thought some drinks were complimentary but he wanted to pay. I could've easily been wrong but it seemed like the drinks were given for us to try. After a full day of flights, I really wanted good food. Sadly, this was not the place for that. The only thing I loved were the French fries and so we ordered a plate of fries. It wasn't on the menu so I was happy they let us order. My shrimp tacos had alot of breading and I didn't taste or see a shrimp. My husband's fish looked like buffalo chicken. I also didn't like two of my drinks and didn't drink them. The margarita had salt inside the drink and the rim. The aperol spritz...not a fan and didn't drink either. Come here for the fun not the food!

Dinner a few nights ago. Ate fairly early and the place was pretty much empty. Disappointed in the…read moremenu, as relatively few interesting seafood dinner offerings; but lots of tacos and such. I had a large seafood ceviche. Tasty, good size, but nothing special. Also had pulpo tacos which had minimal taste. Good service. Prices were okay. Music outside was a nice touch. Two for one Martini was a nice special, but martini was just okay. I was surprised with the rating as I thought this was a very average dinner venue.

Similar to the style of La Negrita, this place looks small from the outside, but as you walk in, you'll see it leads to an outdoor area with a small dance floor and a live band! Drinks are cheap here (e.g. 180 pesos for a bucket of beer). The place is adorable with tons of artwork and a wonderful open-air vibe. I'm not sure if they serve food here, as I didn't see any food on the menu, but I also came late.
