We arrived an hour before sunset on a Sunday evening and got a table immediately (according to…read moretheir Instagram page they do not take reservations). Stroll into the Casa del Rector hotel and the concierge will radio up to check if there is room at the bar for you. Then walk through the hotel and take the elevator all the way up. We enjoyed our drinks and the lovely view. They have some semi-see-through sun screens/shields that cover half the bar for patrons who do not want the sun in their eyes; the staff raise these screens just before sunset. We enjoyed three drinks and an appetizer before leaving for dinner proper. The waitstaff were good. I actually want to give 4.5 stars because the calamari we had was laughably bad and the salad it came with was much better. Nonetheless the beautiful setting was one of the highlights of our trip so I will rank it as 5 - just don't get the calamari!!

Absolutely the best rooftop view and the best drinks during our entire Guanajuato trip, and we'd…read morebeen on at least half a dozen of them. The cocktail menu is not large, but the drinks are inventive and much more balanced (less syrupy sweet, nor shy on the liquor) compared to other places. Prices are a bit higher than most at 180 pesos per drink, but still very reasonable compared to US prices. The bartenders were so very attentive and made sure to get our second drink order as soon as the first was done. The only thing that was a little strange was that their menu QR code took us to their Instagram page. Me being a total dinosaur did not have an IG account and couldn't see the menu, but luckily hubby did. There is a host's stand at the Hotel Casa del Rector entrance to make sure that there is seating to accommodate your party before allowing you to go up. Our hostess did not tell us how to actually get to the rooftop, so we just walked up a couple flights and found ourselves in a completely empty but very pretty courtyard. We found more stairs up across the courtyard, even though it looked like it led to hotel guest rooms and private balconies, then eventually ended up at the top where the pool and bar were. Totally took my breath away at the complete transformation from the busy cobblestone street to panoramic views of the city. Only then did I see the glass elevator that would've taken us easily up here. However, the free self-guided tour of the hotel convinced me the next time I'm in Guanajuato, this is the place to stay in!

The combo meal our group all ordered was good which included sausage, carne asada, a fajita mix, beans and tortilla. The food was good but unfortunately took a very long time to prepared.

I ordered the tuna, avocado and mango ceviche which had an incredible amount of cubed tuna. It was not a light ceviche at all but had a nice smoky lime flavor to the fish on the crunchy large corn tortillas. There was so much fish and with the other appetizers I couldn't even finish it.
