About these pages

What is Cantina Rooftop good for?

A loud, fun dinner on a Mexican rooftop: friends, dates, visitors, karaoke on Wednesdays and tacos on Tuesdays. It's a poor fit for a quiet conversation. Each page here says so where it matters.

Why do some of these pages say not to come?

Because there's a live DJ every night we're open, and that's the wrong room for some nights out. We'd rather you knew before you booked.

Where do birthdays and big groups go?

Birthdays have their own page. For 9 or more people, send a group request and we'll email you within one business day.
