2015

Where Mexican food meets Mexican music

With over 30 years in the Latin music industry, Pedro Zamora became one of the largest producers of Latin concerts and Hispanic entertainment in the United States. He always carried a dream: a restaurant that didn't just serve Mexican food, but celebrated the heartbeat of Mexican culture, its music.

Not a nightclub, not an ordinary restaurant. A place where families and friends share real flavors, dance, and make memories. That idea opened in 2015 as Cantina Rooftop: the first Mexican rooftop in Manhattan, and the first with live DJs and entertainment every single day.

Birthdays, anniversaries and engagements are celebrated here daily. Good Morning America, Forbes, Telemundo and Univision have covered us, and Shakira, Los Tigres del Norte, Mike Towers, Fat Joe and DJ Adoni have all come up to the roof.
