About El Techo
Guests check in with a host on the ground floor at Condesa and ride up to a part-covered terrace of pale wood tables, potted palms and string lights, with Liberty Place and the surrounding towers close enough to fill the view. The kitchen sends out tacos, guacamole, salsa flights, queso and larger shared plates, while the bar leans on margaritas, frozen drinks and fruit-forward cocktails. It opens at 4pm on weekdays, noon on Saturday and 11am for a Sunday brunch that ends at 4pm, running until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Weekend evenings get busy: one Saturday group gave up after half an hour on the waitlist at the bar. Reviews name individual bartenders and servers for warm, knowledgeable service, and the space has hosted wedding celebrations, but a handful of complaints cite sloppy management and one disputed card charge. The Google average sits at 4.0 across nearly 500 reviews.
