Los Altos Istanbul

Taco me out

""Los Altos" is a Mexican restaurant on an Istanbul rooftop! I love going there in the evening, getting a chili mango margerita and talking with friends!"

Since I love Mexican food so much, I was very excited to try this new place in Istanbul. When you get on the roof, the beautiful view is what welcomes you first.

All I can say is that the food was absolutely delicious, one of best places that I have visited so far. The service was very quick and the waitresses were so kind and helpful when we couldn't decide what to have for food or drink.

We started with chili corn carne, quesidillas de carne, hamburger trio, guacamole chips and then of course followed with tacos and enchiladas suizas. We all enjoyed everything very much.

They also have a very large cocktail menu as well as imported beers and wines.You should definitely start with a cocktail while you enjoy the beautiful view of Istanbul. My favorite was the chili mango margarita :)

The restaurant is on the roof - it looks so magical with the Bosphorus lights on in the evening.The music is not so loud so you can have a long pleasant conversation with your friends and if you think that It is not easy to find this kind of place anymore, it's worth trying Los Altos.

They organise some special night events too so it is better to check their Facebook page before you plan to go there. Please don't forget: booking a table is a must for this place. 

I'm looking forward to going to Los Altos again during the day, enjoying the sunset while having my drink.
