Durango Cocina & Rooftop

Love this place!! I've been to the restaurant and the rooftop at different occacians, and it's beautiful. Food is stunning and delicious. Excellent cocktails. Highly recommend!!

Located inside a sleek boutique hotel, Durango Cocina hits you immediately with a high "cool factor." The decor is effortlessly trendy, striking a perfect balance between high-end chic and welcoming warmth. The service was, quite frankly, impeccable. Every staff member we encountered had a genuine smile and a level of attentiveness that made the entire Valentine's evening feel comfortable and upbeat. Victoria our waitress always came to check on us and made sure we are doing well. We opted for the Valentine’s Prix Fixe Menu, which offered a choice of two starters, two entrées, and two desserts. Most of the dishes were vibrant and delicious—a modern, refreshing take on Mexican roots that truly surprised us. However, I have to be firm on one major point: the "12 oz Ribeye" meant for two. As someone who knows a good cut, this was not a steak. It was paper-thin—more like a slice of beef brisket you’d find at a casual diner than a premium ribeye. I seriously doubt it hit the 12 oz mark, and for a Valentine's centerpiece, it was a bit of a letdown in terms of substance, even if the flavor was excellent. A word to the wise: The parking situation is a hurdle. The lot right outside is entirely claimed by valet. If you don't want to use it, you’ll be hunting for a spot in the residential blocks down the street. It’s a bit of an inconvenience for a romantic night out. Despite the "paper-thin" steak and the parking puzzle, we had a very enjoyable evening. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend checking it out for the inventive flavors and the stellar atmosphere. Pros: * Trendy, beautiful atmosphere • Friendly, attentive staff • Creative and delicious modern Mexican cuisine Cons: * Inconvenient parking (unless using valet) • "Steak" portion was underwhelmingly thin

Was such a fun time and staff was amazing!! Loved Chris Savannah and Jordan Michael! Very hospitable and the food was great portion sizes! the drinks were sooooo good and so pretty! Very aesthetic and a great place to vibe, yap and dance! No idea how anyone could leave a bad review here. Tik tok didn’t disappoint with this one.

If you’re in the mood for a nice night out — good food, creative cocktails, a rooftop view, and want something nicer than your average Mexican joint — Durango Cocina & Rooftop is worth it. It’s not cheap, but the experience (ambience + food + service) tends to make up for it. I had the tuna and it was amazing, super fresh and full of flavor. If I were you, I’d go there when I want to treat myself or meet friends for something more special. If you want cheaper eats or a quick bite, maybe another place would do.

Beautiful restaurant! They did a great job with the design. I had the fish tacos with black beans and rice. They were delicious! I had some drinks on the rooftop and the view of the mountains was beautiful. I also had peach margaritas 🍹 and those were great. So glad Rancho finally is stepping up with a rooftop in the city.
