Arriba Abajo Rooftop Cantina

Arriba Abajo is a Mexican cantina on the fourth-floor rooftop of the Thompson Austin hotel, known for its shared plates from Oaxaca to the Yucatan, fajitas, handcrafted tacos, and a menu that runs from ceviche-style tostadas to wagyu birria. The cocktail list includes frozen margaritas, ranch waters and a spirit menu, and the bar also pours mezcal and a range of beers and wines.

The rooftop has a pool and an open-air patio, and the space suits large parties. Reservations can be booked on the website for a set time and party size, and gift cards are sold online. The restaurant sits on the fourth floor, so the elevator is the way up.
