We headed to La Perla as I had been there before and we were happily accepted and escorted upstairs to El Nivel, even though it was coming close to midnight and everywhere else was closing. Upstairs is completely different to downstairs. It is a more relaxed low light, spacious room, with a nice bar in the centre. We ordered a selection of tapas dishes which seemed to be more refined to what you would normally expect. Every dish was incredible, the Pork Belly was outstanding and so was the Gambas. We also had a creamy potato dish which reminded me of Dauphinoise which was unusual to see on a Mexican menu but worked. They also do an amazing set of cocktails and pride themselves on the tequillas they use. We ordered a cocktail, I can't remember the name, which had a surprisingly pleasant smokey taste to it. Very strong but still enjoyable. I would definitely recommend and would go back again. Maybe a more of an intimate/romantic venue compared to the loud/party like vibe that is downstairs.

'El Nivel' specializes in high-quality agave spirits, with some of them being rare or exclusive. During our visit we enjoyed a cocktail and a blanco tequila, which were both splendid with well-rounded flavours. The staff is friendly, and welcomes any comments you might have; it's pleasant to see that they're putting a lot of effort into making the place even better. So whether you're a tequila beginner or enthusiast, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Expensive and mediocre food. I read really good reviews about the food and got really disappointed. Never again!
