It was pretty cool to go up. 200 pesos is probably a bit much for the experience, but the view is spectacular. Buying tickets at the counter was no problem. There’s both indoor and outdoor viewing areas if you aren’t keen on heights like me. There’s a small cafe and a popcorn/ice cream stand at the top which was nice to sit and eat with the view. I’d probably skip it next time, but was worth the adventure.

The Torre Latinoamericana in Mexico City is a must-visit landmark offering stunning views of the city. I've had the pleasure of visiting both during the day and at night, and each experience was equally impressive. The panoramic vistas from the observation deck are breathtaking and provide a unique perspective of the sprawling metropolis below. However, the cafeteria on site leaves much to be desired. The food quality is mediocre at best, so I wouldn't recommend planning to eat there. Instead, focus on the main attractions: the views and the museum. Speaking of the museum, the free tour is worth a quick stop. It takes about 30 minutes to explore, making it a convenient addition to your visit. While not a must-see, it does offer interesting insights into the history of the tower and the city. One major downside is the virtual reality experience they offer. Avoid it. The visors are old, and they smell bad. Plus, the cables are damaged, resulting in lots of red lines on the screen that ruin the experience. In summary, Torre Latinoamericana is worth visiting for its incredible views and the brief but interesting museum tour. Just skip the cafeteria and the virtual reality attraction.

Went to restaurant for a snack and beverage. Pasta dish, Perrier and cerveza 502 pesos plus tax and tip (undeserved for atrocious service, but I still left one) not that expensive. Also allows one to skip the line to the observation deck, which is a smaller fee. Two annoyances: they would not let me use the bathroom because I did not have a ticket to the observation deck. Waiting in line downstairs for 20-30 minutes wasn’t happening, so I just left. Also, the service was poor. Waited at my table for 10+ minute before being acknowledged, waitstaff did not provide cutlery, and I waited 5+ minutes to get a fork as my gluey ravioli sauce congealed. Then getting the check took forever. Worst restaurant service in Mexico City during my trip. Perhaps I was spoiled by such good / attentive / genuine service elsewhere in Mexico City.
