"Quaint and cute is the best way to describe Baltra, which feels like a neighborhood institution even though it’s only been open for less than a decade. Cocktails are the move here (our favorite is the Old George Sour with tequila, absinthe, cucumber, and cardamom), but they also have some great wines by the glass and a few craft beers. This Condesa spot only has a few tables and barstools, making it better for a date than big groups. They’re open until midnight during the week and 2am on the weekends, so come for a nightcap with someone you want to sit close to." - guillaume guevara
"A diminutive bar off lush Plaza Iztaccíhuatl with an unusual Charles Darwin theme that helps reiterate the evolution of Mexico's cocktail scene." - Nils Bernstein

According to Jose Luis Leon, executive director of Licorería Limantour, ranked in the top 50 bars in the world: "Baltra is part of our company, but in my personal opinion, this bar is developing the most tasty drinks in Mexico and has one of the best spaces to enjoy a cocktail in Mexico City."
