    This place did not let us in which we waited over 20 min for, I wish they had let us in! We were really looking forward to it but the bouncers were incredibly disrespectful. Do not recommend, spend your time going somewhere else. -10 out of 10

    There was an enormous line to get in which led me to believe this place was worth the wait... nope. Everyone was shoulder to shoulder inside and it took over 10 minutes to just order a drink. The only thing I really enjoyed was the crowd, a lot of young people ready to party, just a bummer that the establishment itself wasn't sufficient enough to properly accommodate the crowd.

    Cafe Paraiso is indeed not the most friendly place at the door. Say 50/50 you'll get in within a 20min wait, that if you have the looks and the right attitude. The place inside has a very friendly and young crowd, the sad part about the music genre: it is some sort of mix between house and Cumbia. It is nice for the first 30min but after that it becomes repetitive. The place would benefit with a propper reggeaton sesh or more regular latin music. Drinks are good and it should not take that long to get if it is before 2:30am. After 3am the place gets really crowded so please go here if you want an early comeback.

    This place has a very LA door policy... they make you wait outside, just to make the place seem amazing. It's not worth the wait! The door men are rude (they clearly need to showcase power somewhere, since they must have partners who boss them around at home) and will only let people they know inside. The music is ok and the crowd are mostly 25 something year old fresas. There are way better places to go for a night out than here! An overrated chav nightspot!

    Don’t even try to go. They won’t let you in. I even had Nacho to call them and they won’t even believe me. They are very rude and having the worst attitude, this place will make you very upset. So don’t lose your time in coming

    The doorman blatantly asks for money to let you in (on top of the cover), the place is super small, overcrowded so you can't really dance, and the waiters 'forget' to give your change back... There are much better places to go out in CDMX

    If you don’t know someone you don’t get in, plain and simple. The doormen are rude and will let countless people ahead of you just cause they “name drop”. Get off your high horse! This place is not worth being vetted to come in.

    The bouncers at this establishment are the definition of - excuse me for my French- douche bags. Girls only get in. And they’ll make you wait ++ time to get in otherwise. And between you and me, it’s nothing special once you do get in.

    Tacky as all hell. This is like le Bain or something NYC (honestly tackler if possible) Music is basic af (a good thing but overrated here) Packed to the brim with bunch of teenagers that call themselves "fresa" which just means no taste.

    I had a very disappointing experience. I came here from half way across the world (literally from Sāmoa) and know the bar manager at La Zaranda (German) and also the Manger, Octavio who were EXTREMELY NICE and recommended going to Cafe Paraíso for dancing after the upstairs bar closed. When we went to Cafe Paraíso tonight, which is part of the same company as La Zaranda (Archipielago), I was treated EXTREMELY poorly. The complete opposite from La Zaranda. We came with guys that had a reservation and they turned us away in the most humiliating way possible. Super shocking for the “high-end” Zone, Roma. The Cafe Paraíso manager, Oscar, was VERY rude. The bouncers were also very VERY rude! I have never been treated this way anywhere in the world. I would NOT recommend going to this place. They make you wait for a super long time outside in the cold, very well knowing that they will NOT let you in. I felt discriminated against and the dishonesty from the staff is superb. The neighborhood, Roma Norte, is very high end and places like these are a total disappointment. You’re better off going to places with better staff where you’re treated as an actual human being. Xoxo.

    A 35 minute wait to be is a cigarette smoke filled overpriced club. Not worth the wait or the hassel. Guys also need to pay 200 pesos to get into the club.
