Skyline Coffee

A two-storey café with a rooftop terrace directly across from Benito Juárez, positioned for landings on 05R/05L. Evenings are busiest because that is when the long-haul arrivals come in. Practical warning from many visitors: you must order food and drink at the same time as paying the terrace entrance fee - you cannot order once inside without rejoining the queue, which can be long. The view is excellent; the food and service are the weak point. Same area-safety caveats as elsewhere around MMMX apply.

Lens guide

70-200mm from the terrace for aircraft on short final; 100-400mm for the far runway.

Best time

Open 11:00-21:00, closed Mondays. Evenings for the long-haul arrivals bank; expect it packed then.

Parking

Paid terrace entrance. Order food and drink when you pay entry, not after. Take care in the surrounding streets.
