¡Puro pinchi pulque!…read more La Nuclear was the meeting spot for our Lucha Libre experience, and honestly, it was the perfect first stop. We got to try cheese pulque (yes, cheese ) and passion fruit pulque, plus tacos de canasta and drinks galore. Beyond the experience itself, I loved the vibe of this place. La Nuclear has been around for years and has that old-school, no-frills CDMX energy that makes it feel like you're actually experiencing the city rather than just checking off another tourist spot. We had such a good time that I actually came back again without the tour group--which probably says everything. Great pulque, great atmosphere, and definitely a memorable stop in CDMX.

La Nuclear is the pulqueria dive bar you've been looking for…read more Tucked in the very beautiful and popular Roma Norte, La Nuclear is easy to spot with their OG sign and well-worn interior. No frills, all quality and wholesomeness. The walls are coated with murals and hilarious graffiti with confessions like "Call me (number here)" and "Ama Mexico." My friend and I were the only ones on an early afternoon and we went with the flavored pulque. They did offer the original, but we did the guayaba and passiflora. Both were tasty. Loved meeting one of the pulque-tenders and he explained to us the process of making pulque regarding fermentation and the use of the "heart" of the maguey. SO rad. Plus the pulque is much less alcohol content, so it's a great digestive. The power of maguey! Phew! Highly recommend checking these guys out. Grab a few friends, as the tables can fit comfortable a group of four. The tables felt like church pews, but it creates a cozy and intimate space.

Such a cool cocktail bar! The inside was warm and inviting but we got a table outside which was…read morealso nice with a lot of people watching.

We quickly found a table in the main bar area at a small high top so we lucked out with that! The vibe was sexy and very cool for a stop in the evening. I'm not a huge mezcal person and don't like spicy flavors so struggled to find something I loved but my boyfriend tried a mezcal flight and a spicy cocktail and he loved it all! The staff was also very friendly and happy to try to recommend a cocktail that would fit my preferences. For the vibe alone, this is worth a visit!

If you're looking for pulque, this is THE place to go! There are multiple floors, and each floor…read morehas different flavors! So make sure you check every floor for all the flavors they have to offer at that time. During our trip, some of the flavors we tried were grape, insurgentes, natural (aka plain), strawberries & cream, and mango. My favorite of the bunch was strawberries & cream! You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors - they're all (not too) sweetly flavored and have that fermented taste. Kinda like kombucha but milkier and fluffier. We stopped by here twice during our short trip. Highly recommend!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend and we opted for the terraza because it was a…read morebeautiful warm day. Our server was nice, but unfortunately they were out of some things including food options. I tried pulque for the first time and it was alright. It kind of made me tired (??), anyways... opted for the nachos and found them to be extremely basic and underwhelming. It was actually worse than a typical sporting event nachos. The cheese was cold and the chips they use weren't good.

I wanted to check this place since they specialized in mexcal…read more We came on a Saturday night and the place was packed with locals which I thought that was a great sign. We were about to leave since there wasn't an empty table for us but the waiter went out of his way to make room for us to sit, which was super nice. I had their version of mojito with Mexcal and it was different but good. M husband try a few mexcals and really enjoy them and my friend had some Mexican beer. If you are looking for a local hang out with a great selection of mexcals then this is the place for you.

El Aserrín - Just Okay…read more Stopped by El Aserrín for a quick drink. The place has a cool vibe, but the service was just okay. The bartender seemed tired or maybe just over it--definitely not in the mood for small talk. Drinks were decent, but nothing memorable.
