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.

It's closed. Sorry. Awesome location. We didn't eat but drank puque and it was amazing!!read more

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!

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.

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.

The bartender seemed tired or maybe just over it--definitely not in the mood for small talk. Drinks were decent, but nothing memorable.

Very hard to find a joint!! This place we finally found on a sleepy Monday night. Founded in 1948 it hasn't changed much inside they said. Ordered some Victoria's & Mezcal and chatted with the locals for a few hours! They gave us tips on food as well as other Cantinas in the area/ very few they said!!

I say seated with parenthesis because most people end up standing here but we got lucky that a couple was leaving as we were right next to them after being asked our drink orders. It's kind of a weird system that they have and I think the staff didn't realize we didn't have our drink orders taken yet and asked the people behind us for theirs which was slightly annoying. It was a bit chaotic so I can see why it happened, but I do think they need a slightly better system. Anyways, the drinks were excellent and I love that they gave us a little small snack that included crickets (which I hadn't tried before yet). The vibes in here are really nice too. I love the dim lighting and the almost rock/clay atmosphere. The bathroom area is smaller than I was expecting but it was ok. I'd definitely return!

There are no seats, this is a standing bar except a few uncomfortable bar stools. Drinks were good, but I expected more. I got the colada and it was good, not too sweet. Almost clarified colada.
