We had a very nice bartender who was new at making cocktails she said, but nevertheless made some very tasty cocktails. Our favorite was the Morena, and we also liked the mezcalina a lot.

Most of the cocktails were well priced at 79 pesos, so if you're in the mood for a beer or a mezcal, you should give it a try

Place is spacious on the inside with a good vibe. Bathrooms were clean. Menu is huge, they have a really crazy selection of drinks and food. Not sure if they're cash only or not.

Our goal was to score spots at the small bar. This place is small overall and if you want to have the tasting experience I suggest trying for a spot at the bar top. We spent some time at the small restaurant next door and enjoyed some great tacos and a quesadilla while we waited. The server let us know as soon as the bar opened and we dashed over to get our spots. We had a fluent Spanish speaker with us, so that was a huge help. Their Mezcal selection is organized by region and they were happy to consult on our preferences. Shots were generous and served with fresh orange slices, sometimes seasoned with a spice blend. We also sampled an ague fresca with ginger and tamarind that was great with the spirits. Music selection was crazy, obscure Japanese goth music maybe? It somehow went perfectly with the vibe of the place.

Their doubles are served more like quadruples yay them! My fiancé appreciated his whiskey pour. BEST CEASER SALAD I HAVE EVER TASTED. Our appetizer was great (the name was funny so not sure) it was Argentinean cheese on the grill with baguette and tomato. I've never tasted any cheese like this, my fiancé thought it was chicken. Did I say they have the BEST CEASER SALAD EVER (add the chicken it's delicious). Oh and I'm normally not a fan of ceaser. However full disclosure, the dressing is made like it was created, oil, egg, dijon and anchovies (no you can't taste the anchovies)! The burger was just the icing on the cake - chef's kiss x 100!

¡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.

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.

4-Star Review…read more Located in the heart of Mariachi Plaza (Plaza Garibaldi), Salón Tenampa is a true gem and an iconic destination for anyone looking to experience authentic Mexican culture. With over 100 years of tradition, this legendary venue is celebrated for its live mariachi music, historic atmosphere, good food, and excellent drinks. They offer a solid selection of mezcals, including labels like Koch and Amarás. While the food may not be the main attraction, it complements the experience perfectly. During our visit, we ordered the classic Pan de Muerto, Pan de Muerto with guava, classic flan, pina colada and fried sweet plantains. The fried plantains were absolutely delicious, and the classic Pan de Muerto was fresh and flavorful. The standout dessert, however, was the flan, which was simply out of this world. Based on the timing and day you visit there might be a wait at the short line, but its totally worth it. If you enjoy lively venues, great music, and a vibrant atmosphere, this place is definitely for you. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive, while the interior is beautifully decorated and full of character. The combination of historic charm, talented musicians, delicious desserts, and festive energy makes for a memorable evening. If you're looking for a genuine slice of Mexican music, culture, and history, don't miss Salón Tenampa. It's well worth a visit. (4/5)
