Known forcantinahistoricCentro Históricotraditional Mexican
A classic Mexico City cantina operating since 1870, serving cold beer, house wine, and traditional botanas in an old-school setting that feels genuinely historic. The botanas — small snacks brought to your table with each round — are part of the ritual and are excellent. It's cash-only, men-dominated in the old tradition, and closes in the afternoon.
