Known formicheladastacos doradostacos
La Faena is a classic old-school cantina in Centro Histórico decorated with bullfighting memorabilia and matador outfits, serving micheladas, tacos dorados, and other traditional Mexican fare in a spacious, historic hall with a jukebox spinning Mexican classics. The service is attentive and the crowd is lively and down-to-earth. Note that it officially closes at 10:30 PM, though staff may let in groups if you tip the doorman.
