The best neighborhood bars Mexico

Its history dates back to the late 19th century. The cantina has faithfully preserved its large bar carved out of wood and its lighting fixtures made from German beer mugs and stained glass. Inside, the old sign that forbids entry to "women, miners, shoeshine boys and people in uniform" still stands. The clientele is made up of locals and tourists curious about the place where William Burroughs used to come and throw himself a few. They still serve very traditional calditos de camarón and tacos that change every day.

The clientele of this unusual establishment, founded in 1954, looks like Rimbaud's Bateau Ivre... You enter through a corridor of blue tiles riddled with inscriptions of popular wisdom, to literally burst into a large room lit by neon lights and with old tiles. Meanwhile, the plastic furniture is dressed with deceptively shiny tablecloths and a Virgin of Guadalupe flashes to the rhythm of a Christmas garland. Here, you can still eat traditional dishes as you pour yourself a glass.
