Mexico City

Pulquería entertainment in Mexico City

  1. A

    La Hermosa Hortensia

    Opening onto Plaza Garibaldi, this is a good pulquería for beginners: its hygiene is above the norm, they’re used to seeing foreigners, and the atmosphere is 100% ‘familiar.’

  2. B

    Las Duelistas

    Now graffitied with pre-Hispanic psychedelia, this classic pulquería alongside the Mercado San Juan has been rediscovered by young artists and musicians. Despite the new look, the pulque is still dispensed straight from the barrel in a variety of flavors like mango and coconut.

  3. C

    Pulquería El Templo de Diana

    This classic pulquería, a block east of the main market, has a cheerful sawdust-on-the-floor vibe, with a mixed-age crowd enjoying giant mugs of the maguey-based beverage behind the swinging doors. Even a few females may pop in. Pulque is delivered fresh daily from Hidalgo state, and expertly blended with flavorings like coffee, tomato and pine nut.
