Café de Tacuba
Before the band there was the restaurant. Way before. A fantasy of colored tiles, brass lamps and oil paintings, this mainstay has served antojitos (tortilla-based snacks like tacos and gorditas ) since 1912. The atmosphere is just right for a plate of pambazos (filled rolls fried in chili sauce) or tamales with hot chocolate.
