    Huracanzote

    This fun bar is a quirky tribute to both kitsch and Huracán, Mexico’s favorite champion of lucha libre (wrestling). The walls are covered in funky 1960s-style florals superimposed with Huracán’s wrestling mask. You can prop yourself up in a ‘boxing ring’ surrounded by, um, women’s lingerie.
