While that can be true, I\u2019ve never found a place that has as strong a snack game as the <a href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/mexican-cantina-guide-cozumel\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1699\">cantinas in Cozumel<\/a>, where I lived for several years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these Mexico City cantinas only serve botanas with the second or third round. And even then it may be a light snack, such as cucumbers with tajin. If you\u2019re looking for more food, you\u2019ll need to order from the menu or ask about a menu del dia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>A quick note <\/strong>&#8211; On my many trips to Mexico City, I&#8217;ve sought out authentic cantinas where time seems to stand still. That\u2019s why you won\u2019t find La Peninsula on this list. It&#8217;s one of the oldest cantinas in Mexico City, but the newly renovated space felt like any other bar in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Above the bar hangs an old image of the z\u00f3calo, looking at the cathedral with trees in the foreground.

The menu also includes vodka, whiskey, and rum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The botanas are served when you order your second drink or third beer. And they lean a bit Spanish &#8211; stuffed olives, sardines, etc. The chalkboard to the right of the bar advertises the menu of the day which includes soup, a main dish, and drink for under 150 pesos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

I wasn&#8217;t sure if it would be considered a cantina. But after learning about its history and variety of former patrons, I&#8217;d classify it as so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its opening in 1895, the client list of this elegant bar includes famous historical figures such as Porfirio Diaz, Carlos Fuentes, Octavio Paz, and nearly all the presidents of Mexico. But perhaps the most notorious is Pancho Villa who fired his pistol and embedded a bullet in the ceiling during the Mexican Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/molding-bar-la-opera-mexico-city-770x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The intricate gold molding at Bar La Opera in Mexico City which also decorates the small arches in the wall.\" class=\"wp-image-69607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/molding-bar-la-opera-mexico-city-770x1024.jpg 770w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/molding-bar-la-opera-mexico-city-376x500.jpg 376w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/molding-bar-la-opera-mexico-city-188x250.jpg 188w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/molding-bar-la-opera-mexico-city-768x1021.jpg 768w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/molding-bar-la-opera-mexico-city-1155x1536.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/molding-bar-la-opera-mexico-city.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The menu includes a long list of cocktails as well as liquors you can order by the shot.

Gorgeous chandeliers hang from the ceilings which are adorned with ornate moldings. And large artwork depicting the world of bullfighting hangs on the walls, creating a space that\u2019s as much a museum as it is a watering hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Faena has a laid-back, almost theatrical atmosphere, where the golden age of bullfighting lingers in the air. Whether you\u2019re a fan of the sport or not, the setting alone makes it worth a visit. Grab a seat, sip a tequila or cerveza, and take in a piece of Mexico City\u2019s cantina history.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/margarita-mexico-city-bar-la-opera-770x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A margarita on the rocks with a salt rim sits on the bar at La Opera, a Mexico City cantina with an infamous past.

As you sip cocktails and beers, mariachi bands move from table to table, serenading guests with traditional songs for a fee. \u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the cantina&#8217;s popularity has grown over the years, attracting both locals and tourists, it\u2019s an experience that can\u2019t be missed.\u200b Whether you&#8217;re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, Sal\u00f3n Tenampa offers an authentic slice of Mexican culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Tip &#8211; <\/strong>Plaza Garibaldi has a reputation for being unsafe. And I think that\u2019s true if you\u2019re walking around drunk or in the middle of the night. I recommend being mindful of your surroundings and how much you drink. It\u2019s best to take an Uber there and back to avoid walking around the surrounding neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can, make time to visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/museums-in-mexico-city\/#tequila-mezcal-museum\">Tequila and Mezcal Museum<\/a> located in Plaza Garibaldi before going to Sal\u00f3n Tenampa.
