Drinks & Nightlife
Try some pulque here. It's a traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage that ferments in your stomach thus getting you more drunk. Personally I hate it but you got to try it while you are here.

Enjoy a drink and some nice food from here. There is also a few more more bars on this street ranging from cheap punky places to the more expensive El Depotisto on the corner of Isabela de Catolica with its range of imported beers.

They have mead, which is cool, cause the only other place I ever tried this was in England. Basically it is honey wine. They also have more alcohol, food and live music.

My local taqueria.
Great tacos here, either pastor, marinated pork, or tacos de cabeza, cow head. If you ain't tried cow head before its a bit weird at first but you get used to them. Cow tongue is the healthy steamed option.

A mexican chain but they do have for around a hundred peso a plate of taco de pastor which are great.
Ask for the "volcán de pastor" or something like that.

Gastronomica San Juan
77 2ᵃ Calle de Ernesto PugibetGood food market, lots of imported stock, and a lot of good places to eat.
El Silencioso
Best tacos and salsa in Centro Historico, try the suadero.
Famous and popular, but I do not recommend this place anymore. The quality of food has gone down, but not the prices; though at 2am on a Monday there usually ain’t nothing else open nearby.
