La Bonita

La Bonita is a hip yet historic cantina with a speciality; they serve pulque, a traditional, milky-white spirit that's been drunk in Mexico since the time of the Aztecs. Along with the usual menu of local dishes, La Bonita is a great place to immerse yourself in Mexican tradition. Ignore the urban myths you might have heard about the preparation of this beverage, and try it here. Modern takes on Mexico City's street food make for exciting and always appetising accompaniments.

If you aren't in the mood for trying pulque, a selection of other specialist liquors and spirits from around the country are available, and can be made into an array of different cocktails. There is a terrace upstairs with a varied music selection. It's a great traditional Mexican pulquería which has reinvented itself to appeal to a contemporary crowd.
