Para tomar un trago

Here are the places I use to go when I’m craving a drink with my friend. I personally love Palomitas, a cocktail with mezcal and grapefruit juice.
Iconic place close to the apartment to the enjoy a drink. I recommend you to taste una “Palomita”, a bitter mescal cocktail with grapefruit juice.

This a trendy and crowdy bar that opened a year ago close to the apartment. You’ll find craft beer, natural wines (tasty but a bit expensive), and good food to join it. And of course live DJ music

Un café por favor

Mexico is producing one of the best coffee in the word, so what a better country to have a coffee break ?
One of the best coffee in town in my opinion. Go there for a break and see passing by all the creative people living in the neighborhood. You’ll most likely see me as well because I go there almost daily for my flat white. —- C. Pedro Moreno 1104, Col Americana —- Para mi, uno de los mejores café del barrio. Siéntense aquí un momento para ver pasar todo los creativos del barrio. Seguro ahí me cruzarán también porque voy casi diario para mi flat white
