Cantina El Bosque

Founded in 1937, Cantina El Bosque is one of Mexico City’s most emblematic old-school cantinas. Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time: wooden furnishings, lively conversation, and the unmistakable spirit of traditional Mexican cantina culture.

The menu focuses on classic comida cantinera, executed with confidence and nostalgia. Standouts include the celebrated Pescado a la Sal, the comforting Taco de Papa con Queso, and hearty house specialties like milanesas and tacos de chamorro. To drink, order the legendary signature cocktail Cascada. A favourite among locals and curious travellers alike, it’s an essential stop for anyone seeking authentic flavours, history, and true cantina atmosphere.
