Pulquería las Duelistas

Considered one of the oldest pulquerías in the country, “Las Duelistas” is located in this city’s Historic Centre, where it invites passers-by to enjoy one of the 45 “curados” prepared on the premises.

Pulque is the spontaneously fermented sap of certain giant agaves, with a slightly viscous texture, many well-documented nutritional qualities, and about the same potency as beer. It is said that in the 1880s, there was a pulqueria on every block in Mexico City. Now there are just a handful of places like this that exclusively serve fresh pulque.
