What a find. One of the oldest cantinas in the city. Rough and ready and loud. The real deal.

What a great bar, so lucky that I was taken there by a co-worker. Amazing tequila selection, great beer selection, amazing michiladas, and friendly atmosphere. Make sure you get the dessert too ...

Oldest cantina in Chihuahua. More than 100 years of tradition where you meet with anyone, for any reason and without social or economic class concerns.

A local friend took us here for a drink with a side of history. Apparently Pancho Villa used to hang out here. Lots of memorabilia is on display. It used to be an men-only establishment, but they started letting women come a few years back. It is a solid cowboy bar with a huge menu of drink options and food, as well. The service was attentive and professional. They start a tab at your table so you can always know how your total is adding up. There was a strolling band playing music by request, 100 pesos per song.

This was the first place we visited when we got to Mexico and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We flew into Chihuahua on a late flight and were looking for a quick place to grab a drink and something to eat. After a quick search we settled on this place and header over. This ended up being a little gem of a cantina, complete with live music and a great atmosphere. This isn’t ongoing to be your super clean fancy restaurant, but if your looking for a place that locals would frequent, this is it. The food was excellent and the service was fast and friendly. We loved it here so much that we ended up making it our last stop on our way out of Mexico.
