The home of mariachi in Mexico City. Bands in full silver-trimmed charro suits gather here every evening, ready to be hired by the song or the hour for weddings, birthdays, or strangers passing through. It is loud, slightly chaotic, and properly Mexican. Best after dark, but stick to the plaza itself and the well-lit streets — the surrounding neighbourhood is rough.
