La Opera
Centro Histórico, Mexico City
Casual
Big Group Friendly
"The most classic cantina-bar in Mexico City, with over 100 years of history, is a hidden gem in the city center where time feels like it’s stood still. Since the Mexican Revolution, it has been a symbol of elegance and quality."
Mexico City Local
When La Opera opened in 1876, it was a pastry shop. But now, it's a beloved bar in Mexico City's Centro Histórico, serving dishes like Galician-style octopus and Chamorro de Gallega. This isn't the place for a cocktail. But you can stop in for some tequila and sangrita, plus a glimpse of the city's history.
