Pulquería

Pulqueria is the Mexican spinoff from the owners of Apotheke . In addition to food they offer beer , Micheladas , and Mexican inspired tequila and mezcal-based cocktails like pulques and Jarrito Locos.

Awesome basement restaurant on Doyers street! Good margaritas (expensive though!) Went on a Thursday night and the DJ had the whole bar on the dance floor ????????

The music in here is awesome. No problem with doorman if you call ahead. The drinks are super tasty. We were totally surprised by uber cool ambience of this place. This is my new secret spot. ;)

Walk down a hidden flight of stairs in Chinatown and you’ll wind up in Pulqueria, a Spanish joint with some damn tasty tacos . We’ll take ours with a side of cactus salsa , please. Read more

Great cocktails and a fun vibe. Fun throwback 90s hip hop and dancing too. Came for a birthday and loved it! Try the Smoking Gun cocktail and their spicy Tecates .

We had a large group and a menu to select from. EVERYTHING was absolutely awesome and the service was just as great. Thank you to the staff for a fabulous evening!

Restaurant/Club in basement . Great (but quite loud ) music plays in restaurant and bar/dance floor area. Recommend: Gringo Chicken Tacos , Tacos de Camarones , Esquites. Great Margarita list!

Went on Thursday night, no problem to get in. Dj was great, loved the music and we danced till they closed.The Mexican staff is super nice. Food is good but pricey .Great drinks.Loved the place!

The pineapple bomb is fun. Made with Pineapple , patron reposado , coconut , habanero , served frozen in a whole cored pineapple . Expensive but fun to share.

I went for my birthday with my boyfriend and had a great time. I love the interior and how it's sort of hidden. The guac was great and the drinks were tasty too.

Go to Pulqueria on Tuesday - discounted drinks and food all night. Lovely place, amazing staff , fantastic vibes and oh the food! Highly recommended!

The ensalada de la casa is to die for. We were sure there was bacon in it but it's purely vegetarian . Absolutely delicious, you can't stop eating it.

Apparently according to the (extremely nice) bartender this is the only pulque place in N America. Awesome food, awesomely liberal with free drinks. Highly recommended :)

Subterranean Mexican deep in Chinatown. Cool place to hang our good friends. Happy hour starting at 5pm Tue - Fri.

Great bar to check out on those nights when the line outside Apotheke just seems too hopeless

Not easy to find your first time. Doyers Street looks like an alley and there's no sign out front. Just take a leap of faith and go down the stairwell with the black and white square pattern.

ask for Sean @ the bar . adorable! order the sandia pulque and then the jalapeño cucumber margarita . then eat the pumpkin dip & street corn . yum! luv it here.

seriously underrated and unexpected (being in Chinatown)...get the kale+mushroom burrito , worth it even if you aren't vegetarian

Looking for an unmarked subterranean Mexican restaurant in the middle of Chinatown? Probably not, but now that you know it exists, you want to see it for yourself, don’t you? Read more

Go ahead, walk down that alley. It's the right place. Fear not, walk down those stairs into never land and choose the blue door. Then, all of the guac and queso .

A great festive hideaway under Doyers St. Unique and fresh ingredients in their mixed drinks . But how many "secret" bars does C Town really need?

Great Mexican restaurant in the middle of Chinatown of all places. The tacos are banging and the bartenders are great!

Really enjoyed the drinks here, well made creative cocktails . The music was pretty deafening in the lounge area .

This subterranean Mexican can improbably - yet credibly - lay claim to being one of the most expensive restaurants in Chinatown. You're paying for the atmosphere, although the food & cocktails are ????

Good portions of food and very tasty. The guacamole is a good option together with the tacos being the fried fish my favourites!!!

This bar specializes in pulques (made from fermented agave sap) and has a full menu with goodness like stuffed masa pockets known as Gorditas de Requeson O Papa Con Chorizo . Read more

Awesome drinks and food. Loving the atmosphere.

Drinks are really good. Food is tasty but a little overpriced. Come on the weekends for a dance party !

Restaurant and Bar is awesome. A good date spot , and great cocktails too. Dark and Intimate.

This trendy spot makes an amazing fermented agave drink called pulque which is soo yummy and unique. Reservations typically required from my experience...

Aside from the classic Mexican food served here, Pulqueria was the first restaurant in the city to offer offer Aztec spirit Pulque .

Below street level , charming find. A dinner side and a boisterous bar side, enjoy the Chinatown hideaway.

It is a great spot! The food is delicious and the service as well . The drinks are strong.

Friends and family brunch had a few kinks to iron out. Took forever to get our food but the guava mimosas , bloody marias and tortillas were great. The bar area looks awesome… (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Love this place! Can't beat reggae and Latin dance party on a Sunday night! Skip Apotheke and go here instead.

Mexican restaurant with bar downstairs, great for a dance . Next to Apotheke for cocktails before!

Loved the Mango Pulque , all dips were amazing and tacos were delicious. Will be coming very soon

You definitely want to make a reservation . It was a long wait on a rainy winter Friday night. Worth the wait, though

This subterranean Mexican spot (found in Chinatown of all places) has started serving brunch with chilaquiles , guava mimosas and DJs from noon to 6 p.m. Read more

This is the entrance, go down the stairs, right next to Apotheque. Enjoy :)

Such a cool, underground spot in a surprising location. A little pricey for the quality though.

HH all night long! $8 micheladas and margaritas . $4 tacos . Chicken taco is the best one. Trust me.

Don't be swayed by the scary door to get in. Try the pumpkin seed dip . Though this place is thoroughly hip , their entrees are still enough to fill you up.

Their version of a dark n stormy has tequila - it's delicious. Don't miss the sikil pak, mole tostadas , or the elote

If you don’t get the taco party platters you’ve made a big mistake. Enchiladas are good too

Great food, Great drinks and awesome stuff, what else you need?

Great atmosphere and nice selection of pulque and mezcal in the city

Amazing queso !! ALso very good mango pulque . The chicken tacos are delicious

If you come for dinner with friends you want to talk to, sit in the back. That's the quietest spot.

Isidro the beverage director is an amazing guy who will sit down with u n explain the whole pulque process. He also gives classes on tequila .
