His English is perfect and he was more than knowledgeable about both the venues he took us and the cocktails themselves, so it was super easy for us to ask questions anytime we had one. Visiting one of the world's top 50 bars (I wont' give it away!) and the connections and relationships Mauricio has built with the management was worth the trip alone.

“El tour debe durar mas tiempo, en el recorrido se pierde mucho tiempo por el tráfico, debe haber mayor organización, en una de las cantinas solo había un mesero para atender a tanta gente, se tardan demasiado en atender en las cantinas, al final nos traen corriendo y tardan en cobrar lo que consumimos, debe haber comunicación con las cantinas y tener los lugares suficientes ya reservados para la gente que llega, en el Tenampa solo tenían mesa para 18 personas y eramos como 50, TODAS las cantinas debieran ofrecer Botana al comprar bebidas y NO fue así. por eso mi calificación. La Cantina LA MASCOTA, EXCELENTE TRATO, AMBIENTE, COMIDA,…”
