About Salón Tenampa
Salón Tenampa, at Plaza Garibaldi 12, is the square’s best-known cantina, its walls and ceiling covered in murals of the great singers. The music is acoustic and on request: mariachis, norteño trios and son jarocho groups come in from the square and play at your table (CDMX official tourism site). Agree the price per song before they begin.
