The experience

Tacos, mezcal and a genuine Lucha Libre bout, led by a guide who explains the rules and the chants.

An evening that starts with tacos and a drink — mezcal, beer or pulque — at a local cantina or taqueria in Roma Norte or Centro, where the guide gives a primer on Lucha Libre’s history, rules and the chants to know before the bell rings.

From there, the group walks to Arena México or Arena Coliseo for the live show itself, with tickets and a surprise souvenir included — a first-timer’s way into the sport that would be hard to assemble alone.
