Pulqueria La Hija de Los Apaches
The pulquería “La Hija de los Apaches” is a legend in Mexico City.
The tradition of this pulquería, the good service of its staff and the
charisma of its owner, the legendary “Pifas”, make this place one of the
most famous and popular pulquerías today.
A traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the agave (maguey) plant:
~ 3-4% alcohol
This was the time when pulquerias also gained the character for which they are known today:
elaborate décor and unique names.[13] Both inside and outside the pulquerias were decorated
with vibrant, gaudy murals (commonly of the Virgin of Guadalupe) and the extravagant names
of the pulquerias competed to attract customers.
Pulque is a pre-Hispanic drink that dates back to the Mesoamerican period.
It was considered sacred by the Aztecs and was believed to be the nectar of the gods.
