La Ópera (Calle 5 de Mayo 10, Centro, Cuauhtemoc, Mexico City) — the decor at this storied bar reflects its history: All deep, dark, polished wood with tiled floors, filigreed ceilings, and frosted glass. It’s as if you’ve stepped into the 1870s (which is when the bar first opened). Both tourists and after-work regulars come here for traditional tequila service—a shot with a side of sangrita (a salty-sweet tomato-based shooter). Sip a little tequila, some sangrita, suck on a lime wedge, and repeat.
