Mexican Wrestling and Gastronomy Show

Experience Mexican Wrestling and Gastronomy in Mexico City

If you’re looking for a lively, culturally rich evening in Mexico City, the Mexican Wrestling and Gastronomy Show offers a fantastic combination of thrilling lucha libre, delicious local food, and authentic mezcal cocktails. For around $139, you’ll spend about 5 to 6 hours immersed in the high-energy atmosphere at Arena México, one of the most iconic wrestling venues in the world. Whether you choose the dinner package with transportation or prefer to arrive and sample Mexican cocktails beforehand, this tour promises a memorable night packed with entertainment and flavor.

What we particularly appreciate about this experience is the opportunity to witness a genuine Mexican tradition—lucha libre—performed by internationally recognized fighters. Plus, the food options are designed to match the day of the week, offering authentic dishes like pozole, tacos, and enchiladas, which truly showcase Mexico’s culinary heritage. Another highlight is the mezcal tasting—a chance to sip on three classic mezcal cocktails—that adds a layer of cultural appreciation to the overall evening.

A Deep Dive into the Mexican Wrestling and Gastronomy Show

The arena’s design and history lend a genuine feel of stepping into an institution that’s been part of Mexico’s cultural fabric for decades.

The meeting point is conveniently located right in front of the arena, within walking distance of public transportation, making it easy to access whether you’re staying downtown or elsewhere in the city.

Food and Drink: Savoring Mexico’s Flavors

Depending on the day you attend, the dining experience varies:
