If you’re seeking an experience that combines authentic local flavor with a lively spectacle, then this tour — Live the Fight with Tacos and Tequila — might be just what you’re looking for. Although we haven’t personally taken this exact tour, the concept—witnessing a live lucha libre match alongside a local wrestler, topped with tacos and tequila—sounds like a fun, immersive way to dive into the heart of Mexico City’s vibrant culture.
What we love about this experience: first, it offers a chance to connect with Mexican wrestling lore directly from a professional wrestler, who shares anecdotes and stories that bring the sport’s colorful history to life. Second, the combination of tacos, tequila shots, and live lucha libre makes for a truly local, memorable evening.

A Closer Look at the Tour Itinerary

This tour kicks off in the lively neighborhood of Colonia Roma Norte, a hub of Mexico City’s trendy eateries and boutiques. The meeting point at C. Morelia 103 positions you in a vibrant area, making it easy to get there via public transit or a short walk. From here, the adventure begins with a relaxed walk or brief transportation to the historic Arena Mexico—the heart of Mexican lucha libre.
As you settle into the arena, you’ll be surrounded by the electric atmosphere typical of Mexican wrestling. Expect to see professional wrestlers (or “luchadores”) in their colorful masks and flamboyant costumes, performing high-flying maneuvers and dramatic storytelling in the ring. The tickets grant access to this renowned venue, offering a front-row experience to Mexico’s beloved sport.
Meanwhile, your host—a professional wrestler—will share stories during the evening, giving you insight into the world of lucha libre. These anecdotes often reveal humorous, surprising, or inspiring tales from their personal journey. It’s a rare chance to hear directly from someone immersed in this cultural phenomenon.
Interwoven with the wrestling is a tasting of authentic tacos and tequila shots. The food and drink are part of the experience, not just add-ons. You’ll sample traditional Mexican snacks, and the tequila shots are likely to come with stories or explanations about their significance in Mexican culture.
The experience wraps up back at the original meeting point, leaving you with a souvenir—a fist-shaped mask—to remember your day of wrestling, food, and fun.
What’s Included and What’s Not
For $80 per person, this tour covers all fees and taxes, plus the materials needed for you to participate fully. That includes the tacos, tequila, snacks, and the mask gift—a package designed to give you an authentic, hassle-free experience. Alcoholic beverages are part of the package, so be prepared to enjoy some shots and drinks as part of the fun.
However, it’s important to note that private transportation isn’t included. If you’re staying far from the meeting point, arranging your own transport might be necessary. The tour is designed to be accessible, with a meeting spot near public transportation, making it easy to reach without fuss.
What Travelers Can Expect
Although reviews are not yet available, the description suggests that most you will find this a relaxed, lively experience. The small group size—limited to 12 travelers—ensures a more personal and engaging interaction, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and take photos.
Participants can expect to learn about Mexican lucha libre from someone who has lived it, making it more than just a show. The combination of storytelling, sport, and Mexican cuisine provides a well-rounded cultural snapshot. The inclusion of a souvenir mask allows you to take home a tangible piece of your experience, perhaps becoming a conversation starter back home.
Analyzing the Value
At $80, this experience packs in quite a bit: live wrestling, a local host’s stories, tacos, tequila, and a souvenir mask. Compared to paying separately for tickets to a lucha libre match, food, and drinks, it’s a fair package. Plus, the intimate group size and insider stories add authenticity that larger, more commercial tours often lack.
If you’re a wrestling fan or eager to see a quintessential Mexican tradition in a lively setting, this tour offers a great value for your money. It’s not a formal, museum-like experience; it’s a lively, insider look at a beloved sport.
