Yesterday I was tired from walking around all day. AND being that I was hungry I decided to go to Salon Paris, a 1940’s cantina where a mix of artists, poets and families go. They have great food that is free if you drink.

This is a favorite place of mine here in my neighborhood, Col. Santa Maria la Ribera. Great place to eat, drink and watch Lucha Libre on TV! Legendary Ranchera y Mariachi singer Jose Alfred Jimenez used to work at Salon Paris as a waiter before he made the big time. They have pictures of the singer in the place paying homage. Check out the video below of Lucha Villa singing with Jose Alfred Jimenez.

Salon Paris now has a buffet on Sundays: all you can eat for $60.00 pesos, like $4.30 USD. Muy good price.
