Description:
The Salon Corona is a bit of an institution, and locals claim that if you have not been there… you have not been in Mexico City. A mixture between a cantina and a restaurant, Salon Corona has been a favourite, since the 70s, as a spot to watch big soccer games. The decor boasts some of those memorable socer moments both on the field and in the restaurant. The food is your typical Mexican fast food' tortas (the massive and delicious Mexican version of the baguette), 18 different types of tacos, quesadillas and some seafood classics. Salon Corona has a reputation for delicious octopus tortas and Torta al Pastor (a torta made with skewered pork, much in the Arab tradition of the doner kebab). The place is spacious and well lit and renovations have made it look as if it was a new comer to the Centro scene, even though it has an over 40 year tradition. Due to its popularity the Salon Corona has had to open another locale nearby.
