Spicy Beer Craze Reaches New Heights
Saturday, 16 October 2004

'Juan Ontiveros Gomez, the owner of El Tio bar and restaurant on Av. los Arcos, sips one of his own micheladas. El Tio is just one of hundreds of establishments around the city that sell the popular beer-based drink.

Oaxaqueño specialties aren't exactly light bites.

Mexico may be known as the birthplace of chocolate, but the country offers a wide variety of other sweets, many of which are unknown to the gringo palate and not sold at the local Oxxo or 7-11.

Cafe Martinique de Clieu offers the best of three worlds. It feels like a luxury Italian cafe, it serves sought-after American breakfast foods such as pancakes and omelets, and it roasts its own Mexican coffee beans. As if all that were not enticing enough, Cafe Martinique employs three of the top ten baristas in Mexico.
