Located in the El Rey motor court....off the beaten tourist path. You wouldn't guess from the outside, but La Reina is super chic, and the locals favorite place for an affordable Mezcal drink.

Sightseeing
Fun for all ages. A little trick....they have concerts (during non-pandemic times.) They bring some pretty crazy acts to town, generally affordable, and you can get into the exhibit for a little while before the show. The place is generally pretty empty, so you can spend some quality time just hanging out in some of the cool spaces.
