Every night the city鈥檚 mariachi bands belt out heartfelt ballads in this festive square. Wearing silver-studded outfits, they toot their trumpets and tune their guitars until approached by someone who鈥檒l pay for a song. Also roaming Garibaldi are white-clad son jarocho groups, hailing from Veracruz, and 苍辞谤迟别帽辞 combos, who bang out northern-style folk tunes. The notoriously seedy Garibaldi continues to undergo a makeover that includes heightened security, but caution is still sensible. Check restaurant bills and avoid withdrawing money from the ATMs here.
The latest addition to the plaza is the Museo del Tequila y el Mezcal, which has exhibits explaining the origins and production processes of Mexico鈥檚 two most popular distilled agave drinks.
Metrob煤s l铆nea 7 runs along Reforma from Chapultepec and El 脕ngel, passing here at the 'Plaza Garibaldi' stop.
