“The Zacazonapan cantina is located one block from Revolution
Avenue… some people know the place as the “Consulate of Amsterdam.’
Crystal, marijuana, heroin, cocaine are drugs that can be acquired and
consumed with great ease in this place. Nevertheless, the manager likes
to presume that the Zacazonapan is known by many people because it
has the best selection of music from the ‘80s.”
