There’s an absolute art in dressing like a mariachi or charro (Mexican rodeo riders), and the clothing of both groups share some similarities: form-fitting suits, jackets (and, in the case of mariachis, pants) with metallic adornments, silk bows, Mexican-made cowboy boots, and, of course, the all-important sombrero. If you’re shopping for your inner mariachi or charro, then Trajes de Charro FM in the Centro Histórico is a good place (though, it should be noted, not the only one) to shop alongside the pros. Bring plenty of pesos or plastic-- these duds aren’t cheap.
