cheap clubs in toluca where i spilled drinks and met people
woke up at 3am craving chaos and typed this rambling thing. not sure why. toluca is this weird mix of concrete jungles and underground parties that don’t care about your safety or budget. i’m a freelance photographer who’s taken 47 selfies at one bar named ‘el ruiseñor’ but now my camera’s broken. whatever. let’s talk about clubs here.
quick answers about toluca
q: is toluca expensive?
a: depends. rent is cheap-like $300-500/month for a tiny apartment. but clubs? some charge cover charges. the ‘barril’ spot near the train station i went to once was $15 entry with free nachos. others? just bring cash and hope your wallet survives the night.
q: is it safe?
a: locals say yes, but i’d avoid barrios de pago after midnight. stick to main street or the gay district near the cathedral. had a guy follow me once-ended up being a vibe, not a threat. probably.
q: who should not move here?
a: people who hate noise and traffic. like, stop it. also-if you want solitude. toluca screams. like, literally. every corner has a club or a grinder clanging.
