Lucha Libre, a popular spectator sport in México, draws hundreds of aficionados. Winning wrestlers attain heroic and mythic fame.
On my first visit to México City, February, 1992, I met "Super Hawk", a retired wrestler, while having breakfast at VIP'S Restaurante at Ave. Insurgentes and Calle Dinamarca. He was eating "panqúe" (a slice of poundcake) y café.
(I had the desayuno combinado, with a surprise fruit and yoghurt cup. I don't remember what style of eggs I ate. :-)
That's a good introduction to México.
