Ni Diablo Ni Santo - Lonchería y Cantina

Ni Diablo Ni Santo is a lonchería, cantina and cultural forum in San Andrés Cholula, Mexico. Its format brings together casual food, drinks and a changing programme of live entertainment, making it a place for an evening meal as well as a night out.

The kitchen focuses on Mexican antojitos and filling lonches, with familiar cantina-style food designed for individual meals or sharing. The menu also includes snacks for the table, while the bar serves cocktails, mezcal, beer and larger drinks intended for groups. The overall approach is informal and social rather than formal dining.

Entertainment is central to the venue. The programme includes stand-up comedy, social dance nights, music, theatre and invited events, with different communities and performers using the forum. Some evenings are built around dancing, while others focus on comedy or a special presentation. The changing calendar gives the space a different character from one visit to the next.

The atmosphere combines a neighbourhood lonchería with a late-evening cantina and performance space. Food and drinks accompany the events, so the venue suits visitors who prefer an active night with something happening around the table. It also works for friends meeting for drinks, groups attending a scheduled show and diners looking for a casual setting near Cholula’s central area.

Ni Diablo Ni Santo is located on Calle 6 Norte in the San Juan Aquiahuac area of San Andrés Cholula. Reservations are available for tables, groups and event nights, which can be useful when a popular performance or dance session is scheduled. The venue’s identity rests on the combination of accessible food, a full bar and regular artistic programming, rather than on a single signature dish.
