Overview

  • Two chelerías in Benito Juárez—Michis-Miches on Avenida Insurgentes Sur 1871 and Mr. Lucho in Narvarte—were closed for selling alcohol to minors and operating without valid permits.
  • The closures on July 12 followed an intensive verification operation by Alcaldía Benito Juárez in coordination with INVEA after citizen complaints highlighted underage promotions on social media.
  • From July 10 to 12, the ‘La Noche es de Todos’ campaign carried out 20 inspections across six boroughs, suspending two venues, sealing five for repeat violations and referring two individuals to the Ministerio Público.
  • The operation brought together the Secretaría de Gobierno, Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana, Secretaría de Gestión Integral de Riesgos y Protección Civil and INVEA to enforce nightlife regulations and recover public spaces.
  • Officials said they will maintain randomized, priority-based inspections driven by neighborhood reports to prevent unauthorized alcohol sales and strengthen public safety.
