What Are the Most Popular Mexican Beers?
Cold, crisp, and sunshine-ready—let’s talk Mexican beer.
Picture this: a warm day, a plate of tacos, and a cold bottle with a tiny “pssst” when you pop the cap. You can almost taste it, right? Good. Because the right beer turns a nice snack into a party. Let’s find your perfect sip—fast.
Short answer: The most popular Mexican beers are Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Pacifico, Dos Equis (Lager Especial), Tecate, Sol, Victoria, Negra Modelo, and Bohemia. These are easy to find, easy to love, and great with food.
Meet the classics (quick flavor notes)
- Corona Extra – Light, crisp, gentle grain. Smooth with a lime. Beach in a bottle.
- Modelo Especial – Golden lager. More flavor than Corona, still super smooth. Crowd-pleaser.
- Pacifico – Clean and bright. Slightly bready. Tastes like seaside air and fish tacos.
- Dos Equis Lager Especial – Light yet tasty. Balanced and easy-drinking.
- Tecate – Classic party lager. Dry, crisp finish. Great for ice-cold cans.
- Sol – Very light and sunny. Bright sip, quick finish. Lime-friendly.
- Victoria – Amber lager. Toasty, smooth, gentle caramel notes.
- Negra Modelo – Darker Vienna-style lager. Toast, caramel, super smooth—not heavy.
- Bohemia – Pilsner with a snappy bite and clean finish. “Chef’s kiss” with salty snacks.
How to pick in 5 seconds

- Taco night (spicy!): Modelo Especial, Dos Equis
- BBQ & burgers: Tecate, Victoria

Perfect pairings you’ll actually use
- Al pastor + Pacifico: clean sip, pineapple & chili pop.
- Carnitas + Victoria: toasty meets savory.
- Birria + Negra Modelo: caramel notes hug slow-cooked beef.
- Fish tacos + Corona/Sol: breezy, citrusy, happy.
- Guac & chips + Bohemia: crisp snap vs. creamy avocado.
- Elote + Dos Equis: buttery corn, bright lager.
Lime or no lime?
Lime is tasty with light lagers (Corona, Sol, Pacifico, Tecate). Skip it for darker or fuller beers (Victoria, Negra Modelo, Bohemia), so you don’t hide the toasty notes.
