For this episode of Mexicalia, we visited the self named "Barrio Bravo" of Tepito in Mexico City. Tepito is one of the most iconic and dangerous neighborhoods in Mexico, we went there to watch a soccer game between one of the barrios' best known teams against Las Gardenias, a team made up by travesties and transexual people that live in the barrio.

After getting to know the girls one day before the game, we went to buy their uniforms and to do a quick check of the Maracaná stadium in the heart of the neighborhood.

On the day of the game, our host Alejandro Mendoza drank a lot of tequila, got undressed and felt up by the other team members and was part of the most epic game of soccer ever - just a normal day in the life of Tepito.
