About

La Cucaracha is a lively Mexican‑American restaurant tucked off Via Mocenigo in Rome’s heart. The kitchen is helmed by chef Diana Beltran, who left Acapulco for Italy at 18 and has since stolen the taste buds of locals and high‑profile guests alike—including Pope Benedict XVI, whom she greeted with a private meal each December for the Vatican’s cultural exhibition. The menu blends traditional Mexican staples with a contemporary twist, offering spicy specialties, hearty vegetarian and vegan dishes, and an extensive selection of beers and cocktails that complement its Latin‑inspired décor. Serving from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily, La Cucaracha is a restaurant that thrives on atmosphere, music, and the promise of a lively night out for families, couples, and single travelers alike.
