10. La ingrata
The song of controversy, also its most famous and most chanted theme in all its concerts, a product of its times misunderstood by current political correctness, however a work of a spectacular caliber that shows for the first time to everyone that Café Tacvba came to put the name of Mexican music very high.

9. Olor a gas
Perhaps the least known song of our top or at least performed by this group since it is a cover of the three of them in their tribute production. Why does it appear on this list with so many more well-known and laureates? Because it’s our list and this song reminds us of that year 2004 when we went to his 15-year concert and sang it loudly in a spectacular presentation.

7. El borrego
Another little-known song on a list that we were able to fill with eternal hits, but this song is proof that the RE is an unrepeatable work and the best creation of Café Tacvba and Gustavo Santaolalla, this album was considered the sergeant pepper of Latin rock, we always agreed more with those who compared it to the white album, for its musical eclecticism demonstrated more than anything in this subject, simply spectacular.

5. Quiero ver
Café Tacvba was not characterized by its great romantic ballads and even less when they were as poperous as it is, but although with «Eres» they had already shown us that they could do it with outstanding quality, in this other song they perfected what they had previously achieved and took it to levels of the greats of ballads for lovers.

3. La muerte chiquita

2. María
There is consensus both among music critics and in the newsroom that the peak of Café Tacvba’s career is in its infancy, starting with its first album to reach its peak with the RE, so it is very difficult for us to choose the themes of those times that should top this list however we love María is a perfect song in her mix of rock in Spanish and Mexican music and that is why she appears in second place in this count.
