Synopsis

A down-on-his-luck mariachi group gets the call of a lifetime when they are named finalists in a national contest for the best mariachi band in Mexico. The winning group will receive a prize of 250,000 pesos and will have the honor of performing Las Mañanitas for the Virgin of Guadalupe at the Basilica on December 12. The problem begins when they lack a member to be able to participate, so they integrate the son of one of them, a young rocker. During their travels, they encounter a series of unexpected events, turning their whole trip into a complete odyssey.^[4][5]

He also praises the main cast, especially Mariana Treviño who gives a very funny performance.^[13] On the other hand, Mario P. Székely from Siete24.mx described this film as a Mexican comedy with nothing special, whose story does not seek to continue beyond the obvious and the silly, although it highlights the charisma of the actors.^[14]
