Botellita de Jeréz is a Mexican rock band, formed in Mexico City in 1982. Their music is a fusion of rock, cumbia, and Mexican traditional music like mariachi and son, creating the genre called guacarrock (rock and guacamole). The band was always distinguished by a festive and irreverent musical fusion, celebrating the culture of the nacos and integrating sketches and albures in its lyrics and concerts. Its style, a simple and direct rock, was combined with lyrics with a good dose of satire that portrayed the routine character of the urban life in Mexico City and elements of their popular culture.

In their song "Pinche Malinche", they created the famous phrase "Todo lo naco es chido" (All the naco is cool), trying to re-vindicate the popular culture of the lower socio-economic classes. Botellita de Jeréz pioneered a lot of trends of the contemporary art of Mexico and United States, since it incorporated motifs from the popular use as the lucha libre, popular dances and slang, which are now commonly used among the upper classes as well.
