The “most norteño World Cup”

What it costs
We couldn’t find a 2025 or 2026 source with prices for groups in Nuevo León. Mexico has no official rate table: each group sets its own price, and the number of musicians moves it most, according to Excélsior (June 2025).
As a reference, in Mexico City a 6- to 8-member mariachi charged 3,000 to 4,000 pesos an hour in 2025, according to the same article. Get two or three hourly quotes and compare how many musicians come and whether sound and travel are included.
