This is really good, it captures that sense of streetwise joy and cerveza going against the bitter lyrics! I just love it when a mix makes me airplay drums! But trolls are gonna troll, so:
That snare sounds really good, but might end up being too dominant and a little "out" compared with the spatial sense of the rest of the drumkit, if that makes sense. Some substractive EQ around the 400-800hZ's maybe? Not very specific, I know, I'm not the most frequencies table savvy!
Vocal is dry, even with that slapback delay (maybe the predelay time should be shorter, it sounds more like an noticeable effect than a sculpturing processing) and loud, like it was 10 meters in front of the band. I'm listening on closed headphones and that tends to squeeze the parts together, so that vocal could feel even more "out there" on speakers or open headphones. It could take a good step back and still command the tune nicely.
And lastly, though they are pretty different mixes, I think of something I also saw in javierpg84's mix...

...personally I would pan rhythm guitar and ride the same, since those are simple parts and that would help breathing the lead guitar so it could be a little louder and have some more presence (while conversely softening the strumming guitar a little bit), specially for the solo. You could reverse the stereo of the drumkit, or swap the guitars panning, whatever suits better.
Notwithstanding all that nitpick, this a solid mix, cheers!
