XHAR-FM (branded as La Mexicana) is a Mexican Spanish-language FM radio station in Tampico, with transmitter at Pueblo Viejo, Veracruz. History XEAR-AM 1490 received its concession on July 11, 1980. Owned by Enrique Cárdenas González, a future Governor of Tamaulipas who owned various radio stations in the state, it broadcast with 1,000 watts.
