Mexico City Q&A

I've been looking for a while and so far, I've noticed that listings on websites and platforms are often inflated, and if you find a good deal, good luck in not getting outbid. Facebook and local groups are full of scammers and people with a distorted view of the market. I've been recommended to walk around the neighborhood and ask people or check with the building management.

My sister said it was awesome, but I'm not sure what to expect. We're visiting CDMX in early November and I want to make the most of it.

I'm planning a trip to Paso de Cortés with some friends who are in good physical condition. We have a car to drive there. I'm looking for recommendations on the best route to take and any other tips you might have.

I'll be traveling to Mexico City next week and was originally planning to do a hot air balloon tour at Teotihuacan, but the weather forecast looks cloudy. Is it still worth it on a cloudy day, or will visibility be poor?

I've been noticing that some 3B stores have been closing for 'maintenance' lately, and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this trend.

I'm visiting Mexico City for a week and staying in the Norte area near Marriott Reforma. I'm looking for good vegan friendly restaurants in the area, preferably within walking distance, as I'll be arriving late in the evening. I'd also like to know if it's safe to walk back from the Mexico Arena to Reforma at 11 PM on a Friday after a wrestling event.

I'm taking my two kids to Mexico City this coming weekend for a short stay. We'll be staying in the Roma Norte area and would like some restaurant recommendations for lunch on Friday and Saturday.

I'm visiting Mexico City for a short trip and have already booked attractions for the rest of my days. I'd like to visit Plaza de las Tres Culturas, the Museo Indígena, and Coyoacán, especially because my mother will enjoy the artisan market in Coyoacán.

I'm currently studying chemical engineering at UAM Azcapotzalco, but I'm interested in pursuing a second degree in pure physics. I'm aware that UAM is underrated and UNAM is overrated, but objectively, which one is the better option?

I'm visiting Mexico City with my family and looking for a central location near representative places. I found an Airbnb in Tabacalera, but the reviews have mixed opinions about the area's safety. I also considered Coyoacan or Alamos, but they are out of our budget.

My girlfriend wants to visit Mexico City again and we're looking for an affordable hotel. We're thinking of staying for a week with a budget of $10,000, which includes hotel, food, and everything else.

I am visiting cdmx staying near La Condesa November 1-8 and would like to go on a nature hike with my boyfriend. We are not hardcore hikers, but are fit and active. I see there are many trails near Popocatépetl and would love to get a view of it.

I've noticed that every few blocks, there's a new Sede Café. It's like they're everywhere. I'm starting to think it's suspicious.

I've been visiting Mexico City every winter for years and I've always found the coffee to be rather bitter and burnt, even at specialty coffee shops. I've tried it at various places in the city, from Vips to small cafes, but it's always had a similar taste. I'm starting to think that's just how Mexicans like their coffee, but I've also had some amazing coffee in Australia, so I'm curious to know if it's just me or if there's something I'm missing.

I'm a curious expat who's lived in Mexico City for 8 years, trying to understand the local culture and customs. I've noticed that frequent cleaning, especially with strong-smelling products like Cloro and Fabuloso, is a common practice here, but I'm not sure why it's so prioritized. I'm looking for insights from others who may have thought about this too.

I'm staying in the Juárez neighborhood and I want to visit the Anthropology Museum tomorrow. However, an Uber driver told me to stay indoors due to planned protests. I'm thinking of using Uber or Didi to get there around 10 am. Should I stick to my plan or stay home?

I'm a remote worker in Condesa and I'm looking for a place to buy CDs and DVDs for a friend visiting from out of town.

I've noticed some profiles on mileroticos that claim to offer services in specific locations, including some near my home. I've even received location details from a few of them, but I'm not sure if I should trust them.

I'm visiting Mexico City and did some vintage shopping, but the prices were really high. I saw a vintage Metallica tee shirt for $400 USD at a store called Erre. I also visited Thoro and was impressed, but they didn't have my size in several items. Are all vintage shops in the city like this?

We are visiting Mexico City for the first time this Friday for eight days and the forecast is for a lot of rain. We generally walk 6-10 miles a day and wander to explore, but we'll be taking Ubers more than usual.
