Mexico City Recommendations

One of the best meals of my life, with incredible Mole and good size portions. Located in CDMX.

Meet fellow travelers and locals at the bar area with picnic tables directly across the stadium entrance for pre-show drinks and music. Get there an hour before the show, as recommended by locals, to soak up the atmosphere and potentially meet new people.

Head to Paso de Cortés for spectacular views of the Popocatépetl volcano. Take the route from Paso de Cortés to La Joya, where you'll find a campsite with bathrooms, food stalls, and stunning views of the Iztaccihuatl and Popocatépetl volcanoes.

Check the La Ciudadela mercado, a good place to find a similar or exact replica of the scarf in question. You can find a similar or exact replica of the scarf by walking around different artisanal markets in the city.

Mercado de la Ciudadela is a great place to find authentic textile souvenirs, including guayabera shirts. It's a large market with a variety of vendors selling handmade goods, and you can find what you're looking for among the many stalls.

Maravilla Curly is a hair salon in Mexico City that specializes in curls. It can be more expensive than an average trim, but the experience is worth it.

Pinche Gringo BBQ is a great spot for good food and ambience. It's probably the best brisket you'll find in town, and never tried it for MNF but it's probably good.

Gringotax.mx is a perfect place to donate to nonprofits and grassroots organizations in Mexico City. They pass the money directly to neighbors in need or creative projects. It's great that you can choose which fund you give to, making it a worthwhile visit for those who want to make a difference in the community.

check out Por Siempre Vegana for some amazing tacos, they're super close and a total must-try. They're a solid option if you're looking for something more casual, and also a great choice if you want to try some authentic Mexican cuisine with a vegan twist.

El Cardenal is recommended for lunch on Saturday, located right next to the Art Museum. It's a good option for a more lowkey experience, and the kids will probably enjoy it.

try checking out “Círculo de la Moda” in Roma. they have some really stylish messenger bags that are also bike-friendly and water-resistant. They found a cool one there last month that was around 1,500 pesos.

La Cabaña in San Pedro Atocpan is a satisfactory place for mole, so much so that every time visitors come to the town, locals bring them there to eat. It's worth going to La Cabaña for the variety of mole available in the town, where the scent of mole is even noticeable in the air.

Pollos Poncho is a casual restaurant in the Roma Norte neighborhood of Mexico City that specializes in roasted chicken and chicken al pastor. It's a great option for someone with gastritis because it's not greasy, and it doesn't have any spicy food. It's also affordable, with a variety of dishes to choose from, and it has seating and sells beer.

Lucha libre is an experience in Mexico City, offering an electric atmosphere that's like being part of a live comic book. Don't miss out on the nachos, which are an essential part of the experience and add to the excitement of the event.

For a deep dive into the regional street food of Mexico City, I highly recommend Club Tengo Hambre. Their Mexico City Street Food tour and the tour of the Merced Market were incredible, and the food on the tours were the most memorable of the trip.

Central Gourmet in Polanco offers maple extract, which the asker's friend needs for a maple frosting. It is located at Prolongación Moliere 500, and if you can't find it there, try La Alpina in Portales (Avenida Víctor Hugo 51, Portales Norte).

Prime Steak has very good arrachera, but it is pricey, and nothing will beat seasoning and grilling it yourself. Make sure the seasoning is good, because otherwise it will be unremarkable.

Located in Mexico City, Zinco Jazz Bar offers a unique cabaret experience with a great show that's not on every night, so be sure to check their socials for the latest schedule. While the show is the main draw, the bar itself is a great spot to grab a drink and enjoy some live music.

The Museo De San Carlos is a beautiful museum in downtown Mexico City that offers a tranquil experience. Its stunning architecture and spacious interior make it a spot, and the friendly staff only add to the charm. One visitor even mentioned it as one of their favorite buildings in Mexico City.

Laguna is a former factory turned art shop and coffee hub located in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. It's worth visiting for the delicious coffee and the unique atmosphere of an old factory repurposed as a creative space. You can find it by the East Condesa Square, and some prices are already available.
