Things To Do
Molino "El Pujol"
A traditional Mexican breakfast spot, come here for great tamales, chilaquiles, and cafe de olla (traditional Mexican coffee). An incredible vegetarian spot!
Saint
Hands down the best concha we've ever had! If you don't know what a concha is, do yourself a favor and come here to taste one of these sweet Mexican pastries. Plus, it's right next door to Molino "El Pujol" if you want to check off two of our recommended spots at once.
Taquería Orinoco
This is the In-N-Out of tacos! They have a small menu that's packed with big flavor. We highly recommend the tacos de chicharron. The line can get pretty long at night, so come during the day or visit one of their other locations in Mexico City if needed!
Tortas Al Fuego
"Tortas" may be in their name, but Tortas al Fuego is home to our favorite tacos al pastor in the city. It's extremely unassuming (think plastic chairs and tables on the sidewalk), but come prepared to eat your heart out.
Pasaje Parián
A newly-renovated shopping alley with micro-restaurants and stores. Polpo is one of our new favorite spots for small plates and drinks!
Eno
A great lunch spot with locations in Roma and elsewhere around Mexico City.
Comedor Jacinta
Great food and drinks, located in Polanco. Trust us - get the bone marrow sopes!
Panadería Rosetta
Come here for delicious coffee, pastries, and breakfast goodies of all kinds.
Museo Soumaya
For the art + architecture lover, this is an incredible museum with free admission! When you're done exploring the Soumaya private collection, you can walk across the plaza to Museo Jumex and also take a lunch break at Eno.
Museo Jumex
Across the plaza from Museo Soumaya is this other beautiful contemporary art museum with rotating exhibitions. After walking through the galleries, grab some lunch at Eno on the main floor.
Museo Nacional de Antropología
You can spend hours wandering through the galleries of this museum! Like most museums in the city, this one is closed on Mondays.
Frida Kahlo Museum
Catch a glimpse of Frida Kahlo's life and work by walking through the home she shared with Diego Rivera. Then head over for a stroll through Plaza Coyoacan - one of the city's most beautiful colonial squares.
Castillo de Chapultepec
Take a stroll through the "Central Park" of Mexico City and pay a visit to the castle on the hill. Spectacular views of the city.
Teotihuacan Pyramids
You can spend a half-day exploring the ruins of the ancient city Teotihuacan, located about an hour outside of Mexico City. It's said to be "the birthplace of the gods" and is home to the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Temple of Quetzalcóatl (the Feathered Serpent). It's easiest to arrive by Uber.
Ticuchi
Owned by Enrique Olvera (who also runs Pujol - a Mexico City restaurant currently ranked as the world's 5th best), Ticuchi is a chic, upscale bar with great drinks and apps.
Pulqueria los Insurgentes
Pulque is a lightly alcoholic smoothie-like drink made from fermented agave sap. Pulqueria los Insurgentes is a 3-floor (plus a rooftop) bar where you can try pulque in a variety of daily flavors.
La Clandestina
If you don't think you like mezcal, one drink from La Clandestina will change your mind. In addition to their amazing cocktails, we love this bar's moody and intimate vibe. Make sure to check out the jugs of mezcal as you walk in!
