Right next to the church in the town center.

Mexico City Recommendations
Colonia Roma
Some people call Colonia Roma the ¨Mexican Williamsburg¨ for its cool vibe, awesome shops and restaurants. You can start right in Álvaro Obregón, take your map and look for some local shops. This will make a nice and relaxed stroll around the neighborhood.
Pyramids of Teotihuacan
Book a sunrise tour! Included the company we used but there are many.
Xochimilco
Look into booking a tour to watch the sunrise :)
Arena México
Watch Lucha Libre!
Historic center of Mexico City
Recommend to walk from Zócalo to Monumento a la Revolución.
Carla Fernández
One of the top Mexican fashion designers, modern pieces with a classic Mexican accent.
Poema Space
Everything from clothes to ‘magical’ objects, a must see. Everything is made in Mexico.
Goodbye Folk Vintage Boutique
Great selection of vintage pieces and cool shoes for men and women.
Roma Records
One of the many vinyl shops you can find, nice selection of band t-shirts too.
HAPPENING Roma Norte
A little bit like Home México, but also super cool things, great for souvenirs!
Panadería Rosetta
You will most likely find a huge line of people waiting to buy a coffee and their made-in-heaven guava roll, don’t miss it!
Lalo!
Wonderful french toast and wonderful everything, relaxed environment.
Eno
Chef Enrique Olvera is famous for his top world restaurants like Pujol. This is his version of everyday food without losing his trademark: top local ingredients.
El Parnita
Tacos, tacos, tacos. They have a great selection, don’t miss Tlacoyo Viajero Especial. (not far away, but you might want to catch an Uber to save time)
La Gruta
For breakfast or lunch.
Zócalo
Templo Mayor Museum
Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral
Sanborns Madero
Palacio de Correos
Bellas Artes
Alameda Central
Monument to the Revolution
Limosneros
Adventurous takes on classic Mexican fare, plus artisanal mezcal, in a rustic-chic stone interior.
El Cardenal
El Cardenal’s kitchen seeks to evoke the Mexican province. Their dishes, served with distinction, recreate recipes from along most of the Mexican territory and dignify national-popular cuisine.
Azul Historico
In the open-air courtyard of the 17th-century Downtown Mexico Hotel sits the charming Azul Historico, potentially the best of Ricardo Muñoz Zurita's Mexico City restaurants. With tall spindly trees, rough-hewn tables, and women making tortillas by hand in the corner, it's a pleasant place for a relaxing late lunch while in the Historic Center.
A San Antonio Arrazola
This town is famous for its vibrant alebrijes, which are the local specialty of Oaxaca.
