Isabel & Joey
Explore CDMX
Contramar
To this day Joey won't stop talking about the tacos de esmedregal al pastor. Isabel's fave is the tuna tostada! This is more of a lunch/happy hour spot. Reservations recommended!
Páramo
Isabel's favorite spot in Roma Norte! They don't take reservations, and it gets busy, so be prepared to wait at the bar or arrive early
Taquería Orinoco
Late night spot for tacos! Get the especiale (it's like a taco meets a quesadilla).
Lardo
Great breakfast choice in La Condesa, known for their pastries. Specifically, you have to try the guava roll!
Ticuchi
Most people have heard of Pujol, a legendary fine dining restaurant. If you didn't make a reservation at Pujol months ago, try their sister restaurant - also in Polanco - called Ticuchi that has a great Oaxacan menu and mezcal selection
Galanga
Need a break from Mexican food? Grab Thai at Galanga
El Cardenal
Traditional Mexican cuisine near Zócalo (the historical city center)
Cafe De Tacuba
Old school Mexican breakfast spot near Zócalo (the historical city center). Great way to start a day of sight seeing!
Churrería El Moro
Satisfy your churro cravings at any of the El Moro locations
El Palenquito
Try a mezcal flight here or at their sister bar La Clandestina
Frida Kahlo Museum
It's worth the trek to the Coyoacán neighborhood to explore Frida and Diego's home. Notably, you should book tickets in advance online to not waste the day waiting in line. Refuel at the nearby Tostadas Coyoacán.
Museo Nacional de Antropología
The largest and most visited museum in Mexico! Here you'll find the Sun Stone (Aztec Calendar) and the largest collection of ancient Mexican art. Isabel's parents, Tom & Melissa, loved spending an afternoon here.
Parque México
Go for a stroll and some excellent dogspotting opportunities. We mean EXCELLENT
Cantina Salón Ríos
Casual spot for drinks and food. You can come here for drinks and appetizers or a heavier meal. If you opt for the latter, you must try the pollo a la brasa!
Parque de Chapultepec
This park is massive (2x the size of Central Park massive) so to see it all would be ambitious, to say the least. Great for a long walk, a trip to the zoo, the Castillo de Chapultepec, a modern art museum.... You'll find it all here.
Mercado de Artesanías La Ciudadela
Shop at this traditional Mexican market to find handcrafted treasures to bring home with you
La Lagunilla
We know some of y'all share our love of antiques and you'll be in flea market heaven at La Lagunilla! It's a Sunday only market where you can grab a michelada and peruse the day of our wedding.
Expendio Doméstico
Lupita, our wonderful wedding planner, took us here on one of our trips. Beautiful selection of home goods!
Lucha Libre
Head over to Arena México aka the "cathedral of lucha libre", grab a giant michelada and try to resist the urge to quote Nacho Libre. Or, be like Joey and yell "Nachoooooo" all night
