Things To Do
Rosetta
We've gone here every trip to Mexico City and it doesn't disappoint. Mexican-inspired Italian food, or is it Italian-inspired Mexican? Either way, it's delicious. Blocks from the venue.
Lucha Libre
More fun than you'd expect, we laughed our masks off while enjoying cheap beer and chips smothered in hot sauce.
Pujol
Regarded as one of the best restaurants in the world, this spot opens reservations (and books up) 90 days in advance.
Bosque de Chapultepec
A gorgeous park in the city center that's a must-visit. Matthew's favorite spot to run in the city. The Museum of Archaeology is nearby.
Centro Historico
The Palacio National, the Metropolitan Church, the Templo Mayor, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes are all within the city center. Amazing culture and history within walking distance.
Café NIN
One of the most popular breakfast spots in the neighborhood, this place is the more casual outpost from the people behind Rosetta. Don't forget the concha!
Luis Barragán House and Studio
Buy tickets for this popular museum far in advance and be prepared for a fully-engaging architectural delight unlike anything else.
Churrería El Moro
Renowned 24-hour churrería — the Roma location would make a great stop after the wedding for a sweet way to end the night.
Restaurante El Cardenal
Go here for an all-out Mexican breakfast experience in the historic Centro. A beautiful, bustling restaurant with excellent service.
Frida Kahlo Museum
One of the many must-visit museums in Mexico City.
Lalo
Fun, well-regarded spot for a breakfast fit to fuel you for a night of dancing.
Contramar
Some of the best seafood in the city and a very popular lunch spot.
El Califa
One of the more popular taco outposts in the city, this is a casual spot with several locations and consistently delicious tacos.
Taquería El Turix
We haven't been but this is a "must visit" taco recommendation from a friend. "You need to look carefully for this tiny tiny little spot in CDMX's fanciest neighborhood - the sign is on the glass window. They only have cochinita pibil, no tables." Eat quickly, leave happily.
Tour Like a Local
We haven't done this, but it comes highly recommended. "We toured the Mercado Jamaica (flower market) with him, had some samples at food stalls, then went back to his dried chile shop to learn about the history of the chile, make our own salsa, and taste some really delicious mexican dishes. And there was mezcal too! I loved it!"
