CDMX
Contramar
¡Todos los tostadas de atún! A must-visit lunch spot in Roma Norte. One of our all-time favorite restaurants, Contramar is sister restaurants with San Francisco's Cala. Reservations recommended.
Lardo
Another must-do in CDMX. This charming, plant-filled La Condesa restaurant is beautifully designed and has some of the best food we've ever had. We love sitting at the bar or a table by the open windows on a nice day.
Taqueria El Greco
Tacos, por favor. Arguably the best around! Located in La Condesa.
eNHORAbUENa CAFÉ
Charming indoor-outdoor cafe for breakfast and coffee in La Condesa. ¿Puedo tener cappucino y chilaquiles?
Blend Station
Hipster coffee with jungle vibes and acai bowls. One of our first CDMX discoveries and favorite morning go-tos. Locations in both in La Condesa and Roma Norte.
Parque México
Lush, beautiful park in the center of La Condesa, perfect for a leisurely walk. Art deco architecture, lots of unique plants and so many dogs.
Churrería El Moro Parque México
Churrería El Moro is legendary in CDMX for amazing churros, and the space also happens to be designed to perfection. There are locations all over the city, but we like the one in La Condesa because it's in a great area, right across from Parque México.
Ojo de Agua
Acai bowls, smoothies and more, also near Parque México. Perfect spot for breakfast or a pitstop during a stroll through the park. Warning: you'll be tempted to eat the greens, but remember the rule to avoid washed veggies while in Mexico!
Lucha Libre
Mexican wrestling at its finest! A Jaren-recommended activity. You can catch a Lucha Libre at Arena Mexico in Colonia Doctores, the largest of the Lucha arenas, every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday night. Arena Coliseo is an older arena located in Colonia Cuauhtemoc with Luchas usually on Saturdays.
Frida Kahlo Museum (aka Casa Azul)
If you're a Frida & Diego fan, this is a must-see, but buy tickets in advance otherwise you'll wait in line for a few hours! Located in the Coyoacán neighborhood, about 15-20 minutes from La Condesa and Roma Norte.
Avenida Colima
Take a stroll down Avenida Colima and stop at the many local boutiques, cafes, restaurants and bars. It's hard to choose just one destination here, the entire tree-lined street in Roma Norte is a stunner. Our wedding will also take place on this strip.
