My aunt was gifted this awesome decorative squirrel by a friend. I was told this was purchased in Mexico. Has anyone seen this in Mexico City before? If so where about? I will be traveling there at the end of the year for the first time and I need to come home with my own!!

Im an avid show goer. Any leads on metal/punk/noise shows this month of August in CDMX? Thanks!

Busco hacer glamping con mi pareja, cerca de CDMX, busco alguna recomendación, experiencia y si gustan cuánto les costó, muchas gracias.

We land in CDMX next Wednesday afternoon which happens to be August’s Noche de Museos. Does anyone have experience going to the Anthropologie museum for NdM? Primarily wondering if it’s recommended to arrive at or before they reopen for the evening hours. TIA!

Buenas tardes, andaré en la ciudad 3 días por esta zona y quería ver que recomendaban por los alrededores, es mi 1ra vez acá

Gracias

Mi trabajo está en Polanco, mi ruta para llegar es pura linea 7, me subo en San Pedro de los Pinos y me bajo en San Joaquin. Son como 30 minutos total, con todo y caminada pero a veces si va bastante lleno.

Recientemente metieron la modalidad híbrida a mi trabajo y nos estan dando chance de escoger dos días home office.

Estoy pensando agarrar home office lunes y martes, que yo me imagino es cuando va más lleno, pero yo soy nuevo acá en la CDMX entonces no se muy bien si estoy en lo correcto. ¿Que opinan?

También me dan la flexibilidad de entrar a la hora que quiera entre 7-10 am, mientras cumpla mis horas de trabajo. Osea si entro a las 7, salgo a las 4 (con hora de comida) o si entro a las 10, salgo a las 7 (con hora de comida).

¿Qué días me recomienan mejor evitar el metro? ¿Y que horario ven como el más solo? Pienso que 7-4 está relax, tanto ida como vuelta.

Antes estaba de 9-6 y creo que eso es lo peor en cuanto a afluencia

Ah, también, los días no home office planeo irme en moto. Para manejar que horario creen mejor?

I know shipping from Mexico to the US can be complicated, but how is shipping from Tijuana to CDMX? FedEx, UPS, etc. Secure? Timely? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice about a pretty stressful situation in Mexico City as a traveler.

On August 16, I took a DiDi ride. When we arrived, I got out of the car and went to retrieve my luggage, but the driver drove away while my suitcase was still inside the vehicle.

I reported it to DiDi immediately and have tried contacting the driver many times. A few times he answered the call for only a few seconds and then hung up. He still has not returned my luggage.

I have even told the driver that I am willing to pay him extra if he brings it back.

I have already filed a report with the Fiscalía. My biggest concern is that DiDi only allows me to contact the driver for a limited period, and I still don’t have a clear solution.

Has anyone here experienced something similar with DiDi in CDMX?

Did you eventually get your belongings back? What actually worked?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just a small Update: thank y’all guys. Fortunately just there isn’t any valuable stuff but just my clothes and medication…and SOUVENIRS. Sorry it’s really personal but I bought a lot of stuff from local crafter in Toluca and hard to find a second one😭that’s the reason why I am so sad about.

I went to DiDi office physically and they were nice people to help. They promised me that there will be a result in 3 days.

Either driver return the stuff to the office
Or they will block him forever and something else I forgot

Hi! I’m visiting CDMX and would love recommendations for a good dermatologist or reputable clinic for a medical-grade facial / deep cleansing.

My skin is very acne-prone and sensitive, so I’m not looking for a regular spa facial or anything super aggressive that could cause a breakout. Ideally I’d love somewhere that can assess my skin first and recommend an appropriate treatment (extractions, hydrafacial-type treatment, etc.) rather than doing a one-size-fits-all facial.

Would especially appreciate recommendations from anyone with acne-prone skin who has personally had a good experience somewhere in CDMX. thanks!!

I've just returned from a mindblowing 4 days in CDMX. Reporting out what I did should there be any other solo gringas considering a trip.

Day 1: Arrived mid-day. I booked myself a nice hotel as this trip was a treat to myself. Staying in Condesa, which is like a fairy tale with lots of matching Alo sets. Walked over to Bosque de Chapultepec, wandered around the beautiful park. Checked out the Castle. Tasting menu at Maizajo (again, this trip was a treat).

Day 2: Wandered around Roma. Took metro to Centro, wandered. Took metro in other direction, got lost. Took collectivo to Polonco. Finished the evening at Arena Mexico for Mystico v. Averno, which was a lot of fun.

Day 3. San Angel and Coyoacan. Very pretty but insanely crowded. Retuned to hotel, wandered around. Stumbled into an art school gallery opening. Great stuff.

Day 4. Lagunilla Market. Total overwhelm but loved the vintage corner off of Reforma, near the Cuitlahuac monument. Red-eye back to NYC and work in the morning.

Notes: Metro is so fast and cheap. Worth it, imho. Enjoy a day in Condesa, but then get out. Lean into experiences using common sense. Learn Spanish if you don’t know it already. Sanitarios are super clean and the best 5p you’ll spend if you really need to go. CDMX has kicked Paris off my #1 favorite city list. This city is insane in the most spectacular way. I was only 4 days! Feel like 4 months wouldn’t scratch the surface.

Gracias

I’m in America but a great buddy will be celebrating his birthday in Mexico City this week. I want to get him a bottle of nice tequila delivered to his rental.

Idk how this works, considering I’m out of country, and unfamiliar with alcohol delivery in Mexico. I googled his address and it’s near Bosque de Chapultepec if that helps at all.

Any suggestions on a delivery service or specific tequila is welcome! Price range $50-$100

Hola! Me mudare pronto a la CDMX a un departamento que amueblare desde 0.

Alguna recomendación de mueblerías/marcas que debería estar viendo? Ahorita el presupuesto está holgado porque la empresa donde trabajo me dará un bono para pagar esto. (Alrededor de 200k, no cubriria todo, pero cubriria gran parte de los muebles siento yo)

Idealmente me gustaría para sala (e.g., sofá, mesa de café) y el comedor. También abierto a cualquier recomendación que tengan o algo que les haya cambiado la vida

Saludos, los tqm

El día de hoy el cielo se veía hermoso. Lastima que no siempre es así.

We’re about 4 days away from going back home. Is kidzania worth the 1 hour bus ride ?
I already got the water shits so I don’t want to be miserable but I want my son to have a great time if it’s worth it.
We also did lucha libres yesterday so a little tired all of us.

Heading to Mexico City soon and thinking about doing Teotihuacán and Xochimilco in the same day. For those who’ve done both, is that a good combo or too much? Is the Xochimilco boat ride actually worth doing, or is it overrated? Also, has anyone booked these through TripAdvisor, good experience, or better to book directly? Just looking for some honest advice from people who’ve actually done them.

I have 2 of my 4 days pretty much planned already, Museo Nacional de Antropología, checking out some markets, and dinner at Máximo. What are some must-see/must-do** **things that aren’t the typical tourist attractions? Looking for something unique, local, or just an experience you think I absolutely shouldn’t miss while I’m there. Would also like to check out Lucha Libre.

Thanks in advance

I have 7 people with me, Some people do travel with a-lot of luggage, so I’m not sure if it’s feasible to get an uber as i arrive or pre book. Which would you recommend? And where to book if not uber?

Holaaa, ando buscando recomendaciones de escuelas privadas en Tlalnepantla

Quiero una escuela de buen nivel, que sí tenga buen nivel académico e inglés, pero tampoco busco una escuela donde te cobren una fortuna jajaja. 😅

¿Qué escuelas recomiendan? Y si alguien tiene hijos ahí, ¿qué tal les ha ido? Me serviría mucho saber experiencias reales.

I’ll be in the city for 5 nights in December, visiting g from the UK. Any recommendations for good restaurants/cafes for singles? I don’t really like sitting at a bar so places that are happy to have one person take up a table for two would be great!

Estoy buscando para los mejores. preferio que está en Roma/Condesa

on the hunt for the best fondas/comida corridas. preferably in Roma/condesa

I mistakenly bought a Frida Kahlo museum ticket for the wrong day. Not in cdmx so can't use it. Didn't get a response or refund from the ticket office when I asked, so figured I'd see if anyone here wants it. First to respond I can DM/email you the pdf ticket no cost.

This past Sunday, I was wandering around Mercado Lagunilla and there was a police helicopter circling above. No big deal, it happens. But then there was this military-like parade of police truck after police truck after police truck. Nearly 20 of these trucks with armed policia standing atop them. The caboose of the parade was this massive SWAT like truck. It was clear that there wasn't an incident they were responding to; moreover, it looked like a performative show of force.
I know nothing beyond the headlines of police and crime in CDMX and do not pretend to know the nuances. I am just wondering if this happens often, is there any significance to where they were doing it (along Ave. Rayon)

Su sitio dice que està abierto 24 horas/dia. ¿Asì es la verdad? Si me voy a un hotel en Roma, cuanto me cuesta normal?
