Popular TV host Lety Sahagún shares her exact thoughts on her lively podcast, Se Regalan Dudas. This Apple Maps Guide is proof of that, featuring all of her favorite spots in Mexico City.
Less“A sanctuary for Frida Kahlo fans, what was once the artist’s home is now a museum dedicated to her life and work. Purchase your tickets online before you go. It’s located in Coyoacán, the most charming neighborhood in the city. Walk through its cobbled streets with colorful houses, and take the opportunity to make a stop around the church in the town center. Try the traditional Mexican food.”
“My favorite place to get seafood in Mexico City. The costra de camarón, taco de birria de pescado, aguachile negro, and tostada de atún are a must. Their micheladas are also delicious.”
“Mandatory stop! I can't make a guide without recommending my favorite esquites.”
“The city’s architectural gem! And there’s always some interesting exhibition to visit. From there, walk to the Zócalo—Centro Histórico is a beauty. Find the Catedral Metropolitana on one side, and beside it you have Palacio Nacional. Car traffic is closed on Sundays to give way to bikes and pedestrians—my favorite day to visit. Have enchiladas suizas for breakfast in Sanborns Casa de los Azulejos, an iconic site in Mexican culture.”
“Get tacos al pastor, agua de horchata, and costras de queso. You can’t go wrong.”
“Like an oasis in the city, this is the ideal place to jog, walk, have a picnic, and visit Castillo de Chapultepec, which offers truly amazing views. There you’ll also find the Museo Nacional de Antropología, which hosts one of the most impressive Mesoamerican collections in the world. It’s a great place to learn about Mexico’s history and culture.”
“The bakery of the restaurant Rosetta (which is also delicious) is famous for their freshly baked breads. Don’t forget to order the guava roll. It’s also a great place to order coffee or matcha and enjoy it in Plaza Río de Janeiro, which is just a block away.”
“Located in the heart of La Condesa, this street food stand is famous for their delicious tortas de chilaquiles con milanesa—and is open only during the mornings. A real feast you must try, one which will keep hunger away for the rest of the day.”
“My new favorite spot, it’s fun any time of the day, always with the best atmosphere. You have to try the whole menu, but especially the tostada de guacamole, the tlayuda, the tuna sashimi, the oysters, the fideo, the salmon brioche, and the wines. Ugh, my mouth is watering already!”
“The perfect place to enjoy mezcal and good music with your friends.”
