Centro de Coyoacán
Visit the coyote fountain, church, and mercado de artesanias (great if you're looking to take home some souveneirs). Grab a meal or drink on one of the patios and don't forget to try a churro relleno!
Plaza San Jacinto & Plaza del Carmen
On Saturday and Sundays, Plaza San Jacinto, along with nearby Plaza del Carmen, are transformed into art markets where local artists are selling their paintings and other works of art. Great to just browse even if you aren't buying anything!
Viveros de Coyoacán
Big park, great for a morning walk or run to escape into nature. We live just a few minutes walk from here!
Taquería El Califa
Mexican food, drinks, and lots of tacos! Open super late, so good for lunch and dinner, or late night drinks and midnight snacks.
El Pescadito
A Juanjo must-visit! Tacos and other mexican dishes with a seafood focus. Very casual dining and quick service. Stop by for lunch or an afternoon snack. Juanjo recommends the quesotote or tacos de camaron.
Le Petit Lola
Our favorite breakfast spot! Restaurant/Bakery with incredible bread. You have to order a cinnamon roll! Smaller place and gets crowded, so go early! Across the street from one of the art markets if you go Saturday or Sunday.
Garko Café Cultural
Good for breakfast, coffee, and lunch. Very chill, you'll find people here reading, writing, and working as well.
Apollo's Pizza
If you're not feeling Mexican food, Apollo's pizza has yummy pizza and pasta options. It's a small place, so not for a big group, but very cute, budget-friendly, and tasty! They also have breakfast.
Giornale Altavista
Located on the second floor of the plaza. Super close to the hotel, a pretty diverse menu and lots of space. Healthy and eco friendly with vegetarian and vegan options. Good for breakfast or lunch.
La Posta
Italian Food. They have two locations, and the other is a favorite date night spot of ours!
