Hi! Traveling through Mexico from Germany. I was in a cool club in GDL called Lou Lou, pretty exclusive, went with some local friends. Now I'm in Mexico City with friends from Europe and we're looking for some local clubs. Any recommendations?"
Just booked my first trip to Mexico City with my husband from the last week of June through the first week of July, and I’m SO excited. But now I keep getting feedback that I completely messed up by going during the World Cup and that the city is gonna be absolute chaos 😩
Is it really that bad? Like, is the city going to be insanely crowded and hard to enjoy, or are people being a little dramatic? Would love honest opinions from locals or anyone who’s been during big events like this!
Hi guys, I planned a small trip to CDMX for the SOAD concert on May 28th, I was going to originally go with my best friend to the concert but she's backing out last minute since she's anxious about being in the pit area. I really don't want the ticket to go to waste, I'm NOT selling it, I just want a fan who wasn't able to get tickets to join possibly! Tickets aren't refundable so that's why I'm making this post!!
¡Hola a todos! Organicé un pequeño viaje a la CDMX para el concierto de SOAD del 28 de mayo. Originalmente iba a ir al concierto con mi mejor amiga, pero se echó atrás a última hora porque le da ansiedad estar en la zona de la pista. ¡Realmente no quiero que el boleto se desperdicie! NO lo estoy vendiendo; ¡solo quiero darle una oportunidad a un fan de ir. Los boletos no son reembolsables, ¡y por eso hago esta publicación!
So today in CDMX I bought jeans from a local store. Before paying, I asked the staff MULTIPLE TIMES if they were men’s jeans and they kept saying yes 😭
I paid around 619 MXN for them… went home… tried them on… and later realized they’re actually women’s jeans 💀😂
The funny part is: I genuinely liked them 😭🤣
But after realizing it, I went back to return them and the lady refused completely.
Now I don’t know if I should laugh, cry, or just wear them proudly 😂😭
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Hola mi gente futbolera mi padre y yo somos Celestes a morir y vamos a ir a la CDMX x dos días y quería saber si hay un restaurante, bar o un “hangout” celeste queremos convivir en ese ambiente nunca hemos conocido la ciudad y le quiero regalar eso a mi papá que aún a sus 65 años habla de sus ídolos celestes como niño. Vamos ir después de la final de liga mx durante el mundial. Me ayudan porfa?
Hi! I’ve been reading a lot about CDMX lately and it seems like such a vibrant and complex city 🇲🇽
But I feel like most content online focuses on big things — food, neighborhoods, tourist spots…
I’m more curious about the little everyday details that only locals really notice.
Like small habits, unspoken rules, things that feel completely normal to you but might surprise someone visiting for the first time.
What’s something subtle about daily life in Mexico City that outsiders usually miss?
Llevo ya un buen tiempo queriendo probar kimchi, e inclusive me paso la idea de prepararlo, pero la verdad quisiera que mi primera experiencia fuera comerlo hecho por alguien que sepa lo que hace, alguien sabe de un buen restaurante o lugar donde pueda conseguirlo? gracias
Today I bought these jeans and asked the employees multiple times if they were men’s jeans. They all said yes 😭
Later I noticed the sizing/style might actually be for women 💀😂
I even went back to ask and now I’m confused.
Reddit… help me settle this:
Are these men’s jeans or women’s jeans? 😭🤣
Honestly the worst part is… I actually like them 😂
I’m doing a North American tour and stop 1 is in Mexico City, and I’d like some ideas on what to do from June 10th- June 14th I leave June 15th
Day 1- June 10th- Don’t know what to do, I arrive at 1pm, let’s assume getting to the hotel and checking in I will be free around 4pm, what can I do to not waste this day
Day 2- June 11th I have tickets to the World Cup so I know what I’ll be doing, and later in the day WHEN Mexico wins I’ll be there to celebrate on the town.
Day 3- June 12th- already have plans to do a bus tour of Mexico City. I did this bus tour as a kid.
Day 4- June 13th- Going to see the infamous Mexican panda with my family, and then we will see a movie (distant family lives in Mexico City) I am from the US. I will be free around 6pm onwards
Day 5- June 14th- have absolutely no idea what to do, I was considering Six flags, but should i merge that with day 3, because I’ve done this tour bus before and it does pass it. Also as for six flags I am on the heavier side like 275 pounds, will I fit on any of the rides?
I don’t really have any plans for the night, so any ideas how to maximize my trip, what type of food vendors you recommend or clubs? I’ve only visited Mexico City as kid, this will be my first time as an adult, I’m also a huge boxing fan, so any boxing activities?
We rented a car to go to the pyramids from CDMX airport. We got stopped immediately by what we now know was a fake police officer. He threatened us and demanded we pay, took all our money which was $500 usd. It was horrible and we just returned the car and gave up on the trip so we’re out about $6590 with nothing to show for it. Never had a worse experience travelling across the world for ten years. EDIT: I know now I’m an idiot and everyone thinks I deserved this for renting a car and agreeing to pay the guy. I’m an American, I’m sure that will make you guys hate me more but I thought maybe the corruption was a trope and didn’t want to buy into the negative narrative about Mexico. Won’t do it again and just made the post to prevent others from making the same mistake.

Vi que preguntaron hace unos años acerca de FIXOEM y su calidad de piezas en este sub. Así que voy a dejar esto aquí para que mas gente no caiga en esta trampa y no pierdan su tiempo con esta empresa, amigos técnicos.
Hace unos días compré una pantalla “renovada” para un iPhone 8. Fixoem vende 2 tipos de calidades, la IPS (genérica) y la renovada (original pero con cambio de glass). En la tienda (sucursal de eje central, CDMX) me JURARON, que era una pantalla original y que solo se le había cambiado el glass. Lo entendí y pregunté si son pantallas usadas, a lo que obviamente me comentaron que si pero “reacondicionadas”. Al llegar a mi taller, instalé dicha pantalla en el iPhone y para mi sorpresa, no solo no es original, si no que no se le acerca ni remotamente a la pantalla original. Es una total basura.
No caigan en su juego, ya empece el proceso de reclamo que será muy largo. Dejo esto aquí para que no caigan en sus supuestas calidades y complementar el post ya hecho hace unos años.
*PST, dejo captura de su soporte como evidencia de su mentira
I’ve been living here for a while (I’m from Brazil originally) and this is something I still can’t fully decide 😭
I like both, but they feel slightly different depending on the day
Sometimes I feel like Roma is more “casual” and Condesa a bit more aesthetic… but I might be wrong
If you just want to walk around, grab coffee and relax a bit — where do you usually go?
Hey guys! Doing a project for the 2026 World Cup in Coyoacán. Mixing football, local street food, and lots of fun. Official Airbnb opening next week! Follow the pink axolotl!
I'm a local UNAM student who loves football and dogs. I'm finishing the final details this week. What is the one thing you are most excited to see or eat in Mexico City? Let me know!
Traveling to CDMX for our first time in late August for 4 days 3 nights. Looking for must go spots you’d recommend! Also doesn’t have to just be nightlife recommendations, recommend anything you think we should do
I have a few hours before our check-in at the hotel. Can I stay in the airport at a lounge? If not, where do you recommend I spend that short time?
Also, are uber and Lyft reliable methods of transport to my destination in polanco?
Hello, could someone please tell me about their experience getting Mexican citizenship in CDMX ? Did you need to provide an apostilled birth certificate? I'm an American citizen born to Mexican parents and I'm trying to get my dual citizenship. Im in Mexico at the moment and the town I'm currently in is making the process more difficult by asking for documents I don't have, like my parents' death certificates. I'm trying to avoid those extra steps. How much did the process cost? Did you have to call to make an appointment? Thanks for your time!
Hello! Can anyone recommend a place to get my wisdom tooth removed and teeth cleaned? I’m coming from the Miami area and want to visit Mexico City for vacation but figured I might as well see what my options are for dental work while I’m there. (Yes I will take precaution and get travelers insurance)
Anyone have a positive experience with dental work in Mexico City? Where do you recommend?
Thanks!
I'm Brazilian (23M) and i'm going to stay in CDMX for 2 weeks. I see many posts here about what places to go in the city, but much of them are from americans or europeans, who can afford a luxurious experience. Since the Brazilian currency is not much stronger than the Mexican one, it would be great to have recommendations for things to do that aren't super expensive or overly touristy.
I really like historical and cultural places and also would like to know the nightlife 🙂
