- Welcome to Mexico City! We are spending a week exploring this amazing city! We went rode the subway, visited Polanco, Roma Norte and Coyoacán. We found delicious food, friendly people and beautiful architecture. The Mexico city we set out to explore does not hit all the hot travel spots. We try to give you a feel of the streets, the people and the vibe that we experienced in this amazing city.
We will also have videos on each neighborhood we visited in Mexico city. Stay tuned for that!
Hey! We are Geo and Allie. We sold our house, bought a Sprinter Van and hit the Road. Geo runs a business from the road and Allie focuses on putting her energy into the kids education and our next destination. We are originally from Baltimore MD, but our travels will take us all around the country.

Been living in Mexico 11 years, took me until 2021 to visit CDMX. OMG i LOVE it...been back countless times. My favourite city in the world!!
Shoshi we will definitely be back to Mexico City! So amazing. Appreciate the comment. Where do you live in Mexico?
@@BookItTravel Just north of Ixtapa..come visit!
Wow! Ixtapa looks beautiful! We did not make it that far down on the coast. But next time we will have to try!
@@BookItTravel yes come!!!
Gracias por decir bonito comentario ☺️🇲🇽
The interesting thing about drugs and cartels, is that the cartels exist because of this two factors: drug addicts/users up North, and the firearms smuggle into Mexico from the US (some arms smuggle by the US government).
But some how and thanks to Hollywood and the US government, México has a negative image around the world (the US creates profiles of countries that sends way of Hollywood), and even though, the US is the root of the problem, people around the world see México as being the problem.
You can eliminate all cartels in Mexico, it won't change a thing in the US, they will find a new supplier, just like what happened with Colombia.
The funny thing (really not funny) is that the US citizens that use drugs, see México as being the responsable.
The question I have is: Why does a drug culture exist in the US?.
Why does the US government does nothing to stopped it?.
Why is ok to expect a young teen (or preteen) to start using drugs?.
And the US government gets away with it, because they keep their citizens in a misinformation bubble.
Remember: no drug addicts/users, no cartels.
Luyz, lots to unpack here. Very complex problems to solve on both ends. Hard to eliminate drug use and hard to stop people from making it.
Although we mention that in the begining of the video the whole point is that we loved not only Mexico City, but the areas around it. We spent 4 months driving through mexico in a van with two kids. We immersed ourselves in the culture and had so many amazing interactions!
As far as the drug problems go in the US and Mexico I am not going to pretend to have the answers.
@@BookItTravel No. Actually, it is simple, by stopping making drugs look cool, guns cool, and reeducate kids about drugs.
Also, stopping people from making drugs by doing the above. Cartels only exist because there are drug users.
There is no reason why people should do drugs.
@@luyzqint3760 Thats what you want, but the reality is that drugs have been around and always will be, so the only real solution is to legalize them and educate the population about them, that way drug traffiking and all the other issues revolving around it would end 100%
Yes, finally I find a smart person, the problem with organized delinquency in Mexico is the huge amounts of money that the vicious people in the uSA produce.
@@edas1315 también sabemos que siempre a sido asi, las drogas asi nos tienen con sus peliculas pero nadie que USA es su trabajo vender Arma y no se dedico a los drogas por lo regular lo que pasan droga son tus paisanos por que ellos pasan sin problema asi que no echarle problema a México por los 2lados estamos jodidos la DEA es parte de la droga...😂
Mexico City is so awesome!!! I was just there and I already have tickets to return in the spring. The culture and the food are incredible and the people very kind. I can see it is already one of my favorite places on earth.
I agree Mexico City is awesome! So cool that you have tickets to return! What neighborhood did you stay in? We were in the central historic district of CDMX.
@@BookItTravel the same!
Wow gracias por tu comentario positivo.☺️🌶️🌮🇲🇽
I'm native to Mexico City and have traveled within the Americas, Europe and Asia, and... there is no better place to live than Mexico City. We Mexicans take it a lot for granted, but the minute you are some place else, you value what a great city this is. Great video! You're always welcome back!
Raoul, thanks for the comment and support. We also appreciate you sharing CDMX with us. We just had the best time in Mexico City! It is hard not to take things for granted that you see and feel all the time. But, if you travel and you have a place like Mexico City to come HOME to. I bet you realize more and more just how great you have it! One of the many benefits of travel!
@Kai Ikaika Nope New York sucks
@Kai Ikaika big nope
@Kai Ikaika Thats true, and dont get me wrong Ive traveled to both cities and theyre both beautiful, its just that in my opinion New York doesnt have the overall happy feeling, vibe and culture of Cdmx, plus NY is filled with aggressive bums...
La mejor ciudad es san luis potosi asi que silence please man.
Foreigners are always welcome to México!!!
Thanks Carlos. We felt welcome and more in Mexico City! What a special place!
Claro personas como ellos si son bienvenidos
Yes, my country welcomes everyone :D
Yes all the foreigners are welcome to Mexico but only if those foregneirs come to spend their money. Migrants or those opportunistics like many youtubers who come to Mexico to take advantage of the romantic and kind mexicans, knowing that flattering Mexico is a good bussiness to have a good living..
No se rindan , algún día serán famosos , disfruten MÉXICO
Vaya, ¡muchas gracias por tus amables palabras! Seguiremos empujando hacia adelante. ¡Gracias por compartir México con nosotros!
Lo dices por qué los extranjeros ya se dieron cuenta que hablar bien de México en social media los vuelven "famosos" en LATAM y otros países??
Bienvenidos a mexico saludos espero les este gustando mucho nuestro pais
Hola! Muchas gracias, queremos todo todo todo de Mexico City!
This was a really authentic and well-composed vlog! Definitely a refreshing take compared to other channels that feel overproduced, keep up the great videos!
Alexander, wow! Thanks a ton for the kind words. Appreciate that and the sub. Have a great day!
heading to Mexico City in a couple of weeks, will go to El Huecito for sure now! thanks for the tour
Stephen, enjoy your trip to Mexico City!! Please let me know what you think of the tacos. They were life changing for me!
to me mejico its like the states all kinds of people its beautiful
Alfonso I agree Mexico City has all kinds of beautiful people! Thanks for supporting thr channel!
Mexico!! amigo no mejico!! Aunque te cueste escribirlo
México*
In Mexico we love british music: Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Sam Smith, Calvin Harris, Robbie Williams...
American music was good in the 80s and 90s
Love it! Thanks for the info! Where do you live in Mexico?
@@BookItTravel I am from Tabasco in the south of Mexico, the rainiest and most tropical area in all of Mexico, here the people dance a lot of salsa and the culture is a bit similar to Colombia more than to Mexico, we eat a lot of banana and yucca, and we eat more empanadas than tacos.
The capital of my state is the only city in Mexico with a deep river running through the city, and it is full of lagoons and sometimes when it rains a lot the crocodiles come out of the lagoon.
@@kp2xd340 wow! Sounds amazing. Your english is excellent. We drove through there, but now I wish we would of stopped! Appreciate the insight. Next time we will have to plan a visit!
@@BookItTravel Well, Tabasco is not very visited, it is not even well known in Mexico, if one day you come here, visit the La Venta park-museum where there is a huge jungle full of monkeys, birds and archaeological pieces such as the colossal Olmec heads. Also the Tomas garrido canabal park, and go to eat at the restaurant El Eden where there is typical Tabasco food such as Puchero, which is a beef soup with banana, corn and vegetables
@@BookItTravel Thanks for praising my English, I watch a lot of American series like Gossip girl or Breaking Bad with subtitles, that's how I learn LOL
I live in texas and i went to mexico city i really love it i want to go again
Jose! Mexico City is a special place. I hope you are able to get back there soon!
I live in Mexico City and I'm so proud, thanks for your video!
Moisés, wow! Mexico City is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. We appreciate the very kind comment and support!
I went there in mid 90's and I was BLOWN AWAY and I'm Mexican from the U.S. Stayed at Condessa. Went to Frida and Trotsky's house. Loved it! You can feel the magic in the air. So much history!
Edward, yes! We felt the same way in 2022. Mexico City was magical. Perfect way to put it!
I go to Mexico City several times a year: I can't express how much I love this city! I know you guys, like so many bloggers, are impressed with the tacos, but . . . the chilaquiles are another star in CDMD's gastronomical firmament. Besides the obvious colonias: Centro Historico, La Condesa/Hipodromo, Roma, Polanco, San Angel, Coyoacan, Xochimilco and Santa Fe, be sure to check-out Santa Maria La Ribera, the UNAM area, and even (be careful), Doctores for the Toy Museum, which is wild! The parks (especially Parque Mexico & Chapultepec), and countless museums (don't miss the "house museums" that are usually free), and awesome churches, ex-conventos (especially the Museum of El Carmen with its mummies!), and ex-monasteries, make Mexico City a cultural, historical feast and, you can never really see it all. Great video, btw.
Tu si sabes 👍
Ralph what an amazing and thoughtful comment! We will have to try the chilaquiles. We did check out Parque Mexico and Chapultepec- they were amazing! Mexico City is definitely a cultural and historical feast! haha love that 👍! Thanks again for all the amazing information on Mexico City. Really appreciate your comment!
Move to Mexico guys. You are welcome to live here!!!
Martin! Thank you for the kind words. We would love to spend more time in Mexico City! It was beautiful!
As a local it is so refreshing to see a video where they get into the real culture and not just talk about the same neighborhoods (Condesa, Roma, Polanco, etc.) Great job, glado to see a foreigner take the time to make their research and talk more about what Mexico is like and not just the uptown places. Keep it up
Iván! Thank you so much for the kind words. We did our best to visit all the palaces we could in Mexico City. As a local your comment means a ton! We put a lot of effort into the video while were visiting your amazing city! How long have you lived in Mexico City?
Desde siempre ha habido mucha migración de extranjeros a México pero actualmente está considerada como una ciudad global en donde están llegando principalmente ciudadanos europeos, asiáticos.
There has always been a lot of migration of foreigners to Mexico but it's currently considered a global city where mainly European and Asian citizens are arriving.
Edgar, after visit I would definitely agree! Mexico City as a global city is really a great way to put it. Thanks for commenting and watching!
DE MÉXICO PARA EL MUNDO 💪💯👍
¡Sí Sí! ¿Vives en la Ciudad de México?
i envy you guys am mexican and i dont know mexico aww i only know the border el paso juarez my roots come from there
Alfonso, thanks for all the comments and the kind words. Sorry that you have not been able to experience Mexico like we did. Hopefully one day you do. If you get a chance to visit Mexico City in the future you will be blown away! Appreciate you supporting our channel!
Chaw-pull-teh-peck = Chapultepec. :) Glad you all are loving CdMx! I will be there for the Grito this year.
Thanks for the help with that pronunciation! Mexico city is a special place! Thanks for watching the video. So cool you will be there for Grito! I am assuming this is not your first time in CDMX?
@@BookItTravel I have been a couple other times. I was in Cancun a few years back, or rather inland from Cancun in a town called Valladolid and made some friends there who live in CdMx. So now it has become a nice long weekend destination. I'm from Phoenix so it's a relatively quick and affordable flight.
I'll be keeping an eye out for more videos. Love your guys style and format.
@@PhxVanguard Nice! Oh we loved Valladolid we camped at a bee farm there. It was fascinating. Had an amazing time. Hit a few Cenotes and got some amazing food!
Thanks a ton for the kind words about the channel we are doing our best to build it. Really appreciate your support. We have a CDMX subway video coming out and then we are exploring Coyoacon and Roma Norte.
@@BookItTravel i'm subscribing and i will keep my eyes peeled. :)
@@PhxVanguard much appreciated! Have a great weekend! 🙌
Thank you guys ti take me back to my country, ti my city...
I am Mexican-Italian, livingbin Europe for a lot so far... just missed my country and my amazing CDMX where I was bien...
Thank you to make me cry of joy to livevit through your video!!
Gracias!!!
Murciano what a beautiful comment! Thank you so much for supporting the channel. Being from Mexico City is a special thing! Were do you live in Europe? Do you get back to visit CDMX much?
@@BookItTravel I am living in Venice, Italy and unfortunatelly I cannot go back to visita my city ( CDMX) offre due to my job!!
I am looking forward to going back as soon as possible! I really miss it!!
See you in your next avventure!!
Thanks so much for following along. Italy is not a bad place to be. I hope you are enjoying it here!
Llevo mas de cuarenta anos visitando CDMX y tambien radicando en ella durante alguna temporada.Siempre mas gente y terrible trafico y cada vez me gusta aun mas!!!!
thank you for coming
Thanks for having us to Mexico City!
Hey guys, thanks for the video. I live closeby to Chapultepec so I am fortunate to go running / walking in it at least twice a week. And every time I'm reminded how fortunate are we to have something like that in the middle of a megalopolis. We Mexicans (and particularly chilangos) take it for granted, but the fact is that Mexico City (well, of course, parts of it) is such a great place to live.
Henio, thanks for watching and commenting. Having Chapultepec as your running route is amazing! How long have you lived in Mexico City!? We had an amazing time in your city! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@BookItTravel Several years, on and off. Last time we moved back from Monterrey to Polanco, which I see you visited as well. You are welcome to come back anytime!
@@heniohoyo7075 thanks so much!
Bienvenidos amigos felicidades excelente... México lindo los saluda.
Mexico city beautiful 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👋🙏🙏🙏
I agree! CDMX is a special place!
México es un exelente ciudad por encuentras de todo lo k nesesita👌👍👍
¡Estoy de acuerdo! La Ciudad de México es un lugar tan especial. ¡Gracias por ver!
Thank you for visiting my city!!!!
Luis! It was our pleasure to spend time in Mexico City! Thanks for sharing it with us! 👌
Went to CDMX in early 2020. Loved it so much, went back in late 2020.
Thirdhourmusic- Yess! CDMX is definitely a place that will pull you back in! Thanks for the comment.
Thank you very much to have the appreciation for my country,people and culture. Persons like you deserve visiting Mexico any time. Thanks for the video
Miguel, what a kind comment! Thank you so much. We enjoyed Mexico so much! People were kind and the culture was rich. Thanks for sharing your country with us! 👌
I just discovered you guys, and subscribe 😊 Mexicana living in Houston l lived in Coyoacán for 27 years miss my country so much , thanks for your videos 🥰😘
27 years! Amazing! Were you born in Mexico City? Your country was amazing and treated us so well. Thank you!
Saludos paisana desde el Silicone Valley en Santa Clara,CA. Yo nací en ciudad de México pero a los 19 años me vine a California y si tienes razón se extraña mucho mas a tu país desde fuera. 🇲🇽
@@09Sanchez Mucho gusto Miguel yo también viví en California varios años....
@@BookItTravel I born in Mexico city and lived in Coyoacán now I live in Houston 🥰
Thanks for being the kind of foreigners that appreciate Mexico and its culture. Not like the ones who just come here to stretch their money and gentrify certain areas of the city or the country, some of them stay for months in here and never meet a local because they never leave Condesa or Roma. You have a beautiful family and a beautiful mindset, hope the best for you and you're always welcomed in Mexico.
Gustavo, we really appreciate the kind words. My wife speaks spanish and were often greeted so kindly after they heard her talk. We did our best to experience the people and the culture and it belew us away. Especially in Mexico City! What a special place! Kind, friendly and filled with smiles!
Woow it's amazing
Jose, thanks so much. We thought Mexico City was amazing also.
Fabulous video!! Three danishes, a muffin, and a coffee for breakfast. Who are these people?
Thanks Doug! I think they were paleo muffins...ha
México City is incredibel 👍👍
The people are awesome very friendly
Angel! Mexico City was amazing. We totally agree. Thanks for watching.
They missed going to the interactive museums for children, they are great so that the children do not get bored. Come back soon
Maria, thanks for the tip! We will do that next time we are on Mexico City! Do you live in CDMX?
I love ❤️ Mexico City
Yes! Mexico City is a special place. ❤️
Looks amazing 😎🤘
Thanks for the comment A Petrang. Mexico City was definitely amazing!!

What a kind comment! Thank you so so much! Appreciate the support and the kind words. Mexico City has some amazing things to offer. 👌
I want those tacos!
They were so good!! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video, very informative and really appreciated how you went not just the tourist places but explored some lesser-known things, that street food looks amazing, I'm very much looking forward to going there
Falcon, thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words!! Mexico City is such a special place! Do you have a trip planned to CDMX?
Muy buen video, en realidad CDMX muy bonita , me encanta su vegetación y la cultura que se respira por donde camines, saludos!
Greetings!!! Thanks for the kind comment Jorge. We loved the culture of Mexico City also! Amazing place.
I live in Mexico City my whole life and I love to see more and more tourists here. Our country has a lot to offer!
We absolutely loved it in CDMX! You have such a great city. Thanks for welcoming us.
You guys giving full panorama like family , total complete different view from others RUclipsr , great job
Ray, that means a ton. Thanks so much for the kind words. Experiencing Mexico City as a family was so special.
Excelente vídeo, espero que vuelvan pronto a visitar está gran ciudad. 🙌🏼
Thank you so much!
It's awesome how you enjoyed the market!! :D
Thanks Ro, we love it! Appreciate the support.
México, Te Amo
cool show beautiful
Thanks so much Alfonso! We thought Mexico City was Beautiful also.
Good.
Thanks
I lived in Europe and now I've been living for a long time in South America . I miss my city so much and my tacos even more!
Yess! The tacos in Mexico City were out of this world!! So good.
Lovely!
Rox- thanks so much!
Hello guys, wonderful video... I was born in Mexico City and always stayed in the southern neighborhoods Coapa and Coyoacan where I went to school
Thanks so much for the kind words! We loved Mexico City!
glad you you liked it guys god bless saludos de Austin tx
Alfonso thanks so much! We drove through Austin for the first time a few weeks ago and love it. You are in a special place also!
Great video good informed places to check out and the best that you guys took the courege to visit Mexico city regardless of negative media and people who just say dont go here dont go there without knowledge of the real world life.
Thanks Isaac, appreciate you watching! And the kind comment. We absolutely love it in Mexico City.
THE NEWS HAVE BUILT A REPUTATION FOR MEXICO... I've lived here my whole life and never even been close to see anything violent or wrong ever.... It's all about where you focus your energy and your mind seriously if you focus on what's wrong you attract more of it... Period...
Miss evolucion! I completely agree. We were blown away by the amazing people and culture in Mexico City. We felt very safe.
Should’ve gone to Frida Kalho’s museum! Great video amigos!
Ugh I know! It was booked up for two weeks. We did not plan well. We went by to see it, but could not get in.
You guys are staying in the absolute BEST area in CDMX ! ¡ !
Stay in that area every year.
You definitely should check out
Quesadillas Las Escaleras it is a few blocks from that AWESOME bakery which is one of our FAVORITE bakeries.
If you walk out of that bakery and take a right and walk2 blocks and just before you get to the third block you cross the street and you will be in Quesadilla HEAVEN ! ¡ !
Nick B- thanks so much for the recommendation! Sounds amazing. We will have to check it out next time we are back in Mexico City. Quesadillas sound amazing!
Very cool!
Thanks you! CDMX is such a special place.
hi!... welcome!... really all this about if Mexico is like this or like that if you visit México extreme precautions!... hahaha... all that makes me laugh a little and I really don't quite understand it well, yes, indeed, we have problems with organized crime... BUT... the reality of our day-to-day life as citizens of this country, even in states like the one I live in, which in theory are among the "top 5", is totally normal and we practically don't see what appears in the news, it's basically all very safe!... sometimes I think that the press and the economic and political interests of Europe, Gringoland and other countries envy us hehe or something, just think about this, How is it possible that it is sooo bad and 45 million tourists come to visit us every year, and more than 4 million foreigners, mainly gringos, live here!
Marco, I totally agree. We are from the US and the news creates a false picture about Mexico. They report the terrible things. We were blown away by the amazing people, the food and the kindness. Mexico City was our last stop and it was so special 🤩 ! The size alone was amazing, but the history, food and markets were out of this world. We spent 4 months driving around Mexico in our van with two kids so I think we got a decent feel for the country. And of course like you said there are problems, but there are problems and a few bad people everywhere. Thanks for the thoughtful comment! Which state do you live in?
@@BookItTravel i live in Guanajuato, some citys of this state are considered more dangerous as Celaya and Irapuato, not Guanajuato capital and San Miguel, but believe me, we do not see that terrible things, our work and daily life is normal, by the way, Mexico City is already one of the safest in the world, for good work that the authorities have been doing for two years to date, enjoy our incredible places a long the country and delicius food!!
Marco, we spent a week in Guanajuato! It was supposed to be two days, but we could not leave. We often get asked what our favorite spot in Mexico is and we always tell people about Guanajuato. It is a place in Mexico that many of our friends had not hear of. I am not just saying that because you live there. There was a special energy in the city. Thanks for supporting our channel and commenting on the video. Really means a ton!
Y en cuanto a sudamericanos en segundo lugar son los colombianis estan conformados en comunidades en todo lo ancho y largo de la Republica Mexicana.
love your energy & great tips for plac3s to visit. going there tomorrow!
Lisa, thanks so much. Appreciate the kind words. Going to Mexico City Tomorrow!? Wow! What part of town are you staying in!? Enjoy it is such a special place!
Yes, La Merced is a huge market, but… actually it’s not the biggest; the biggest market not only in Mexico, not even at Latin America, even the whole continent, in fact THE BIGGEST market in the world is Central de Abastos, a place where thousands of markets, in fact, but the stuff they sell at other markets, and being that big, it’s right now starting the Construccion at the roof of that market the biggest solar farm in the world inside a city.
Also, about Chapultepec, yes, it’s huge, twice Central Park, but also right now it’s about to become bigger; it has 3 sections and it will have in a few years a fourth section, so it will be even bigger!
Oscar I did read about Central de Abastos! We did not go but it sounds amazing. Have you been!? A fourth section added to Chapultepec....wow! Mexico City is really on a whole different level. Such an amazing place!
I LOVE YOUR HONESTY AND UNBIAS LOOK AT BEAUTIFUL MEXICO CITY MY FAVORITE CITY IN THE WORLD THAT IS LED BY A JEWISH WOMEN THE GOVERNER OF MEXICO CITY
**CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM** SHE HAS DONE A MARBOULOUSE JOB IN MEXICO CITY AND SHE HAS PLACE HERSELF IN THE FOREFRUNT TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT IN MEXICOS HISTORY
Thanks so much!
@Kai Ikaika NO I MEAN JEWISH SHE IS JEWISH NOT ZIONIST
hola, I am mexican and I just want to give you a security tip. ALWAYS grab your kids hand while you are outside in the streets. If they are teenagers ask them to walk IN FRONT oy you, where you can always see them. YOU ARE WELCOME
CP, thanks for the Mexico City tips!
Great video guys
Thanks so much! We loved Mexico City!
saludos desde el paso tx
Well made video.
Thanks so much World Observer. Really appreciate it.
I’ve only been to a couple cities in Baja California because I’m only a short drive away but every city I’ve been to has been amazing. Worst thing that happened was I did get some money stolen but that’s whatever, that can happen anywhere. I love the people, and the food, and it’s such a beautiful place like seriously.. even the not so “desirable” or dangerous places I didn’t feel in danger, just people who are pretty poor trying to get by. I once drove down to Rosarito just to eat at this taco/burrito joint there because it’s my favorite place on earth. $2 for a huge burrito and 75¢ corona with lime. (Oh, and it’s across the street from the beach, no beach view because a big hotel is blocking it but it’s a short walk with your food to the beach). Ahhh man I miss it I’m driving down this weekend
That is awesome! We drove all the way through Baja down to Cabo. We hit some amazing spots on the way.
You are right on about the prices you cant beat amazing tacos and cheap beer.
If you have the chance to visit Mexico City you should! It will blow you away.
Thanks for the comment and sharing your story!
@@BookItTravel wow that’s amazing! I don’t know if I trust my driving skills in Mexico to travel that far by car by myself. The traffic is a bit different than the US and it kinda freaks me out at times which is why I usually don’t go much further than Ensenada. But I’ve heard it’s easier once you get passed there. I’m assuming you took highway 1 to 19 all the way down?? The drive from Tijuana to Rosarito is a pretty tough one for me at times (I usually go after work on Friday evenings and it’s a bit hectic) It definitely takes getting used to. I personally have Mérida next on my list, but obviously that requires a flight. I’ll work my way to Mexico City eventually!
😋 mmmm los tacos de "El Huequito"...deliciosos👌
Moises!!!! El Huequito tacos es perfecto!
Great video!😀
Alal, thanks so much! Have you been to Mexico City!?
@@BookItTravel many times, it’s amazing. One thing that I noticed the first time I went is that as soon as you arrive to the city it feels different than other cities and the “atmosphere” is like more intelectual, nicer, it’s hard to describe…
omg i stayed in that same block and Panaderia Madrid was my every morning spot like i never missed a beat!
Amazing! Panaderia was a special place in CDMX! Thanks for the support!
8:36 those are made like dumplings but with sweet filling and funny coloring.
Yes! They were so good! Do you live in Mexico City? Or have you tried them other places?
Nice video 🌺🌺
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Great transition, well done video Geo! Can wait to see the next video! I see that Faris and Lisa's are back home up at the great lakes. Are you staying in Texas?
Thanks Hsia! Really appreciate that! We hit the great smokey mountains in Tennessee for a little while. Then back to Baltimore. Planning and gearing up for a fall trip!
@@BookItTravel 4 months in Mexico feels too short. Enjoyed your videos!
@@Hsia_Travels we agree! We could of explored for 4 more months. We will be back! Thanks for the support. I still have 4 more CDMX videos I need to edit and upload!
Next time tell your government to address all the mass shooing in the Us before pointing other countries flaws
I am Mexican and I recommend you a restaurant of tacos called los parados also places like farolito,taque arte and el califa that’s very good places to eat tacos
Always great to get a local recommendation! Thank you so much. We will check it out. Appreciate you sharing Mexico City with us!
I mentioned in your other video I've been to Mex City 8x. I've been to Zacatecas too. Got my passport renewed recently.
Nicely done. I have been in CdMx many times. I like how positive you were about safety and using the metro. Please learn how to pronounce Spanish words 😃
Deborah, thanks so much for the kind words about the video! Really appreciate that. Mexico is definitely a special place. We are doing our best with the Spanish, but will continue to practice!
the big difference is the walkability compared to us cities. Cities in us are dead and there are usually no people out which sort of has a depressing feeling not to mention the constant rat race on trying to survive the "American dream" you need a car for everything. Its sad because thats not the end of it.
Brandon, yes the walkability in Mexico City was amazing! The public transit was also crazy good! The subway was 25 cents per ride and we took it all over. Have you been to Mexico City yourself? It is an amazing place!
Hi, guys. Man, your evidently genuine reactions make me feel very proud and grateful as a Mexican. I'm so glad to see people from the US to get rid of all the prejudices about Mexican street food and just let go and enjoy everything we have here. I don't blame you if you feel it's not very sanitary sometimes. I mean, many times I myself look the other way when they are serving it haha. I feel particularly nostalgic watching your video since I'm moving to Vancouver, Canada with my family for the second time. We're Canadian citizens and know what feeling homesick is like, and how important it is to feel welcome in a country that is not your own. We're Canadians by law, but we're 100% Mexicans in every other aspect over there. Please feel welcome in Mexico. If you've loved it, it's yours for you to bring a little back home. Cheers
Progfan, what a kind comment! Thank you so much! You should be very proud of your heritage! The people, food and art in Mexico City blew us away!
Cool
Thanks Cecilia, have you been to CDMX!?
I’m from the city of Guadalajara and I used to travel by train or plane to Mexico City a lot with my mom when I was a child because my mom was born there and came to Guadalajara when she was a kid. So she has a lot of relatives there. I loved to travel by train but it’s no longer in service.
It’s a wonderful city but I love my city. Next time please come to Guadalajara! I’m sure you’ll love it too 💗
Isabel! We heard amazing things about Guadalajara. I am sure it is beautiful. We drove through but did not have time to stop! Awesome story about visiting Mexico city! Must of been so cool to do it by train. Your english is excellent! Where did you learn?
Welcome....
Thank you! CDMX was amazing! ❤️
I am very proud to be Mexican, I really appreciate the way you describe the cdmx welcome and continue enjoying this beautiful country. I already subscribed to your channel.
Luca, thanks so much for subscribing. And thanks for sharing Mexico with us! We had such an amazing time there. Where in Mexico are you from?
@@BookItTravel la Comarca Lagunera, north of México.
Saludos hermanos! Excelente video
Joel! Thank you so much. Have you bee to Mexico City!?
@@BookItTravel Yes! She's very big and you never get to know her.
Such a good way to describe Mexico City! We will be back to get know as much as we can!
@@BookItTravel They will always be welcome.
What a great video, thank you. We wrote down a few of the places you went to, where in the city was the place you had your favorite tacos? we want to eat there next month when we visit Mexico City and then Taxco.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Really appreciate the support. Oh you are going to LOVE Mexico City. We had such a good time there.
www.elhuequito.mx/ this is the website. The name was El Huequito. The tacos el pastor were amazing! Have a great trip.
We locals are not thinking about keeping our belongings safe. I don’t know one single person who has been pickpocketed on the metro. Insecure places are on the outskirts. A family of gringos will never be robed. You are completely safe. Much safer than in the USA. You will only find honest happy people sharing happiness. You will hear stories from people that are used to speak negatively, those stories are few and have ben around for a long time. Relax. enjoy. Please describe with much detail the flavors.
Nice!! Mexico City it’s one of the best cities in all of Mexico. I lived there for about 5 years. I’m a Mexican guy.
You should be careful where you are, because the place where the music sound, it is dangerous, those guys whith face mask, are the guys who robber you, well not all the time.
Marco, Mexico city is definitely one of the best cities in the world. We had such an amazing time. Thanks for the tip! 🇲🇽
City view is beautiful my friend i like tour video same your post i am your support watching!!! 👍👍🎉🎉!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Mexico City is a beautiful place!! 👍
I'm always very surprised that people are just starting to get to know Mexico City, when it has always been next door (at least for americans), and the city has always offered what you see today. Good way to start the video stating that Mexico its way more or basically not what TV makes you believe...
Cool video.👍
Hello! I will be traveling to Mexico City in two weeks and would love to try the tacos from el huequito! Would you be able to provide the address please? Thank you! PS, great video!!!
Martin, thanks so much for the kind words!
I am sure you will have an amazing time! It is a special place. The tacos are the best. Order the El Pastor Special! El Huequito address- Ayuntamiento 21, Colonia Centro, Centro, 06050 Ciudad de México
@@BookItTravel Thank you so much!
Remember that this City has a Seven Centuries of existance. And you can find samples of any of those years. The environment reflects the combination of two cultures: Ancient Mexican's one, and Medieval Spain's, as well. When the first spaniards came, they were received by the Emperor Moctezuma like you are received now. It is a milenary tradition of hospitality. A better educated people, that unfortunately wasn't corresponded by europeans in the same way. Afterwards, things changed when the New Spain surpassed the European culture largelees. Then, an impressive country appeared. Welcome and enjoy, it is free.

Thanks Paola! We loved Mexico City!
Actually the biggest market is not La Merced, is Mexico city´s Central de Abastos, wich is also the biggest in the world I think.
Loved the video!
Pablo, thanks so much for the kind words!!! Mexico City is an amazing place!
The bad image of México is courtesy of the US media, portraying stereotypes all the time. In fact, México is the second most visited country in 2021, one of the 3 Best countries for expats, Cancún is the second most visited city in the world only behind Dubai and has the Best cities ti visit in The world said by Naste Traveler and Tríp Advisor (Puebla and San Miguel de Allende). The US media only difamates México
Tomas we agree. Mexico and specifically Mexico city just blew us away. It was worth the visit for sure!
Sería muy agradable poder entenderle lo que comentan, si ponen subtítulos en español, seguro tendrán muchos seguidores mexicanos, saludos desde la Ciudad y Puerto de Veracruz, Veracruz, México.
1:52 ya tienen práctica cada fin de semana corren
¡Sí, fueron grandes corredores en la Ciudad de México!
Thanks for the video. I'm from U.S. south without subways. I will be visiting Mexico City in January. My question is how did you all figure out how to navigate the subway?
Terry, I am working on a subway video now. I will be sure to try an answer this question. There are tons of maps down there, so we did a little trial and error and with in a ride or two it is super easy to figure out!
nice
Thanks
