Coyoacán offers a colorful experience for visitors and locals alike, as it’s always a pleasant place to stroll on a weekend or to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. With its colonial relics, bohemian air, and plenty of cultural attractions, it’s a highlight of this metropolis.
Within walking distance the museum-home of Frida Kahlo are the nurseries of Coyoacán, the craft market, and the central plaza with its famed fountain of dancing coyotes, as well as theaters such as El Vicio and La Capilla, the Cineteca Nacional, the Fonoteca Nacional, and the Living Arts Center. You’ll need to be fueled with a full stomach before starting this walk.
For first-timers, one recommendation is to try the traditional snacks from the Coyoacán market, but since the options are so plentiful you will likely need a few visits, and so, the question arises – where to enjoy breakfast in Coyoacan before setting out?
Croasán
A pleasant option in the center of Coyoacán. Croasán’s attention to detail in each dish can be perceived not only in the flavors, but also the presentation, with highly instagrammable plates.
