Start off with a margarita (or an alcohol-free suero!), aguachile verde de camaron, ceviche contramar, camaron cocktail, and you can't go wrong! - If you’re with a group that can share, they are also famous for their verde / rojo snapper, pictured above. Reservations strongly suggested, we like the outdoor seating.

Melissa is a major archeology enthusiast! Teotihuacán is a mystery in stone, just a ~50 min Uber from Mexico City. Home to the massive Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon, this ancient city offers stunning views, rich history, and a glimpse into a sophisticated pre-Aztec civilization. Walk down the Avenue of the Dead, explore intricate murals, and feel the energy of a place once home to thousands. A visit to Teotihuacán is a journey through time for history and culture lovers alike.

Visiting the Templo Mayor Archaeological Site & Museum in Mexico City is a must for history enthusiasts. Located in the heart of the Centro Histórico, this ancient Aztec temple complex was once the spiritual and political center of Tenochtitlán, the Aztec capital. Walk among the ruins, where layers of history reveal the city's pre-Hispanic past, and then explore the adjacent museum, which houses incredible artifacts, including the famous Coyolxauhqui Stone. The site offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur of the Aztec civilization, right next to the iconic Zócalo and Metropolitan Cathedral.
