About me

About me
I'm a tutor of Spanish as a Foreign Language. I enjoy watching movies, reading about diverse topics, and exploring the city. The places I like the most, are those that I find the most authentic, the spots that either have a distinctive vibe of their own or the ones that better convey the cultural traits of the place they belong to.

Why I love my city
Once the capital of a great empire, the first big city in the Americas, a bridge between Europe and Asia, and a refuge for intellectuals from all over the world, Mexico City has been a cultural melting pot throughout history and a breeding ground for an intense, ever-changing and defining interplay between different parts.

Quesadilla Stand

A street treat

Mexican food is street food, so quesadilla stands in Mexico City is a necessary experience. Go to Durango street, don't let Moctezuma's revenge scare you!

Oaxaca Aquí

Really, I mean, literally

"Oaxaca Aquí" in Mexico City is a little restaurant with specialties from Oaxaca. I love their mole negro and the tejate is also definitely a must...

Tío Pepe

Have a drink and get lost in time

"Tío Pepe": my favorite cantina in Mexico City's Chinatown. It has a warm homely environment and it has seen a lot: it's one of the oldest cantinas around.
