08:00
Grab a quiet coffee at Café Ruta de la Seda. Look for the small, green stucco building with no sign over the door. The tables and chairs on the sidewalk are your only clue. It is the perfect spot to wake up in this residential neighborhood.
08:30
Walk ten minutes to El Chupacabras for some of the most famous street tacos in Mexico City. Order the chupacabra taco, a combination of pork, beef and a secret ingredient. Since they are open 24/7, you can grab these any time you like.
09:30
Head to Parque Hundido. This large urban greenspace is popular with families, but in the morning it is peaceful. Stroll through the park and look for the 50 reproductions of pre-Hispanic sculptures, including the large Olmec head.
Local tip
Parque Hundido is busy on weekends. For a quieter experience, go on a weekday morning. The walk between the taco stand and the park is short and straightforward.
