Centro Comercial Morelos
The real heart of the Zona Rosa. A stretch of 6 blocks of Morelos street is closed to vehicle traffic and has become a popular pedestrian shopping arcade. It's a great place for people watching, especially on Sunday afternoons when families flock to downtown.

Unpretentious casual cafe with good food and friendly service. One of the consistently best options along the pedestrian shopping area of Morelos (Zona Rosa). Two locations.

More famous for its monastery appearance and waitresses dressed as nuns than it is for its food, which is generally basic and a bit greasy, but cheap and filling.
