“Desayuno” Mexico City, 2025

We worked from our Airbnb this morning and did a co-work stream, then we headed out for brunch at Craving Crown. Coffee was a must, of course. I went for chilaquiles and Mariko had huevos al gusto – both hit the spot.

Once work was wrapped up, we wandered over to a nearby mall. It felt just like being back in the US, which was kind of funny. We had sushi at Moshi-Moshi (not very good, but not awful) and couldn’t resist grabbing ice cream at a little McDonald’s kiosk for about ten pesos (0.50 USD). Such a steal!

Later, we strolled around the neighborhood, picked up some fun socks from the street vendor as souvenirs, and found a cute little pot for plants. A mix of work, food, and exploring made for a pretty fun day. And also, a successful first day of workcation in a different country!

“Tacos al Pastor” Mexico City, 2025

Today was the start of our workacation to Mexico City!

We started our trip flying from Austin to Dallas and then on to Mexico City, and we were lucky enough to get business class seats. So nice to be able to stretch out and enjoy decent food and adult beverages while getting hyped for Mexico. After landing at MEX, the Uber to our Airbnb was fast, easy, and inexpensive.

Once we checked in, we set out to explore the neighborhood. Our first stop was the grocery store to pick up a few essentials (Mariko’s toothpaste was removed by TSA in Austin), then we made our way over to Mercado Roma.

We found Mercado Roma on Google Maps, and had thought it was a market, but it’s actually a food hall. The food didn’t look too enticing, and we didn’t like the vibe so much, but we did enjoy some mezcal and chatting with the host about the different types of mezcal. She recommended us to go to Taquitos Frontera for dinner. The food was incredible – Volcanes Arrachera y Queso, Tacos al Pastor, Brocheta de Champiñones, and a variety of salsas. To go with it all, I had a Michelada Cubana. A perfect meal to start the trip!
