First Impressions of Monterrey (con subtítulos)

[@kinetickennons]

What time do you usually wake up on the weekends?

[@fonzyfnt5825]

Kinetic Kennons 7 am

[@RomyMacias]

7 a.m.

[@juanpabloescalante5423]

Usually at 11 am

[@andygar69]

[@j.m.5995]

Usually 6 to 8 hours after I lay my head down.

[@martinhrk4312]

People come to Monterrey for two reasons only: to live, because of work, school or marriage; and to visit, because of work, business, school, conferences, family, fun, night life, concerts, outdoors activities, sports, museums, history, food and mostly nostalgia... Our culture is based in two pillars: hard work and family, and we are damn proud of it! You'll always be welcome in our city.

[@kinetickennons]

thanks Martin!!

[@Isaiaswolf66]

Soy de Puebla y vine a estudiar, llevo 6 años aquí, y no me arrepiento, MTY me ha dado tantas cosas, aunque admito que cultural, culinaria, turísticamente Puebla es superior. Pero la ciudad ideal para trabajar, estudiar y superarse es MTY.

[@vadastory2348]

those are more than two reasons...

[@Pawis17]

I'm súper sad many people are dismissing our way to live just because we do focus on work. Our food is amazing, family comes first and we have amazing surroundings to visit and enjoy. I'm guessing it's because they have never really been here. I've lived in Zacatecas (I love it), Puebla, CDMX, Pachuca, Gdl... And I's never change my City for a different one. We may have our issues but we surely know how to get over them.

[@Isaiaswolf66]

Pao M' Cisneros Why sad? Just Ignore them, MTY is awesome. pura gente trabajadora! Soy poblano pero me considero Regio.

[@cesarmunoz7696]

Monterrey tiene partes bonitas e interesantes para visitar sin duda. Pero como mencionan muchos, es una ciudad industrial. A pesar de que soy regiomontano no creo que Monterrey sea una ciudad turistica para todos, me explico: Lo "encantador" de México son sus tradiciones, su arquitectura colonial, su colorido etc. Estas cosas se nos hacen hermosas a todos. Sin embargo Monterrey tiene muy poco de esas cuestiones. La filosofía de los empresarios regios es ser los mejores de México, no tanto en el "ser los mas bonitos y tradicionales". En Monterrey siempre la filosofía es ser el mejor de México, por ejemplo: (Tener el edificio mas alto, tener las mejores universidades, ser el estado mas rico de México, tener el mejor y mas moderno estadio, tener el hasta bandera mas alta de México, tener los mejores "malls" de México, próximamente también hay un proyecto de tener "la Cruz" mas alta de México etc etc) Todo esta filosofía de querer superar a la Ciudad de México y ser los mejores, le quita "tradicion y raices mexicanas" a la Ciudad de Monterrey, y le da un toque de modernidad y diferente a la mayoría de las ciudades en centro y sur de México. A una persona que viene de Centroamerica, Sudamerica o de otros estados del mismo México le puede parecer muy bonita la ciudad de Monterrey por lo antes explicado, pero para ustedes Wera y Goyo que han estado acostumbrados a todas las ciudades de Estados Unidos, no les impresiona en lo absoluto. Porque Monterrey en su afan de ser los mejores de Méxicos se acerca mas a la filosofía gringa que a las raíces mexicanas. Puede ser por la cercanía con Texas. De igual forma espero que disfruten los bonitos lugares de Monterrey. :)

[@oscarrimore]

I agree, I always said it, I’m from Monterrey

[@joseestrada1011]

Andrés Fregoso y a mi Las de mexico 😅

[@DanteAllighieri]

Es lo que estaba pensando, y creo que en general las ciudades del norti son mas agringadas.

[@fredotob]

César Muñoz Y sin embargo... TAMBIÉN ES MÉXICO y vale mucho la pena visitarlo. Las características de nuestra ciudad forman parte de ese gran mosaico cultural que presumimos.

[@luc9-5]

Pueden visitar Santa Lucia, las grutas, escalar las montañas, la macro plaza o fundidora... Que desperdicio de viaje.

[@cesarmunoz7696]

Primero que nada hay que aclarar que Monterrey no es una ciudad como el sur o centro de México. Es una ciudad industrial, pero también pueden encontrar varios lugares muy bonitos e interesantes. También es importante señalar que todos los lugares que les voy a mencionar están en la zona metropolitana de Monterrey. En Monterrey pueden visitar el paseo Santa Lucía y Parque Fundidora (De preferencia por la tarde-noche). De igual forma pueden visitar el Asta bandera del Cerro del Obispado. Si quieren tener un poco mas de "glamour" pueden ir al centro comercial Fashion Drive en San Pedro Garza Garcia, y ahí pueden comer delicioso en cualquiera de los restaurantes con excelentes vistas hacia los edificios de Valle Oriente. (Las fotos de noche en esa zona quedan geniales). Otra cosa solo como dato y "para la foto", es que tenemos la "Torre COI" que se encuentra en San Pedro Garza García y es el edificio mas alto de todo México. También tenemos el Estadio BBVA que es el mas nuevo y moderno de todo México hasta el momento, este se encuentra en Guadalupe NL. Si les gusta la naturaleza, pueden ir al Parque Chipinque (Ubicado en San Pedro Garza Garcia NL) o al Parque La Estanzuela (Ubicado en los limites de Monterrey con Santiago NL), ambos muy bonitos. También pueden ir a Santiago NL, ahí si tienen su plaza e iglesia en el centro y además, en ese lugar vale la pena visitar la "Cola de Caballo". Por otro lado también pueden visitar "Las Grutas de García" en García NL. También tenemos el "BioParque Estrella" un lugar que es como un Safari, donde vas en un camion y los animales andan libres por todo el lugar (Muy recomendable) Si les gusta la vida nocturna pueden ir a Barrio Antiguo o a "Centrito" Valle. Monterrey es famoso por sus cabritos y las carnes asadas, pueden visitar los restaurantes "El Rey del Cabrito" o el "Gran Pastor" ambos muy buenos. Si les gustan las artesanías, pueden visitar el area de "Los Cavazos" en Santiago NL En Monterrey NO encontrarán cosas parecidas a Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende etc, porque son de estilos muy distintos, pero sin duda en Monterrey hay mucho por conocer.

[@kinetickennons]

¡Gracias por todas las excelentes recomendaciones!

[@Alex_tressapos]

César Muñoz I was going to write my own recommendations but you cover it all. Chipinque park is a must for a good hike. Rent some bikes in fundidora park.

[@vadastory2348]

No olvides: si les gustan las aventuras extremas, tienen que ir a Matacanes!!!

[@JoseMorales-kv2hn]

César Muñoz César que tal mis Papas son Regios : vivo En Floridad estoy casado con una Americana Tengo 4 carreras, y una de Ellas soy Pastor de una Iglesia Cristiana y estamos orando a Dios para habrir una Iglesia en Monterrey en Inglés o bilingue y ensenar Inglés a los Regios que asistan a la Iglesia. Y ser una Comunidad de ayuda , los que no tengan una carrera enseñarles Igles para que tengan mejor trabajo, no cobraremos por enseñar Inglés.

[@JR-zf4gx]

César Muñoz En Monterrey no hay cultura, que van a ver los turistas fábricas? O edificios?

[@agbagb14]

I'm from Monterrey. I agree, it's not a touristic city and you definitely need to do some research or ask people for suggestions before going. Even better if you have a local tour guide, a friend...someone you know. It's definitely worth it to give it a second chance. My boyfriend is from NY and he loves it here. Hiking is a must!

[@gustavorodriguez2051]

Qué agradable pareja! Saludos desde otro norte muy diferente Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico 🇲🇽

[@bryangalaviz2601]

Soy de Mexicalo y Monterrey me parece una ciudad bellisima. Me encanta su arquitectura moderna y la cercania entre sus municipios.

[@AJVG972]

As many others have pointed out Monterrey isn't really a tourist city, it is an industrial city that is mostly all about business. However it dies have nice attractions but they are geared more towards the locals as places to spend the weekend to relax, that being said my top pick for such a short stay is chipinque, the semi long ride from the center of the city allows you to see Monterrey and trasitions to San Pedro a very modern very rich place, but most importantly the view from the top of chipinque is one of the best in the city

[@nextor123]

Monterrey Is a mixture between México and USA. Or at least that Is what I precieved when I visited.For example, macro plaza is a huge and beautiful place but it is always empty. Completely opposite to what it happens in central and south México. I think the best part of Monterrey are its mountains.

[@maxposadas8912]

Im from Monterrey.... but, yes. The reallity is that Mty is not CDMX, this city is just like "go, go, go, go..." you are not going to find "mercaditos" or cheap food. But you´ll find lots an lots of fast food... I guess the charm of Monterrey is the "industrial" side of it. There are a lot of HEADQUARTERS (brands, business, etc)... Basically you have been in the "pretty" side of the city (Barrio Antiguo/Macroplaza), at least talking about trees and green sights... By now you probably are not in Mty any more... but the tourist part is outside the city, Cola de Caballo (waterfall), Matacanes (Water, rocks, mountain), Carretera Nacional (food everywhere), Grutas de García (Caves), etc.. etc.... Monterrey is very expensive, since is the part of Mexico which has the lower % of government support (light, water, gas, etc...). San Pedro Garza Garcia, on the other hand... is the really expensive part of "Monterrey". =/ Not that tourist vibe for sure... hahaha. Thank you for visting my hometown. Safe travels!

[@kinetickennons]

very interesting! Thank you for helping us put all of the pieces together :)

[@alfredomoreno4956]

It's true that our tourism goes more about nature, but it's completely false that you won't find cheap food and markets. There are a lot of cafeterias and different restaurants all around the city, cheap to gourmet. And yeah we have a lot of headquarters and factories but they´re not even near downtown or san Pedro

[@57RICARDOTE]

¿Menos soporte económico gubernamental dices?...mmhhh Ya por favor quitémonos esa parte de víctimas, quizá no tengamos el "soporte económico" que dices, pero actualmente es por los estúpidos diputado, gobernadores, etc, que elegimos, o sea tenemos o que merecemos. Así que no te creas eso Kinetic, es por lo tontos que somos.

Welcome to Monterrey , as you are finding out it is basically a Modern city, but you can know places like LA HUASTECA, COLA DE CABALLO, SANTIAGO, with a more nature approach, or you can go to EL ALFA ( museum with one of the biggest IMAX movie screen in the world) , FASION DRIVE in San Pedro which is the highest income place or town in LATIN AMERICA, and other places already mentions in other comments Thanks for visiting hope you gat better luck to go to the best places

[@adl6907]

And you can visit Loma Larga lol

[@omarhernandez9148]

you need to go to Chihuahua.... cascada de basiachi, las barrancas del cobre, take a ride on Don Chepe it's a train that goes thru a great views, and so many more things

[@nwo6365]

Soy mexicano y conozco varias ciudades del país como Tijuana, CDMX, Puebla, Cancún, Mérida por mencionar algunas. Visite Monterrey por trabajo por una semana pero de verdad jamás viviría en una ciudad como esa por la siguientes razones: tiene el peor y más caro sistema de transporte público que he conocido, si tienes vehículo propio no hace mucha diferencia por los embotellamientos. Todo allí es caro pero especialmente la comida y la vivienda hablando de comida parece que en Monterrey no se sabe comer otra cosa que no sean carnes y finalmente el clima es extremadamente caluroso y me comentaban que hay una época que se va al extremo y las temperaturas caen mucho.

[@zOrO2kX]

I'm from Monterrey and I know exactly how you feel about the surroundings and the food. There's a lof places to discover tho, like Paseo Santa Lucía, Santiago, San Pedro, and yeah, don't skip the Cabrito. Welcome to Monterrey!

[@esdrassantiago1085]

Prueba de que Monterrey si tiene cultura 👌👏🇲🇽 Saludos desde la Ciudad de México.

[@jaycastruita89]

Monterreey is a city where u need to know to enjoy, its hard if you go and just wonder around, you need to have a destinations plan, and drive to those places, because pretty much everything is far away, but the food there is amazing.

[@kinetickennons]

I think so too..but we weren't able to really find good food actually!

[@oscarrimore]

Kinetic Kennons it’s really hard to find good food because the quality varies from stand to stand and you really have to know which one is better by experience, and there are only a handful of establishments that do things right, but when you find them its the most unbelievably and mindblowing delicious food you’ll ever taste but like I said, you have to personally know which ones and they’re very hard to find very very hidden gems.

[@oscarrimore]

Whereas in southern Mexico pretty much anywhere you find is suuuper good, anything you get from any street cart around is top notch and it has to do with the quality of local and natural ingredients vs. processed food that is more prominent around here

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

In Northern Mexico I have had a lot of bad food and a lot of the best food. I have never been more south than Zacatecas so I would not know how that is ;)

[@irisromo]

México es diversidad!! Ni nosotros mismos conocemos todo lo que tenemos, espero que hayan tenido una buena estancia en mi estado 😘

[@alexwalkergaming]

So amazing guys that you came to visit my hometown, I hope you have a wonderful time here and enjoy your stay here. I think your videos keep getting better and better keep up the great job.

[@gantlis]

me encantan chicos... que buenos videos hacen mostrando lugares y perspectivas de las ciudades que visitan y que yo no hubiera visto nunca en fotos , reportajes o noticias ... ya conoci mejor el Monterrey que queria ver si era cierto que existia!!!!!!... y despues de este video ahora si quiero ir a conocer esa bella ciudad... gracias por mostrarnos lugares que nadie mas nos muestra .... los amo!!

[@Robertgmz5]

Yes, I think you'll notice the changes and difference in dialect, food, architecture and hospitality throughout different parts of Mexico. From a quaint Pueblo to a highly populated industrial city, you'll be able to find some beautiful distinction in each. Keep it up Guera and Goyo! 👍

[@x_rl_z]

I gotta say .you guys got a good vibe in all your vids I've watched. love the way you edit them too. If you are in Monterrey don't forget to go to visit the caves too.

[@kinetickennons]

thank you so much amigo!

[@chrisbauer9896]

I've lived here for 35 years. Lots to see and do. Museums; history and art, restaurants with traditional foods such as cabrito and antojitos mexicanos as well as italian, American style franchises, vegetarian. Hiking in the mountains in our "in city" national park Chipinque, Parque Estanzuela, Cola de Caballo, ecotourism just 45 minutes from downtown, the cave tours in Garcia, lots of shopping malls, outdoor parks, churches, Obispado, one of Mexico's largest flags 1600 sq meters, the list goes on. I love Monterrey.

[@aldosoberon]

Nunca había visto tanto odio hacia una ciudad Mexicana como el que desprende Monterrey. Da vergüenza ajena leer ciertos comentarios en este video. Monterrey es una ciudad hermosa y MUY diferente a lo que se acostumbra en el sur y centro de México. Al final esto reafirma la enorme diversidad que ofrece este grandioso país. La ciudad tiene muchísimos lugares increíbles para visitar, pero siento que el viaje que realizaron fue muy corto y/o no planificaron bien sus tiempos. Ojalá pronto puedan visitar los museos de MUNE e Historia Mexicana, Planetario Alfa, hacer senderismo por Chipinque, visitar el Horno 3 de Fundidora, subir al Mirador del Obispado, ir a las grutas de García, visitar el pueblo Mágico de Santiago NL, conocer el municipio de San Pedro que es uno de los más lujosos del país y de AL, escalar la Huasteca y cerro de la Silla, tomar la excursión de Matacanes, pasear por la Estanzuela, Cola de Caballo, etc. Monterrey está rodeado de una naturaleza muy única en Mexico llena de hermosos paisajes y eso la da una identidad muy propia a la ciudad.

[@aldosoberon]

eiza g no generalices Eiza. Mala gente hay en todos lados. La idea que tienes tu de los regios está muy lejos de la realidad.

[@aldosoberon]

Olvidalo Eiza, he estado viendo tus comentarios acerca de mi ciudad en el otro video y lo tuyo ya es un problema muy personal con la ciudad y sus habitantes. No pienso seguir discutiendo con gente que tiene problemas graves de inferioridad. Saludos.

Hi! I live in Guadalajara that is known as more touristical city in a traditional way, but I think Monterrey in a different way and vibe is very interesting and woth the visit, the monuments like Obispado or Palacio de Gobierno, Paseo Santa Lucia, Fundidora for me the best park of Mexico, Chipinque or Huasteca I think MTY shows the diversity of Mexico and every city, every state makes Mexico more interesting and MTY itself in its character is interesting and a very nice place to visit at least I enjoyed the city.

[@sergiosanchez3734]

Now that you were in places like Querétaro and Guanajuato you will notice that Monterrey lacks good weather, the richness of food, the beautiful design ,but many inhabitants think they live in the greatest city of the country and feel offended if told otherwise, you will see that most of the good places to know are not in Monterrey, as La Cola de Caballo waterfall that is in Santiago, the Parque Estrella, the Carretera Nacional area, los Cavazos commercial corridor, the Ramos river in Allende, Nuevo León are nice places to go, hope you enjoy your stay here.

[@kinetickennons]

very interesting and I have to agree with everything you say--super different from other places we have seen!

[@cristhianlopez4902]

usually in Mexico we build parks surrounding our city halls and very commonly you will find a cathedral nearby, so, look for the city hall in any city or even small towns and you will find the main square. In the case of Monterrey is located in the Macro plaza.

Monterrey is a multifacetic city; modern, industrial, traditional, bohemian, and unique in its own way. So there is not actually a way to figure it out...lol Everything in Monterrey may seem like in other parts of Mexico but is actually different in its own way.

La Uniersidad de Monterrey, Nuevo Leon es una the las mejores Uniersidades en Latin America. Many of these graduated students are taken by several countries in Europe, they are one of those in more demand throughout Mexico as well. The Alameda is the place instead of the 'plaza central'. You just did what you suppose to do when the area is expensive,...You just look for the 'MERCADO", and now you have good food for at affordable price. That is the way students travel in Mexico.

[@hugosapien3705]

The central plaza of any town in Mexico will have a church and the mayor's building. In the case of Monterrey, you missed it because it's the southern end of the Macroplaza. The Cathedral is on one side, the "new" Municipal Palace (built in the 70s) on its south end and the old mayor's palace (now a museum) on the west side. The north of the Macro is where the Governor's Palace is (also a museum) and there was a small plaza across from it. Now, it's just one great Macroplaza. When built, it was the second largest in the world after the Red Square in Russia. Barrio Antiguo, btw, is part of what regios call downtown.

There’s nothing really attractive like the south Mexico, not very much culture around here, But if it was up to me I would’ve taken you to the places with the real street food, tacos mañaneros, the real snacks , and I would’ve taken you to villa de santiago, a small colonial town, but it seems y’all have already come and left , but next time(if there’s a next time at all 😂) I’ll be your tour guide, the wonders of nature here are outstanding, you should definitely hike the mountains, and the city is huge you would need more than 3 days to really see the good things. But lets wait for the next video to see your final thoughts, good luck on your next adventures Gueros and take care, all the best from a Regio!

[@kinetickennons]

it is just very different than what we expected! We knew to expect the city to be modern, but I actually dont think we saw that either so mainly just confused! We did LOVE the mountains surrounding the city--those are beautiful!

[@RomyMacias]

The mountains are breathtaking. I think you need more time to soak in the city and it's surroundings. Like raxotube above said, Villa de Santiago is a lovely town to see, la Cola de Caballo (Horse Tail Falls), Chipinque, you missed hiking up the trails... El Obispado, Montemorelos (eat their oranges), El Planetario, La Huasteca, la Zona Rosa, Fundidora, la Catedral, Arab food is delicious... so much more to explore!

[@oscarrimore]

The thing is, I'm pretty sure you stayed within the vicinity of old downtown which is the founding square where the city began and is not very developed, but the metropolitan area of Monterrey is very large and things are distant from each other, its not like in the states that everything is centered around downtown. There is an area that I don't know if you had the chance to go to, but is on the other side of a big hill which actually blocks the view of the main skyline where all the buildings are, and you can't see from where you were in the video , you can't see it from fundidora either. did you get the chance to go to chipinque?

[@jaivas16]

Monterrey is kind of like L.A., it doesn't hit you in the face with beauty like San Francisco...it takes a few years living there to appreciate the city

[@fernandog7383]

mty is ugly haha

[@angelicabarbosa6660]

Wow que hermosa Ciudad despues de ver el video cheque que es industrial y tiene todo lo de estados unidos tiene antes creia que era un pueblo pero tienen un alto nivel de vida comparado con otras partes de mexico no cabe duda que es una gran ciudad algun dia ire de vacacciones

[@fulangator]

Lo siento gringos soy de Monterrey y la mala noticia es, que no es turistico, y vaya que nos esforzamos para que lo sea, pero tengan en cuenta que era practicamente un desierto en los años 50, hemos avanzado mucho pero nos falta, tenemos ciertas atracciones y comidas pero no tantas como en el sur, Monterrey es una fabrica bonita por decirlo de algun modo, los lugares donde pudieran encontrar buena comida no son turisticos, y casi todas las atracciones son naturales como las montañas y sus alrededores, estoy seguro que se iran con una impresion bastante gris de Monterrey, pero es lo que hay, aun asi espero que se hayan sentido bienvenidos y se hayan divertido. Saludos y cuidense.

[@fredotob]

Por fin están en Monterrey! Que gusto, bienvenidos.

[@cesarperez4449]

Monterrey is more expensive than CDMX. CDMX has better climate too but I can easily go to Monterrey from Tejas for the weekends...

[@CesarPerez-dx8pn]

cesar Perez Mismo nombre y mismo apellido saludos cordiales tocayo

[@leonidas759]

I'm in Monterrey now as a tourist. I'm from Cdmx and honestly i'm quite surprised by how there's not many touristic things to do. This city looks like a cool place to live but definitely not the most impressive place to visit. When i ask locals what to do they tell me to go to mountains and waterfalls because the city doesn't have much to offer. Anyway i'm happy to be here.

[@RomyMacias]

You're in my home town...wow!!!

[@kinetickennons]

finally!

[@jowr5572]

You really need to plan a trip to Oaxaca for the Guelaguetza festival, which is the next two Mondays. That will be your best trip ever in Mexico, trust me.

[@kinetickennons]

We are going soon :)

[@luispech3735]

Vayan al mirador del hasta bandera. La vista es impresionante!!!!!! Y esta dentro de la ciudad...

[@jonavlogtv8258]

Great video! Mexico has so much to see and explore! You should definitely visit La Huasteca Potosina 👍🏻

[@alejandrocarranza4983]

Bienvenido a Monterrey, Nuevo León :D

[@victoreduardoperez5525]

Hey Guys thanks for love my country, i live now in Houston Texas, you should visit Real de 14, San Luis Potosi is a old town in Mexico it looks vary cool the small town

[@kinetickennons]

I will have to look that up! we need to go back to SLP soon!!

[@victoreduardoperez5525]

thanks guys and enyoy your trip around my country, is beautiful but right now i can’t for my work, that place is one os the most old town in Mexico but this town is about 1 mile above sea level its very cold and every year you will see snow

[@Xergecuz]

You won't find much colonial architecture in northern Mexico for the same reason you don't find it in Santa Fe, San Antonio or Los Angeles, northern Mexico was all small towns during the colonial period up until the early 20th century, so you'll find the modern parts as in Queretaro but not the colonial centro with all the nice buildings.

[@kinetickennons]

interesting-thanks for sharing!

[@rogeroga]

Yes, also I have read that the northern part of Mexico because its weather and harsh conditions was not as liked as the central part of Mexico, also was a place where people of religions other than Catholics were recommended to go. Monterey was founded by Jews.

[@kapachangos]

So Zacatecas, Durango and Alamos Sonora doesnt exist?

[@Savonarola721]

That is not true, the first Governor (Carvajal) was a Jew but he established the colony on behalf of the King of Spain, he was also a slave trader. The actual founder of Monterrey was Diego de Montemayor who was not a Jew.

[@Savonarola721]

What about Zacatecas, Saltillo, Durango, Chihuahua, Parral, Sombrerete, Montemorelos? Now in the former territories of California and Nuevo Mexico there are plenty of Missions and Presidios. In Texas there is San Antonio which still keeps plenty of Spanish colonial architecture. And the city of New Orleans what they call the French Quarter is actually the Spanish Quarter since most of the buildings are actually Spanish not french with the exception of some churches. It is true there were less cities than in central Mexico but it is also true that many cities lost their colonial and also their 19th century charm in order to "modernize", it is therefore the fault of individuals and their local governments for not conserving the architectural heritage of the cities. The same thing happened in Guadalajara, many of the Spanish colonial and neoclassical buildings were destroyed in an attempt to modernize the city.

[@AdrianaRamirez-mu4lx]

The Macroplaza, it's the main plaza in Monterrey, the "museum" that you just visited at the beginning of the video, it's also the Nuevo Leon's government principal building, and at the beginning of "La Macro" (as we usually call it), near to the Contemporary Art Museum (MARCO in spanish), it is the principal Monterrey's building of the municipal government :) So, that's our principal plaza, La Macro

[@alydlagza.2005]

Taqueria Juarez, Tacos del guero, el Samuray, La Rosa náutica en centro Monterrey, Cabrito el Rey del Cabrito o más económico El gran pastor, el cabritero en el centro de Monterrey igual. Nieve de fruta natural en Tocumbo, céntrico Valle, y Chipique en San Pedro también.

[@gabrielshow8978]

Aly D'La Gza. Que bonito sería conocer todos esos lugares contigo ✌️😉💛

[@JoseMorales-kv2hn]

Aly me gusta ir al Buffets de Pizza en Monterrey está súper Delicioso mi Esposa es una Guera y vivimos en Florida, pero mis Papa es Regio: Estuvimos pensando en habrir una Iglesia en Monterrey en Inglés

[@adl6907]

Jose Morales Los protestantes creen que las Iglesias son negocios que cualquier ignorante puede abrir

[@JoseMorales-kv2hn]

Alejandro en USA. Nos hacen Auditorias y a qui ni juegan .Estudie Consejero Familiar a qui. General Motors me mando a la A escuela soy un Tech Certificado, Ford , Honda, También Estudie Refrijeracion y aire acondicionado, Certificado, Estudie para ser un jefe de mantenimiento en construcción.

[@alydlagza.2005]

Jose Morales si hay buffet en varios lugares y son deli y si sería padre una Iglesia quizás bilingüe o Inglés para la comunidad extranjera y los agregados que dominan el Inglés en varias ciudades del país hay Iglesias regulares Español, Bilingües y para sordomudos saludos 😊

[@aespencercc]

😱 you guys are finally northern! Your next stop has to be Saltillo is just 40 min away from Monterrey, I have plenty of time to show you around the city of saltillo if you come over.

[@Explorante]

Gringos ya que estan en Monterrey no omviden ir a las grutas de García y al parque del cerro de la silla

[@ceciliahernandez4417]

I really like your channel and honest opinion everywhere you go, that way i can trust your reviews!!! Keep rocking it! 😎

[@kinetickennons]

Thank you so much!

[@dangarcia4255]

Se daran cuenta que Monterrey (el norte en general) es muy diferente al sur. Muuy diferente y la gente es maaas diferente aún, aunque no se ve a simple vista. Se los dice un RegioChilango, (es la peor combinación) hahaha

[@OscarRdz93]

Es que ellos esperaban ver lo mismo que el sur, pueblito colonial, y Monterrey es muy industrializado.

[@OscarRdz93]

¿? No entiendo de que hablas? Safar que? hahaha saludos!

[@ALEJAGDL]

si cono no

[@Ss-qr2lp]

Si, la gente es muy diferente, en el sur la gente es menoos amable, mas egoista, tuve que mudarme y mira que no me he adaptado, no hay caballerosidad, la gente es mas incivilizada, mas desordenada, no se preocupa tanto por el projimo, y me han robado de lo lindo, norte y sur de mexico son diferentes :/

[@ALEJAGDL]

Pues viví en MTY 5 años y me estas describiendo exactamente lo mismo.

[@shantalr.2260]

The place were you enter the museum was our main Plaza, but is not like other plazas in Mexico. It is called Macroplaza because of it's size. There a Lot of things happen there like many of the main shows of the Festival Internacional de Santa Lucía wich is our main cultural Festival. :)

[@dramirezg70]

As a regio myself, I am sorry +Kinetic Kennons. You won't find the culinary wonders that you have experienced in central Mexico, neither the beauty and culture thereof. Native Monterrey cooking is very simple and unsophisticated. Other food offerings from other states probably are going to be expensive. Other Mexicans always complain how expensive the food is in Monterrey. Cabrito is perhaps the most original thing Monterrey will have, that and some caramel candy called Glorias. I would recommend El Pastor on Gonzalitos avenue, but that is very ritzy and perhaps outside your budget. There is one place in the Mercado Juarez which is very traditional and old and perhaps within your price range. I am vegetarian when eating out, so I would recommend Tacos Dorados La Alberca, which are behind the Macroplaza on Zuazua street. They've been around like for 70 years and serve these tacos which are very original to the place. They are red tortillas stuffed with only seasoned mashed potatos, and can be served either hard fried or soft, and served with a salad of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. But they are delicious, specially the homemade red sauce they have on the side. They're like $60 pesos for an order of 5 tacos. But you better go early, like 5 pm-7pm, because supplies are limited. Call before going, and reserve your tacos. They are THAT good. On the other hand, Monterrey wants to be like the U.S. Actually, lots of regios love Houston (which has the biggest population of regios outside Mty), and generally have Texas as a point of modernity (eye-roll). The main points of attraction are very modern and new. Parks, stadiums, Fundidora, Santa Lucía, San Pedro. Most are not even 20 years old. Monterrey for most of its history was on the fringes of Mexican culture, and really did not start to develop until the end of the 19th c., and it really grew as a result of NAFTA in the late 1990s. Enjoy!

[@kinetickennons]

very interesting perspective--thanks for sharing!

[@alanmorales7181]

Dicen que queremos ser como una ciudad de USA, jajaja. Mejor digan que los regios no esperamos que nos mantenga el gobierno, como los de la cd s México y el sur del país.

[@dramirezg70]

El gobierno mantiene a los empresarios muy bien al no exigirles impuestos, y el pueblo mantiene a los mismos al ser pagados muy mal. Ellos si la saben vivir.

[@eveorea]

Nunca he escuchado esa frase solo de uno que otro regio como tu, nadie espera que los mantenga el gobierno ni en el centro ni en el sur ni los demás estados del norte, solo los regios adoctrinados a la gringues🙄 tienen esa idea, Pero en fin!👍🏻

[@eveorea]

chetosr la belleza natural de los estados del sur no se compara con la tierra y la mamoneria de los regios👍🏻

[@lucytheunicorn6658]

If you were to drive about 10 to 15 mins to San Pedro you would’ve seen another big difference. San Pedro has a lot of new buildings, malls, restaurants and is definitely growing so you would have also seen a difference

[@edule1]

Since you're already at Northern Mexico, consider coming to Chihuahua! I'd volunteer to show you guys around!

[@kinetickennons]

Chihuahua soon hopefully!

[@Monket2k]

I lived in Chihuahua a while back. When you guys go, visit las Barrancas del Cobre, it is bigger than the Grand Canyon and if you go to Ciudad Juárez, do not forget that is where the Burritos where invented, But... they are different from everywhere else. Just saying.

[@LuisEfrenCuenca]

The macroplaza is the place where everyone gathers! :) It is our angel for celebrating stuff and the zócalo as well. Monterrey is an awesome city. I grew up in Mexico City and then moved to Monterrey for studying and I don't regret anything. Monterrey has everything and has been improving after it's violent past. I love the culture around the hard work and love to family.

[@RomyMacias]

You have to go to the main Tec campus!

[@alflores4398]

For me the beauty of Monterrey is the areas close to the Sierra to the south, hope you have the chance to visit La Estanzuela, Santiago and so on. Hope you guys get to see that!

[@miguelgarcia-sb9mh]

Chipinque is a must.

[@lovemycats7120]
