Great video guys, there are other huge places you can visit here in Monterrey the next time you decide to visit this city, like these places: -Chipinque: It Is a big protected area in the mountain where you can walk, ride bicycles or just enjoy the gorgeous views of the city -Cola de caballo: It's a waterfall and you can do some activities like ride a horse, jump from a bungee, or eat and buy typical things from the region. -San Pedro Garza García: It's the richest city in México and latin america, you will enjoy the buildings, malls, the big houses and beautiful parks that are very similar to the parks you can find in Canada, It Is also the safest city in México -Bioparque estrella: it is a big zoo where the animals are free and you get into a bus so they can take you to see the animals in their natural habitat. -Santiago: It Is a magic and old town with a lot of colorful houses and its environment is full of green mountains, there Is also a large lake where u can rent a sailboat, eat fish, or just enjoy the great views. There are more beautiful places like mirador del obispado or grutas de García, thank you for visit and show our city to your country and to the world. I send y'all my best vibes and wishes from Monterrey, México. cya! 😊

There are not street stand with kid goat tacos. But the best kid goat tacos are in restaurant El Jonuco near from airport in Apodaca Nuevo León. Also el Jonuco has excellent regional cuisine.

Indeed, Monterrey in comparison to other mexican cities such as Guadalajara, Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato and etc, it doesn't have a colonial or at least prehispanic backstory, Monterrey is an industrial city since its foundation back in september 20, 1596. Many of the great industries and corporatives of Mexico began here such as Coca Cola-FEMSA (Oxxo), Vitro, Grupo Alfa, CEMEX, etc. So, yeah, it's a modern/urban city 100%, 'cause it doesn't have prehispanic or indigenous architecture, btw, by now is the 2nd most important and 2nd most populated city in Mexico and also, the richest and most expensive one in whole Latin America (since 2019).

Hi. Nice video. I would like to comment that us Mexicans are fond of making jokes abut the people of MTY because of their tendency to imitate their Texan neighbors. The people from other regions of Mexico call regios "the Texans of the south" and we also claim that MTY is the most southern neighborhood of San Antonio, TX. For regios, the perfect weekend includes doing some shopping at Laredo, TX and having a barbecue in their backyards. You won't find much culture or ancient ruins in MTY, but there are 3 very cool museums by the Paseo Santa Lucía which are worth the visit. They focus on art and history of Northern Mexico.

I can see that now that you mention it! :D Pretty cool because we've always said if we ever move back to the US, it's got to be San Antonio, Texas because of the Mexican culture and close proximity to Mexico! That sounds like a good weekend to us too. :) Thanks for the suggestions on the museums, we'll check them out when we're in town next!

@@laurenandseth Daniel 72 doesn't know anything about the culture in Monterrey, he's lying. In fact, he does not have studies in culture, like the majority of Mexicans, and that is why he does not understand the phenomenon of border cultures and falls into excess of saying that we imitate Texans. Texas and the Mexican Northeast have been a cultural unit since the Foundation, within which there was trade and population exchange since the seventeenth century. Good video!

Nope. Most of the headquarters of American companies are in Mexico city. In fact most of these headquarters are the Latin American headquarters. These offices run their all Latin America operations from Mexico city. Although Monterrey is relative modern, it doesn't compare to the modernity of Mexico city's new business district Santa Fe where you find the headquarters of Microsoft, Best Buy, Huawei, Ford, Sony, Movistar (Telefónica), Microsoft, Televisa, Roche, PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Company, McDonald's, Amazon, Apple Inc, group Bimbo to name a few. The reason there are not many foreign people living in Monterrey is that after a few weeks Monterrey becomes too boring.
