The BEST NEIGHBORHOOD in MEXICO | Roma Norte in Mexico City

Ah, Roma Norte in Mexico City, the former home of 20th Century Mexican presidents, the set of the acclaimed film by Alfonso Cuarón, and now the beautiful neighborhood we call home.
Colonia Roma is known as a magnet for artists and creative minds not only for Mexico but for Latin America and now Europe and North America as well.
Because of this, this neighborhood in Mexico City has a notoriety for being, cutting edge, artistic, and just plain cool.
We love Roma because of its vibe, people, architecture, and the life that it offers us. Walking through the tree-lined streets and quaint parks, you have to wonder how this neighborhood isn't all everyone is talking about.
Let us be your travel guide as we show you around our favorite neighborhood in Mexico City, Roma Norte!
Thank you for watching!

i don’t think another neighborhood can ever top Roma in our hearts 😍

[@curcumagranola5283]

U should explore San Rafael and Juárez neighborhoods too

[@indiorevueltas.7462]

Hay muchos barrios con características similares y que guardan plasmados en su entorno las diferentes etapas históricas del país . Sin embargo, todos tienen sus peculiaridades originadas a partir de hechos diversos. Por ejemplo ,un barrio formador de guerreros, un barrio caracterizado por sus artistas (como lo fue lo que hoy es la Roma , pero a mediados del siglo X VI era un barrio de artesanos) hasta los barrios actuales descendientes de los peores grupos étnicos("peores" en el sentido bélico). Por algo Iztapalapa o Azcapotzalco son sitios duros y de gente brava. Saludos

[@cesaralquisira2946]

Mi barrio favorito cada vez que voy a CDMX, sino viviera en Cancún definitivamente viviría en Roma Norte .

[@trishriccardi262]

Thanks for your recommendations, I was born in Mexico City and moved to California when I was a little girl I’ve been back a couple times but never long enough to truly enjoy it and get to truly know it. We will be visiting next week do you have any recommendations as to where to stay? My nephew will be attending UNAM to take Spanish courses

[@sergioromero6876]

But why locals are not that info It anymore...you need to hang with locals

[@simonledoux8519]

So many wonderful places to visit! I am not as familiar with Roma as La Condesa but I did enjoy it when I went there. Mexico City in such a gem and so unique but these neighborhoods do remind me of Buenos Aires, Lisbon and New York. Some people might not think so but it has an old world style that I love. Great video guy and nice work!

[@JacksonCusick]

Have you two spent much time in Coyoacán? I was walking around this morning totally in love with how much quieter and slow-paced it is compared to Roma. Also there are churro spots EVERYWHERE down here 😂

[@sergtana]

Not all that much but of course it's such an amazing area too! Love it!

[@luyzqint3760]

Just like San Ángel.✌️

[@sergtana]

I love San Angel too! Mexico city is just great

[@rasraetc]

Coyoacan >>>>>>

[@robertdominguez3040]

Guys you knocked it out of the park. One of your best vídeos ever I must say, it was great, concise. I live it!!!

[@sergtana]

Thank you so much! We're honestly proud of it so it feels good to get recognition for it:)

[@Vancouver_Dan]

Thanks for this beautiful video! You got some great shots of the area and I really appreciate that you added some background information. Well done!

[@sergtana]

Thank you very much!

[@pedromunoz9120]

Nice video and even better information about Roma and the hot spots. Thanks!!

[@manuelravize6013]

Everything about this video, the drone shots, audio, video quality, history/facts, architecture, good vibes. Its just awesome! One day y’all should go to desierto de los leon on a hike or get some bikes because it looks amazing (I’ve never gone but it looks fun and peaceful)

[@sergtana]

Aww thank you so much! We've been paying more attention to these details the last few videos so we really appreciate you noticing!

[@lifeisjustswell]

Thank you for sharing all these spots with such great info and history! We absolutely loved Roma and will definitely be back!

[@MsDizdar]

Coming next week! Thanks for the informative video!

[@davidmontoya9383]

V-Ramen is AWESOME! I normally visit the one close to the UNAM central campus to the south of the city! Nice video guys, it showcases what can be expected when visiting la Roma! Congrats!

[@carmenalonso680]

Love seeing you guys explore MX. I always get my coffee ready and watch your videos before headed out to my hustle and bustle. Don't know why it's so relaxing. Maybe because Serg is so hipster. Much love guys, from TX.

[@wattsito]

Thanks for the video, your recommendations, and the historical data. Keep enjoying the Roma neighborhood, the CDMX and the country. Greetings.

[@sergtana]

Will do! Thanks for watching:)

[@jonathankramnik7583]

Very good video, I live in CDMX and I learned many things

[@SusanB16]

thanks for the tour! Can't wait to visit.

[@Daniel-jn2mn]

I'm going to be staying around there for 2 weeks at the end of this month going into December. Soooo excited.

[@betta1fish]

Really fun watching you guys!

[@gustavobarajas6155]

All places in Mexico are beautiful and unique there is no such thing as competition amongst cities in Mexico. And yes all of Mexico is THE REAL MEXICO.

[@sergtana]

agreed (:

[@lgreen8777]

Very nice! I can't wait to visit this summer.

[@sergtana]

Always worth the visit!

[@josemercado7167]

Love your videos... I like all the facts on the buildings and statues. Enjoy Mexico City!

[@sergtana]

thank you very much!!

[@AprilBrand74]

Great video! Thank you both

[@sergtana]

Thank you for watching🤗

[@esaubetancourt3370]

It has been so crazy to see La Roma change from when I would go there growing up to now. Hopefully it always maintains it’s authentic Mexico City character. So many firsts there. People who really did so much for the area and Mexico City. People like Gabriela Camara, Monica Patino, Aldo Chaparro, the girls from DNA magazine, Danaé Salazar, Fabiola Zamora, Emanuel Piccault, Zemmoa. A neighborhood truly built by artists and for artists.

[@jorgegrajales2500]

Who cares

[@anamaria2053]

Thank you! Your perspective and historical information about the neighborhood was interesting. I think the iron gates, etc. do serve a protective purpose, but they are pretty common throughout Spanish and colonial architecture in the Americas. In many wealthy neighborhoods they may offer only limited protection, if any, and are more of a symbol of wealth and status and, in fact, attract attention. Interesting how the stories evolve. BTW you’ve mentioned Serg’s heritage and that he went to university in MX and is fluent in Spanish, but I haven’t heard anything about Tana.’s Spanish. I noticed when she says Spanish words she pronounces them like an American. So I wonder if she does that because she’s speaking English and to be consistent or weather she has mastered Spanish yet. I’m enjoying your travels and unique perspective on Mexico. Thank you!

[@fernandozuazua2991]

Roma has a vibe no other place can deliver its like another world because feels like you in the past as well as the present

[@andrewthacker114]

Thanks for sharing, interesting area.

[@DeTodoUnPocoConMayra]

Hi new follower here!! ... seen couple videos love them!.. do u have a video where u talk about what u do for a living in mexico???

[@organic-artistic]

great video! I can't wait to visit! I love how you share about dogs since I have 3 of them. Happy Mother's Day Tana! Dog moms are moms too ☺️

[@sergtana]

Hehehe thank you so much! We will continue to overshare about our dog even if we start annoying people.

[@favilee5220]

This is totally different from all the videos I’ve seen . Thiis more of a history class. Thanks.

[@videogirlval]

Soooo helpful thank you

[@hjdreams1429]

I love thr history you share in your videos

[@ralphaldazi2768]

A question, from where do you guys get the historical facts, I'm a frequent visitor in the Condesa, Roma area and always look for the history behind those buildings, parks and spots, great video !!!!!

[@sergtana]

To prepare for these videos i watched a few hours of documentaries on the neighborhoods that you can find on KZbin in Spanish. Thank you!

[@gmtv5453]

I love ❤️ Mexico so beautiful city 🌃

[@sergtana]

We love it too! Beautiful city and beautiful country💛

[@indiorevueltas.7462]

Faltó "La Romita" . Para mucha gente(o casi toda), la colonia Roma surge antes de la revolución , etcétera ... Y en cierto sentido es así. Sin embargo, la colonia Roma tiene un pasado precolombino. Ahí existió un pequeño asentamiento y un grupo ajeno a los mexicas (con todo lo que significaba) . Según las fuentes históricas, un barrio caracterizado por pescadores, artesanos y floricultores. En lo que hoy se conoce como "La Romita" podemos ver claramente el planeamiento del barrio a partir de las características físicas que predominaron en el gran lago. Se ve claramente la red canales o el grosor de estos , etcétera. Desde mi punto de vista(y el de muchos también ) ,"La Romita" es el verdadero origen y corazón de la colonia Roma. O quizás no lo sea, lo que si es , " La Romita" es la parte más antigua de la colonia Roma. Saludos

[@rosapevia5599]

Awesome video.

[@fergomez3817]

So many places to visit in Mexico City, next time I’m there I will save a day to visit Roma for the first time 🇲🇽👍😀 Saludos y bendiciones ✌️

The dogs that are lined up (MexicoCity park) next to each other on a leash are for sale ?

[@sergtana]

No they were just in obedience training

[@dani-xw3lc]

Yay for the dog mural 🥳

[@Sheilawisz]

Hello Serg and Tana! Cool video! I remember that you are Nintendo players, hey guess what, I got a Switch too! Do you play Super Mario Maker 2?

[@sergtana]

Nice! We don't... Do you recommend it? We like games that we can play 2 player locally.

[@Sheilawisz]

@@sergtana Yes, in Super Mario Maker 2 you can enjoy local multiplayer, and creating levels is tons of fun! I would play your levels, you can play levels created by people from the entire world.

[@AprilBrand74]

That makes me happy, dogs find owners there. ❤️💙

[@sergtana]

We love to see it too!💛

We’re thinking of moving to CDMX. Any advice on how to find an apartment?

I was just there love Colonia Roma

[@cmedi1514]

Are the museum is open I plan to visit in three weeks for about 3-4 days...If you know, please let me know I would be very appreciated😄 and what like fun to do.. I’m in my 20’s...

[@sergtana]

Yes! Most major museums are open now but they have a capacity limit so it might be best to try to go during the week when they're not busy. We're in our 20s too and what's most fun to us is walking around and eating/drinking at some cool spots we stumble upon. I don't know of many nightlife activities that are open yet.

[@cmedi1514]

@@sergtana OK cool cool yeah I’m from Chicago but my family we have a house in Cuernavaca but I don’t have time to take a bus for 2 hours to get there... and I really just want to see how Mexico City is... so I plan just to go for 3-4day... do you think it’s safe to travel to Mexico City by myself... any tips how I should get around like Uber? And I’m half Mexican so my Spanish is good so I shouldn’t be worried about anything right?

[@sergtana]

Right. Uber is definitely a good option because it's safe, affordable, and everywhere. Otherwise just be sure not to get into a more notorious neighborhood and you should be fine. There are millions of tourists in this city every year, enjoy!

[@cmedi1514]

@@sergtana Thank you and is the Zona Rosa neighborhood safe to stay in? And how is LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 night life in zona Rosa? That’s where I plan on staying... so I just want to know if know information about that neighborhood.

[@sergtana]

Yes, zona Rosa is within the Juarez neighborhood and it's an amazing place! I know the nightlife there is legendary but I've never been, especially during covid. I would definitely live there.

[@melissalb]

Can you please recommend vegan places in Mexico City please? 💞 or where to buy matcha , 😊

[@sergtana]

Yes! We'll make a video on this eventually but for now, we can recommend Por Siempre, Los Loosers, and Plantasia. Those are our top picks. For matcha, we buy it Kokoro online, it's very good and reasonably priced for the quality

[@victoriavictoria4282]

Vegetacos. Coyoacán.

[@sergiomartinez9791]

I am wondering where you guys are from???

Interested in costs/for renting a 1 bedroom flat would be in this area

[@DivinesLegacy]

Where in San Francisco are you guys from?

[@agl5132]

I'm loving the dog-friendliness in Roma. I'm moving to CDMX at the beginning of Aug and looking at Roma, Condessa, Polanco and I heard San Angel and Lomas de Chapultepec are nice areas as well.

[@sergtana]

Absolutely! All of those are beautiful areas. Each of them have their own charm so it's up to what you're looking for.

[@QrlzM]

Lomas de Chapultepec is the richest neighborhood in Mexico City just so you know

[@agl5132]

@@QrlzM I've been here two months and actually chose a quieter location near Parque Hundido. With that being said I'm going up to San Miguel de Allende next month for a few months.

[@Sheilawisz]

Hi Serg and Tana, I think the channel needs more variety. From Mexico City you can easily travel to Morelos state, once again I recommend that you stay at Hacienda Cocoyoc. To the north from MC you can also travel quickly to Real del Monte and Huasca, here in Hidalgo state.

[@sergioromero6876]

Roma was cool 2008

I’m dead that one of your favorite places to eat in Mexico is Japanese food. Lol I mean ramen is fire.

Next time, can you actually show us the neighborhood instead of just standing in front of the camera? And what’s the point of standing in front of a restaurant that’s closed?
