Getting to Mexico City was so easy. It was a non-stop flight that wasn’t delayed and was just a little over four hours long. We noticed, as we were leaving the plane that there was not one child on our flight. I can’t remember the last time I was on a flight with no kids!
Mexico City is two hours ahead of California so we got in around 7:30pm. We had no issues at Passport Control or Customs and we didn’t check luggage so our time in the airport was limited.
We took the Metro to our AirBnB. Evidently it should have been a short trip on just one line but that line is undergoing “obras” so we had to take a longer, more circuitous trip. It was still easy and pretty fast.
We got to our AirBnB around 9pm and immediately headed out for quick dinner. We went to Orinoco, which is basically the In-n-Out of Mexican food. The interior was all red and white. They have a limited menu and they get food out super fast. We started with just three tacos each and they were amazing.
After dinner we headed to our first of the three best bars in Mexico City. Our reservation was at 11:30pm and we weren’t sure we would make it, but since our travel was wrinkle free, we did!
Our reservation at Rayo started in a fancy elevator, where a waiter offered us a starter drink and explained a little about the bar.
Up in the bar, we were seated and another waiter brought us a light box, which he explained was the menu. The box held 10 small bottles with droppers and we were encouraged to tasted each of the drinks with the droppers, then order the ones we liked best. It was a very unique and amazing “menu.”
We each got three drinks, which were each amazing. We were so glad we had made it for this particular reservation.
We lingered at Rayo for quite a while, taking in the fact that we had made it to Mexico City and our five days had begun on the highest of high notes.
We finally made it back to our AirBnB around 2am. It was our only super late night out, and we had a really good time. It definitely set the stage for an amazing five days.
Really like this photo related way to share in your wonderful trip. Such a fun way to taste different drinks….. and those tacos look fabulous.
THANK YOU!
Those droppers are such a fun idea. What an interesting concept for a bar.
