If you love seafood, this fish taco spot is just 2 blocks from Casa Gubidxa! Although the menu is limited to shrimp, marlin, and fried fish, it is all delicious. With a buffet-style assortment of salsas and toppings, the tacos are delicious. Be aware however, lines often form outside and the place shuts down by around 4-5pm every day!

Although at least a 10-15 minute walk from Casa Gubidxa, this taqueria specializes is comida norteña (food from the north of Mexico). All of the cuts of meat are purveyed from Monterrey and the limited menu offers delicious chicharron tacos as well as wonderfully-seasoned pastor (or trompo as they call it). You should also try the frijoles charros (cowboy beans)! And refresh yourself with an agua de jamaica (hibiscus)! Open late-night, just be aware that it is very popular and there may be a line!

Part of a taco franchise, this place is a favorite with tourists and foreigners. As much as we like to recommend more humble locations, this place is essential for taco-lovers (especially al pastor!). To be honest, everything on the menu is excellent. We personally love the jugo de carne (beef broth)! There are multiple locations around the city and it is open late night.

If you are a fan of mixology and all things gin (well beyond simply gin & tonic), this is the place to go! Located about 15 minutes walking distance from Casa Gubidxa, this amazing bar elevates cocktails to another level. Salud!

Sightseeing

One of the most iconic parks in Mexico City, it is located no more than five minutes from Casa Gubidxa. If you have ever watched Spanish telenovelas, then you will probably recognize this park! A beautiful space to enjoy a walk--similar to NY's Central Park, there is a pond (with ducks), many fountains, wonderfully-maintained gardens, a playground, and a dog park. It is a very pretty getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city!
