How to make friends in Mexico City as a newcomer or visitor
Mexico City is warm, loud and built around food and plazas. People are famously welcoming to newcomers.
Top 3 things to do — and how to turn them into plans
- 1
Sunday in Chapultepec
The huge park fills with families, performers and snack stands. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
- 2
Taco crawl in Roma Norte
Al pastor at midnight is a bonding ritual. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.

Coyoacán plaza evening
Churros, street music and the city's prettiest squares. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
Sidecar is for locals meeting locals, travellers meeting locals, and fellow travellers meeting each other. Friends only.
Eat together
Tacos at a street stand or a long comida corrida lunch are the natural first plan. Food is how the city bonds.
Use the parks and plazas
Chapultepec on a Sunday, or an evening in Coyoacán's plazas with churros, are classic group outings.
Follow your interests
Lucha libre nights, markets, mezcal tastings and the huge museum scene all make easy activity-first plans.
