On our way from Xochimilco back toward Chapultepec On our way from Xochimilco back toward Chapultepec Park and our next destination, we stopped for lunch at Centenario 107. It was a cute little restaurant with a brick Pizza oven and some great food. Options for the group lunch were Flank Steak Tacos, Chicken Enchiladas, or this AMAZING Portobello Burger. The sandwich had a Grilled Portobello Mushroom, Queso Panela, Tomato, Bell Peppers, Onion, and Arugula on an incredible homemade Nut Bread Bun. It was served with a side of Roasted Jalapeños and crispy Veggie Chips. Everything had rave reviews! Definitely on our list for a return trip to CDMX, as it's also right around the corner from the Frida Kahlo Museum! @gate1travel @centenario107 @visitmexico #portobelloburger #portobello #vegeterianfood #food #foodporn #CDMX #mexicocity #foodblog #foodbloggers #foodandtravelblog #foodandtravelbloggers #mushrooms #sandwich

Malachite and Gold This gallery at the Castillo d Malachite and Gold This gallery at the Castillo de Chapultepec was filled with incredible pieces of marcasite and gold. There were multiple urns that towered over six feet, and at one end a huge door filled the room.

Not only was Chapultepec Castle home to royalty bu Not only was Chapultepec Castle home to royalty but in later years it was also the home of Mexican Presidents beginning with Porfirio Díaz. Diaz commissioned the incredible stained glass hallway that encloses the second floor terraces. He wanted them to resemble the palaces and churches of Europe. The windows showcase a series of Greco-Roman goddesses. @chapultepeccdmx @castillodechapultepec.cdmx @museodehistoria #visitmexicocity #travelblog #travelbloggers #stainedglass #visitmexico #chapultepecpark #chapultepeccastle #bosquedechapultepéc #castillodechapultepèc #mexicocity #cdmx #ciudaddemexico

The Hotel Marquis Reforma was our home base for ou The Hotel Marquis Reforma was our home base for our time in Mexico City. We loved the A La Parilla restaurant. Most mornings it was where we had our breakfast. The buffet was amazing with lots of options. We also met up with some friends for our tour for a Super Bowl Party, and they celebrated Mark’s birthday too. We had a little nibble with our cocktails too. The Duck Egg Rolls were incredible. They were packed with plenty of moist flavorful Duck meat. And They Thai Lamb Skewers were out of this world. Made with ground Lamb they packed the meat with flavor and the Spicy Peanut Sauce complimented it really well. #hotelmarquisreforma #alaparilla #mexicocity #mexicocity #cdmx #cdmxfood #gate1travel #foodandtravel #foodandtravelblog #foodandtravelbloggers #duckeggrolls #lambkabob @gate1travel @marquisreforma
We began our journey across Southeast and Central We began our journey across Southeast and Central Mexico in CDMX. Otherwise known as Mexico City! We spent several nights at the Hotel Marquis Reforma. The hotel was comfortable, the staff was friendly and it was in a wonderful neighborhood to explore before out Gate 1 Travel tour began. The room as a bit small, especially in comparison to the HUGE bathroom. But it was a nice getaway in the heart of Mexico City. #mexicocity #cdmx #paseoreforma #hotelmarquisreforma #gate1travel #discoverysmallgroups #hotel #mexico #méxico #foodandtravelblog #foodandtravelblogger #over60travel #over60travelblogger #mexicocityhotels
We always arrive for group tours at least one day We always arrive for group tours at least one day early. Flight cancellations aside we like a day to chill and explore on our own. Our first day in Mexico City we explored Chapultepec Park - and we’re glad we did! 3 times larger than Central Park it’s a incredible place explore, eat great street food and people watch. Chapultepec comes from the words Chapulín or grasshopper and pec or hill. #mexicocity #chapultepec #chapulines #chapultepeccastle #bosquechapultepec #exploringmexico #mexicanexperience #expatslife #lgbtqtravelers #travel #travelblogger #foodandtravel #foodandtravelblogger
Indian food in Mexico City! We began our trip acr Indian food in Mexico City! We began our trip across Central and South Eastern Mexico in Mexico City. Mark contacted his good friend and fellow Master Wedding Planner, Camelu, to meet for dinner. A Mexico City native, she and her husband were the perfect hosts. Since we can not find good Indian food in Merida, they were kind enough to take us to dinner and an incredible Indian restaurant in Polanco. Indian Paradise was fantastic. We shared some Vegetable Pakora, Vegetable Samosa, Mutton Rogan Josh, Palak Paneer (Chuck’s favorite), Chicken Vindaloo, Aloo Gobi, and lots of delicious Naan. Everything was as tasty and well prepared as any we’ve had anywhere in the world, including India! #cdmx #mexicocity #méxicocity #polancocdmx #cdmxrestaurants #indianfood #food #foodies #foodiesofinstagram #foodblog #foodandtravelblog #visitcdmx #expatsinmexico #meridaexpats

We LOVE Gate 1 Travel and this 13-Day Discovery tour focused on Mayan and Aztec civilization and was incredible. Yes, you are correct you see Merida on the map. We got to play host to some of our new friends. Great images and blogs on this trip across Mexico to follow! #gate1 #gate1travel #mexico #mexicolindo #CDMX #Puebla #Veracruz #Palenque #Campeche #Merida #chichenitza #cancun #travel #travelblog #travelbloggers
