Five minutes from Polanco. A world away from the crowds.
Where to eat, what to do, how to live here — from a host who chose Anzures as home.
Anzures is the neighborhood most visitors to Mexico City never discover — and the one our 195+ guests say they remember most. This guide is everything I wish someone had given me when I first arrived: where to eat, how to navigate, what makes this corner of the city so special, and why we chose it as the home for Casa Caravana.

Polanco has the boutiques. La Condesa has the Instagram cafes. Roma has the rooftop bars. They're wonderful — and they're full of tourists. Anzures is where the people who actually live in Mexico City come home to — a quiet, residential neighborhood bordering Chapultepec Forest and just a 5-minute walk from Polanco. Tree-lined streets, Art Deco facades, corner bakeries, and the legendary Taquería Selene five minutes from our door.
This guide is for travelers who want to skip the tourist version of Mexico City and experience the real one. Where to eat, how to work remotely, what to do with kids, and why the best neighborhood in the city is the one that nobody's heard of — yet.
When we chose where to open Casa Caravana, everyone said Polanco or Condesa. We chose Anzures. Here's why — from the morning bakery ritual to the jacaranda-lined streets to the market where vendors know your name.
