We are staying in Roma near the Centro Medico metro station. For the past two days, some sort of vehicle has driven around the neighborhood blasting this… message? I can’t see the vehicle to see if there are posters on it or anything. And my very limited Spanish can only pick up what I THINK is the word “sorry”?

Where are the tyres?

I flew out of Terminal 1 at AICM, Benito Juárez International airport today, June 1, 2026 and had a pair of earrings stolen out of my carry-on bag during the TSA vaggage screening process. It happened right in front of me and I didn't realize until I arrived at my destination.

TLDR: the female agent made continuous announcements about a dildo in my bag during the screening process to fluster her target (me) while she stole earrings from the bag and did enough normal security things to disguise her intent.

To save someone else, let me tell you the scheme. This took place at the Terminal 1 security checkpoint that is up the ramp and was done by a woman. When I arrived, there was almost no one there. The agent directing traffic sent me to a lane that was empty. My backpack goes through. The person running the scanner got up from her seat to swab my backpack, effectively stopping anyone else from coming through, but again, it's not busy. The machine sounds. She swabs it again and puts the swab through another machine. It's fine. Then she goes and checks the screen and comes back. "You have a dildo (pene in Spanish) in your bag." She just keeps repeating that loudly as she digs through my backpack, which is one that loads from the top so I can't see her hands from my angle. Admittedly, a design flaw. She pulls some stuff out and inspects it, but not everything. This goes on for a couple of minutes, the whole time she is making her dildo announcements. Finally, she pulls my battery powered toothbrush out and says, oh it must be this. At this point a bunch of my stuff is scattered across two bins. I pack everything up, frustrated because my stuff is everywhere over a toothbrush. It does not occur to me to check the stuff in my bag that she didn't pull out. Rookie mistake, and not one I will ever make again. In hindsight, I think she palmed them fairly early in the "inspection" process because they were inside a case inside an inside pocket of the bag, and then the rest was smoke and mirrors.

Edited for typo and to clarify the security checkpoint location.

Second edit. I know that TSA is an American term and is not the term for Mexican airport security, but for the sake of clarity about where the theft took place, I used a term that folks traveling through would know. Airport security, baggage screening, etc. can mean several things and I wanted to be specific.

Has anyone stayed at the hotel block suites in Roma Norte? Is the price too good to be true? Thanks!

Pues ya no veo salida amigos. Ayer me volvieron a asaltar junto con toda mi familia y otras 3 familias.

Estabamos en un restaurante...

En total me han asaltado

3 veces en camiones (transporte público)

1 vez en frente de mi casa

1 vez se metieron a mi casa

1 vez en la tienda (me robaron un auto)

Y la de ayer 1 (en un restaurante)

Se robaron mi celular y bajaron todo el dinero de mis cuentas bancarias ... marqué al banco pero me dijeron que no podían hacer nada porque era desde mi dispositivo y no había un acta levantada en el MP. Se robaron los ahorros de mi vida (aprox 900k mxn)

Con mi carro lo recuperaron pero los de OCRA me amedrentaron para no devolverlo

Ya estoy acostumbrado a tener seguros de robo pero... no veo salida y estoy entre comprar algo para defensa propia o largarme de México

Hi! Im traveling to mexico city this weekend. Im looking for any cool bikeshops that sell kit. Looking for some unique jerseys to take back as souvenir

Busco un mercado o tienda donde pueda encontrar carne de langosta ya cocida. Quiero preparar *lobster rolls* en casa.

Muchos mercados tienen colas de langosta crudas, lo cual podría terminar siendo la única opción.

Estoy ubicado en Roma Norte.

I don’t have a credit card. Can you check into hotels in Mexico City with a debit card?

Can I ask how much you were quoted for the transportation, balloon ride, breakfast and pyramid tour? Be as specific as possible! Also if you are overweight did they give you a special quote and for how much, also is flying pictures a reputable company?

Also 3 side questions- Are hats allowed on the balloon ride? And is there a gift shop somewhere, also what time did you return to CDMX?

Hola a todos,

Estoy buscando una buena fiesta para esta noche. Preferiblemente una discoteca o un bar con pista de baile donde pongan reggaeton.

He leído que «Departamento» podría ser un buen sitio.

¿Tenéis más ideas para una buena fiesta un martes por la noche?

Hola, for anyone traveling from Mexico with a pet eg service dog, don’t forget to get a screw worm certificate from a registered vet 5 days before entry to US. I flew with Delta and based on their site I thought I only needed the CDC and DOT forms - wrong! Ended up needing to make emergency calls from the airport (luckily I was there 3 hours before departure) and luckily found a vet who could create a certificate and deliver it in 20 mins. Cost me 2000 pesos (another vet quoted $3750). If anyone is in the same predicament I used the vet closest to terminal 2 (think it’s literally called airport veterinary). Stressful to say the least!

Hi guys! I’m trying to find padel groups/chats/communities in CDMX.

I tried Playtomic, but when I create a match, it’s very difficult to find players.

In Indonesia and the UAE, every club has daily or weekly mini-tournaments (Americano, Mixicano, King of the Court) and monthly tournaments with 100+ participants. There are also many WhatsApp and Telegram groups where people post matches and find players. Is there anything like this in Mexico?

I’m genuinely surprised that padel seems to be so unpopular in Mexico. I’ve played five times in CDMX, and the clubs were about 50% empty every time.

Playtomic level: ~3.3-3.6.

No creo, debe ser una coincidencia.

Solo no pueden proteger lo poco que nos queda de lago, y vida silvestre en Mexico City.

Please look at the restaurant below, it’s a block away from El Angel de independencia, and my hotel is one block away from it, I just wanted previous experiences and to know what I should expect to pay?

Hi!! My fiancé and I are planning to get married fall 2027. We have met sooo many wedding planners and are between The Romantic Co. (TRC) & Magaly Calderon. They both seem absolutely amazing. I feel like this is a pivotal moment and I’m just feeling super anxious on who to go with.

I would love to see if anyone else has had any experience with either one & what you thought♥️🙏

Hola, compré el ticket2ride para el concierto de Pulp, pero solo voy a utilizar el servicio de regreso, no de ida. La cosa es que como no usaré el servicio de ida, no podré saber en qué parte del Palacio saldrán los camiones, ya que eso al parecer lo establecen al momento del llegar al Palacio. ¿Alguien sabe de donde salen los camiones para el regreso normalmente? Yo busqué en Google y me aparecía que normalmente en la puerta 3 del Palacio pero no sé si esa info es correcta.

Film beginner - carried my half frame around on our trip earlier this month and got my film developed this week. We loved your city and so did my camera 🤍📷

Hello. We are an East Asian family of 5 adults (including my older parents) planning a trip from Mexico City this July.

We originally planned to rent a car for this route: CDMX -> Teotihuacán -> Cholula -> Las Estacas -> Taxco (Pozas Azules day trip) --> CDMX.

I have driven in other parts of Mexico before, so I understand general road conditions and basic travel risks. However, I’m reading concerning updates regarding recent cartel activity and highway security in Morelos and Guerrero.

My specific questions:

Has anyone been recently? How was it?

Is the road security from Cholula to Las Estacas, and Las Estacas to Taxco, too volatile for a self-drive rental right now?

I know getting to Pozas Azules from Taxco requires driving on smaller, winding local roads rather than major federal highways. Is it safe to take a rental car into these rural areas and leave it in the local parking lots, or does that expose us to too much cartel/crime risk?

Given the presence of my older parents, would a mix of first-class buses and private drivers be safer instead? Or is the region turbulent enough that we should postpone Taxco/Las Estacas for another year?

Looking for recent, specific safety insights rather than general travel advice. Thank you!

Seen today on Paseo de la Reforma.
