A day of fiesta at Xochimilco and then out on the town exploring Mexico City nightlife.

For Leila’s birthday we put together what could be contested as the perfect night out in Mexico city.

Our first stop was for a drink at Limantour which was recently rated in the top 20 bars in the ENTIRE WORLD.

Despite it’s reputation the drinks were very reasonably priced around $10 USD, and well mine came en fuego and that doesn’t even cost extra.

It was incredibly important we made a reservation as we sat on the patio and watched people get turned away the entire time we were there.

Next stop was to Gin Gin – a super hip bar with multiple locations around the city. Gin Gin is a great place to impress a date in a quiet corner or flirt with Mexico City elite which is why, in hindsight I see why you would need a reservation here too! I guess I’m just not used to making a reservation for a cocktail.

If you’re in CDMX to hit all the trendy spots you can’t miss Rosa Negra in Polanco for dinner - you saw this location our first Mexico City video of this series. Tonight we were focused on food more than ambiance and headed to cozy Fonda Fina with chef Juan Cabrera, one of the contestants on top chef Mexico.

Never in the states would you be enjoying top chef entrees for under $15.

With full bellies and the warm glow of tequila we headed back to our hotel for a very unexpected surprise.
