2. 0:16Hi guys, welcome back to the channel.
3. 0:18It's been a while and we've actually
4. 0:19teleported to Mexico City, one of my
5. 0:22dream destinations [music] that I've
6. 0:23been wanting to go to for such a long
7. 0:25time. Now that I'm based out of
8. 0:26California again, Mexico City has been
9. 0:28on my list, and it's only a 3-hour
10. 0:30flight away. I'm somebody who really
11. 0:32[music] loves to travel for food. So, as
12. 0:34soon as I see something that's enticing
13. 0:35in another country, [music] I book a
14. 0:37trip around a restaurant or cafe that
15. 0:39I've been wanting to visit. So, welcome
16. 0:41to day one of the Mexico City Diaries.
17. 0:44We decided [music] to stay in the heart
18. 0:45of Roman Norte because it was so
19. 0:47accessible to all of the restaurants.
20. 0:49Since it was a quick trip, we [music]
21. 0:50did plan as we went. So, I'll share some
22. 0:52of my favorite spots with you at the end
23. 0:54of the video.
24. 0:55I just made it to Mexico City. We landed
25. 0:57about 2 hours ago. I checked into the
26. 1:00hotel and I just freshened up for a
27. 1:02little bit and did a little bit of
28. 1:03editing and now we're at the door and
29. 1:05I'm at this restaurant that I found
30. 1:06literally on the way to the hotel cuz I
31. 1:08was so starving. Don't judge me because
32. 1:10we're having Italian food right now. But
33. 1:11wait till you see the dishes because I'm
34. 1:13literally salivating at the idea of this
35. 1:15chicken parmesan. It's like melted
36. 1:17cheese and I want to say vodka and pesto
37. 1:19onto the fried chicken. And I just am
38. 1:22sleepy and I want something satiating
39. 1:24and that's going to hit. So, we're at
40. 1:26this restaurant with Bartoa.
41. 1:39>> Cheers.
42. 1:45This is I gave this like a eight. I
43. 1:47actually give this a nine. I have yet to
44. 1:49try this, but I feel like it's going to
45. 1:51be a nine as well. But this is honestly
46. 1:52so good. What do you think?
47. 1:54>> The chicken is so juicy.
48. 1:56>> So good. The lemon. It's actually
49. 1:57delicious. I usually don't like chicken
50. 1:59parm like this. It's fucking good. And
51. 2:01it's cheeselicious.
52. 2:03I need it to be cheeselicious to be
53. 2:05delish. Moving on to the rest of the
54. 2:07trip. I did a little bit of vintage
55. 2:08shopping [music] to see if I could find
56. 2:10any special pieces.
57. 2:12I'm really trying to decide how they
58. 2:14look, but having a little bit of
59. 2:16trouble.
60. 2:21>> I do [music] feel like vintage has to be
61. 2:22one of those situations where when you
62. 2:24see something, it's love at first sight.
63. 2:26I didn't quite have that [music]
64. 2:27connection this time, but there were
65. 2:29still such amazing pieces. All right,
66. 2:31just went to this store called Arin
67. 2:32Boufa. Oh, red. Everything's like really
68. 2:36expensive there. It was cute to browse.
69. 2:38did a little Google image search at the
70. 2:40same time to compare prices online and
71. 2:42they're selling these for three times
72. 2:44the price. So, this is some window
73. 2:46shopping. For [music] the rest of the
74. 2:47night, we walked around the neighborhood
75. 2:48and marked some of the spots we knew
76. 2:50we'd want to go back to. Super rare of
77. 2:52me, but I decided to opt out for an
78. 2:53early night. And I'm actually recording
79. 2:55this voice over in this exact [music]
80. 2:57video, but I did decide to sleep in
81. 2:59early so I could wake up and have a full
82. 3:00day for the very next morning.
83. 3:09>> [snorts]
84. 3:09>> Hi guys. I didn't get to catch you guys
85. 3:11up on last night, but I was so tired
86. 3:14because I barely slept the night before
87. 3:15my flight. Typical. I've been having
88. 3:17renovations in my home and I flew from
89. 3:19LA. So, my little brother helped me
90. 3:21figure out how to turn on the AC cuz
91. 3:22I've been living with no AC cuz I'm
92. 3:24stupid. And he turned on the switch for
93. 3:26me. So, there was finally AC. Usually at
94. 3:29night, I don't really get too hot
95. 3:30anyway. to turn on the AC. The wind blew
96. 3:33cuz they covered the floors [music] with
97. 3:34paper and masking tape cuz it's on auto.
98. 3:37When the AC would blow, it would blow
99. 3:39onto the paper. It would sound like
100. 3:41footsteps. So Maymay goes
101. 3:45at 5:00 in the morning. I literally get
102. 3:47no sleep. So I'm like, "Maybe STF you
103. 3:50come back to bed. Cuddle with me right
104. 3:52now. There's nobody there." Okay. So I
105. 3:54sleep about 2 hours and actually need to
106. 3:57charge my Aura ring. I'm super into my
107. 3:59[music] Aura ring. It's not the ring
108. 4:01that you think it is. It's for my
109. 4:03health. And I've been having really good
110. 4:05scores. I feel like 80 and above. I'm
111. 4:06fine with that. I usually get like a 30
112. 4:10when I don't sleep. So, I [music] need
113. 4:11to charge this up. Oh, shit. Hello. But
114. 4:16after dinner last night, just came to
115. 4:18the room and then I could barely keep my
116. 4:21eyes open. I edited like two videos. Not
117. 4:24very good of me. I should [music] be on
118. 4:26my grind a little bit more. After that,
119. 4:28I cacked the fuck out. Slept at like
120. 4:2911:30. Woke up at 8:00. It's a beautiful
121. 4:32day. I love waking up early. It's so
122. 4:35nice. If you're an early riser, I've
123. 4:36been missing now. Like, this shit is
124. 4:38nice. I just got ready and I'm going to
125. 4:40go down for breakfast. And also just
126. 4:42film a bit in this hotel cuz it's so
127. 4:44beautiful. Look at the robe. Look at the
128. 4:46slipper. [music] Hello. Look at the eye
129. 4:49mask. That's me.
130. 4:54>> Cheese. [music]
131. 4:57M
132. 4:58some people put the egg on the toast. I
133. 5:02like to dip the toast in the egg.
134. 5:07>> Getting hair done.
135. 5:08>> I think it looks so nice. I love it when
136. 5:10it's this color.
137. 5:11>> Yeah, I know you like it. That's why I
138. 5:12did it. The balayage is nice for summer,
139. 5:15but this is nice.
140. 5:16>> This is better fashion for sure.
141. 5:17>> This is more New York. Okay, guys.
142. 5:19[snorts] Update in the vlog. I'm
143. 5:21changed. I just filmed a bunch of fun
144. 5:23things. This is my outfit today. The
145. 5:26outfit is kindly gifted by with Jean.
146. 5:28And then this is my little Coach bag.
147. 5:30I'm actually filming a little Coach ad
148. 5:32right now and it matches my Rapettos
149. 5:35perfectly. So, we're doing this Tik Tok
150. 5:37trend and she's making me run in real
151. 5:41time. It's honestly hilarious. I'm like,
152. 5:44I ain't no Olympic runner. But let's
153. 5:46let's just see. This is like Let me just
154. 5:49show you guys cuz it's it's it's
155. 5:51humbling. [music]
156. 5:51>> Wait. Okay. Practice. Okay. Go. Oh,
157. 5:54that's really cute.
158. 5:58>> You're not even recording.
159. 5:59>> Yeah, I know. Practice. You're going to
160. 6:01run this way, though.
161. 6:02>> Okay. Why don't I just step the fuck out
162. 6:04and just step out there and then I'll
163. 6:06step [music] out.
164. 6:07>> And then how are you going to get to the
165. 6:08couch?
166. 6:08>> Or I'll just go like this.
167. 6:10>> And then how are you [music] the couch?
168. 6:13So, I have to go this way.
169. 6:14>> Yeah, you have to go that way.
170. 6:15>> So, I have to I do have the duck.
171. 6:16>> Yeah.
172. 6:16>> How the fuck do people do this? Okay. I
173. 6:18don't know.
174. 6:18>> Let's try again. Just record it. This
175. 6:20music's distracting me. And then when
176. 6:21you mouth, it distracts me. I I got
177. 6:23this. Ready? Go.
178. 6:28>> Can you see me?
179. 6:30>> Don't scare back yet.
180. 6:35>> Back.
181. 6:36>> You have to go
182. 6:37>> cardio and stamina combined. Okay. I
183. 6:39need a duck. I need a duck. I need to
184. 6:41duck. But I can't move while you're
185. 6:42panning. So, I [music] have to go a
186. 6:44little slower. Yeah. And I'll just 2x
187. 6:45it.
188. 6:48[music]
189. 6:54>> [music]
190. 6:59[music]
191. 7:02>> Okay, we're at a little coffee shop that
192. 7:05Justine recommended. She's actually been
193. 7:06here before, so she's kind of taking me
194. 7:08around. And the last time we met, you
195. 7:10guys didn't want to see that. It was
196. 7:11like really cringe and I just took
197. 7:12photos for the rest of the hour.
198. 7:14Honestly, sometimes like when I solo
199. 7:16travel, it's not that interesting
200. 7:18because I'm like locked in on my content
201. 7:22and my work. Of course, I like to
202. 7:24experience the trip, too. So, that's
203. 7:25when I'll put the camera down, but then
204. 7:27I forget to bring you guys. So, I don't
205. 7:28even know if you guys are interested
206. 7:29sometime in seeing how I shoot or how I
207. 7:32function, but let's just say it's really
208. 7:33type B, really chaotic, but the vision
209. 7:36always comes to life. I will say that
210. 7:38with the with the sass included, the
211. 7:40miso latte from this coffee shop is the
212. 7:42best. I just did a Tik Tok little taste
213. 7:44test. I actually drink a lot of things
214. 7:45unsweetened now, which is crazy. And I
215. 7:47don't like sweets that much.
216. 7:48>> That's why you didn't want the cookie.
217. 7:49>> Yeah. She was like, "Oh, do you want the
218. 7:50Biscoff cookie?" And I was like, "Not
219. 7:52really." [laughter]
220. 7:55>> But she wants it, so maybe we'll get it.
221. 7:57It depends on the scenario. I love a
222. 7:59shortbread cookie now. But this is
223. 8:00really cute. I honestly might try some
224. 8:02stuff on. I even feel like my style
225. 8:03changes so quickly like within the year.
226. 8:05Like I like really like elevated tops. I
227. 8:07feel like other things just make me feel
228. 8:09really young and too young. I don't like
229. 8:11feeling too young. That's the tea. Like
230. 8:13people think pushing 30 is a roast, but
231. 8:15I think it's a compliment
232. 8:18personally. Okay, this is a dress I try
233. 8:20on. It's a little too short, a little
234. 8:22too low. It just doesn't really fit in
235. 8:24the right places.
236. 8:26But the back's really pretty. I wish it
237. 8:28was a little bit longer. I love like a
238. 8:31midi moment, but it's just probably no.
239. 8:34I do want to take more dance classes in
240. 8:36LA, so I'm going to try these shorts.
241. 8:38They're like basketball shorts, but the
242. 8:39lace is so me. Okay, I'm trying the
243. 8:41scription shorts.
244. 8:43This is my least favorite color, but you
245. 8:45see how comfy this is. And I think this
246. 8:47would be so cute with the baggie tea and
247. 8:50then just with these and then just with
248. 8:52these flats, but I'm going to do a
249. 8:53yellow one.
250. 8:55[music]
251. 9:02[music]
252. 9:09Heat. Heat.
253. 9:12[music]
254. 9:18[music]
255. 9:22>> [music]
256. 9:26>> Okay, we're at a new spot. It's called
257. 9:28Maggie's. This is like a dessert
258. 9:29breakfast spot, but we ended up getting
259. 9:31a little torta and I wanted some
260. 9:34veggies. We got tomato and bara. I know
261. 9:36it's basic, but I think it's nice to
262. 9:38have a little veg. And yeah, little
263. 9:40outfit change. The dessert here looks
264. 9:42insane, but I feel like I've been eating
265. 9:44dessert non-stop.
266. 9:47And honestly, my LA friends make me
267. 9:49super healthy. So now I'm getting super
268. 9:51non-healthy.
269. 9:52[music]
270. 10:02[music]
271. 10:08[music]
272. 10:11A lot of spice. They love cheese here.
273. 10:13This is like pretty good. Just tomato
274. 10:15bar, which is really good. was good,
275. 10:16right?
276. 10:17>> Yeah.
277. 10:19>> Mhm.
278. 10:20>> After lunch, I actually came across the
279. 10:22cutest little furniture store. They had
280. 10:23so many pieces by local Latin designers.
281. 10:26[music]
282. 10:34[music]
283. 10:39>> [music]
284. 10:47[music]
285. 10:49>> Right next door to it is actually a cold
286. 10:51plunge in sauna that does a fee [music]
287. 10:53for $30 a day if you wanted to drop by.
288. 10:55I feel like the hole in the walls and
289. 10:56the hidden gems just always come about
290. 10:58from walking by or asking questions,
291. 11:01which is exactly how I found these two
292. 11:03spots.
293. 11:05>> [music]
294. 11:14[music]
295. 11:24>> It is getting into fall, but I picked
296. 11:26this in LA and like it could be cute
297. 11:29with capri or literally anything. It's
298. 11:32okay. Third meal of the day, which is
299. 11:35dinner time. We're going to get tacos.
300. 11:37Finally. I really just want an iced
301. 11:38cola. A crisp iced cola. Sounds delish.
302. 11:49>> Okay guys, we're at Renelco. We got two
303. 11:51chicheró and how many tacos? Two
304. 11:54chicheró. We didn't get We only got one
305. 11:56taco. Two. Two chicheró. Oh, chicheró
306. 11:59tacos. Oh, you're known for the pork. is
307. 12:02not chicheró.
308. 12:03>> Yeah.
309. 12:05>> Love chicheró. Chicheró is my middle
310. 12:08name. I love it with guacamole. If you
311. 12:09don't know what chicheró is, it's
312. 12:11basically fried pork fat.
313. 12:13Wait on yours. No, it's okay. You don't
314. 12:16want
315. 12:17to do like a green sauce.
316. 12:24These are so good.
317. 12:27We got another order and there's a huge
318. 12:28line. Then I think we talked to the
319. 12:30owner. They got cho maze and we did
320. 12:33pretty well in Spanish trying our best
321. 12:35and then he just gave it to us for free.
322. 12:38I was like I can pay right now. He said
323. 12:39don't worry about me. Lucky girl
324. 12:41syndrome. Lucky girl syndrome. Oh, I
325. 12:43don't know if I told you guys but we
326. 12:44also got our room upgrade for free.
327. 12:48Guys, this is what happens when you just
328. 12:50attract positive abundance. Okay, guys.
329. 12:53Round two. Gorgeous. There's pickled
330. 12:56onions and sauteed onions. Just exactly
331. 12:58what I like. These
332. 13:03are so addicting. I could do another
333. 13:04round. We're going to come back here
334. 13:05tomorrow.
335. 13:08[music]
336. 13:20We're at this place called Raku, which
337. 13:22is definitely Japanese. Oh my god, the
338. 13:26doctor responds here. I'm going to try
339. 13:28this iced flat white and then this iced
340. 13:30matcha. The matcha looks really good.
341. 13:32I'm going to do the matcha first.
342. 13:35This is the best matcha of the trip for
343. 13:37sure. If you're matcha fiend, I feel
344. 13:38like you would approve of this place. I
345. 13:40mean, I always get a double shot, but I
346. 13:42think I've had enough caffeine for
347. 13:43today. This is the iced flat white. And
348. 13:45I like that it's a little short because
349. 13:47I can't have too much coffee. But I've
350. 13:48been liking flat whites and cappuccinos
351. 13:50more than lattes because they're too
352. 13:51sugary. So, I loved that cold brew
353. 13:53earlier.
354. 13:55Really good.
355. 14:00You guys, second lunch. We're actually
356. 14:02This is the lunch of the day. We're
357. 14:03having tuna tostadas. Look how gorgeous
358. 14:05this is. I think this is my favorite cuz
359. 14:08I love raw fish. I love that they're so
360. 14:10onion heavy here. The lime are so good
361. 14:13with everything.
362. 14:15It's just gorgeous.
363. 14:18Shout out to Maurice. This is his
364. 14:19recommendation. So freaking good. The
365. 14:22last day was definitely my favorite
366. 14:23because we came across the store that
367. 14:25had the most beautiful plates. Now that
368. 14:27I've been hosting, I want to be really
369. 14:29intentional about what I put into my
370. 14:31home. [music] I decided to do a mix of
371. 14:33bowls and serving spoons, which kind of
372. 14:34reminded me of [music] Sabre in Paris,
373. 14:37just because I knew I'd be bringing back
374. 14:39a souvenir that I would keep forever
375. 14:41nearby. I also did some browsing at a
376. 14:43couple of other curated [music] stores.
377. 14:44I've been wanting to be really
378. 14:45intentional about what I bring back from
379. 14:47my travels, so I didn't end up getting
380. 14:49anything, but it helped me decide to
381. 14:51splurge on restaurants instead. If
382. 14:52you're in the area, [music] this wine
383. 14:54bar is such a cute spot to stop by. The
384. 14:56snacks were yummy, the vibes were good,
385. 14:58and let's just say it was the perfect
386. 14:59pregame before our final meal.
387. 15:03[music]
388. 15:09[music]
389. 15:13Hola. Hola
