The Best Place to Shop in Mexico City, Mexico

Background Illustration for Shopping

The areas with the highest concentrations of shops are Polanco, for upscale boutiques, luxury chains, modern furniture stores, and fine-art galleries; and the Zona Rosa, chock-full of clothing stores, adult shops, leather goods, and antiques.

La Condesa and La Roma, though better known for restaurants and cafés, are sprouting designer boutiques, primarily for a younger crowd and artsy types. Jewelers, shoe shops, vintage clothes, and hip housewares stores are squeezing in as well. Most cluster along avenidas Michoacán, Vicente Suárez, Amsterdam, and Tamaulipas, in Condesa, and Alvaro Obregón and thereabouts, in Roma.

Hundreds of shops with more modest trappings and better prices are spread along the length of Avenida Insurgentes and Avenida Juárez.

Tienda Orgánica

Although its size and appearance is the same as most small corner stores in the city, Tienda Orgánica specializes in organic and local foods such as kombucha, coffee, dairy products, and even local tobacco rolled with medicinal flowers. It’s a good spot to shop for delicious gifts to take home or, if you’re staying a while, to do some quality grocery shopping.
