We wandered in because I wanted to try an afternoon mezcal cocktail from Mundana after exploring the area for a day, and it was great. We had our cocktails and then wandered into a few stores - lots of cool places to check out. The building was beautifully restored - definitely a cool sight. And there are bathrooms - you just need the code from someone at one of the shops, restaurants, or bars! Definitely a cool place to spend some time if you're in the area! Kind of a quiet, cool (a little bit hidden) oasis just off the very busy Alameda Central!

The mall is also open air, so, while it's pretty, it can be quite hot to walk around.

The mall has three stories, with the eateries sitting on the top floor. All other floors have a great selection of clothing stores, shoe stores, accessories, beauty products, etc. My girlfriend and I have personally frequented Zara, Bershka, Pull & Bear, American Eagle, Dyson, Bath & Body Works, Sephora, and, of course, Starbucks. I find that the customer service and selection here is better than most malls back home. FYI, if you're travelling on a budget, this might not be the place for you, as you will find that the prices are higher here for some items than if you bought them in the US. It's interesting to note that mall culture in Latin America is alive and well, while most malls back home are hanging by a thread. But I digress. This mall provides a great shopping experience. The place is clean and safe, the other patrons are decent locals, and they have had just about anything that I needed every time I've come here.

Whether it be food, clothes, or electronics, this place has more variety than anyplace else. I've been to one other location to purchase clothing, and I actually just happened to come across this store by chance. I actually did need to replace a couple of t-shirts that got torn, so I came to see if they have something similar. Whilst they didn't have exact matches for the shirts I was looking for, they had several more that were kind of close. Really this place is so huge, you are bound to find what you are looking for.

Al lavarlas para usarlas, noté que se destiñeron y mostraron colores rosados en las fibras, lo que indica una calidad muy deficiente. Al reportar lo sucedido al día siguiente, 31 de diciembre de 2025, a Palacio de Hierro, no quisieron asumir la responsabilidad por el mal producto, argumentando que ya había sido lavado. Es importante mencionar que las batas nunca se utilizaron, por lo que considero que una devolución o intercambio sería lo más apropiado. Sin embargo, el centro de atención al cliente no supo ni quiso ayudarme en esta situación. Les aconsejo no adquirir NADA de la marca Calatea. Adjuto las fotos que muestran lo que supuestamente compré y lo que obtuve tras lavar el producto una sola vez.

I've also maintained an apartment just 1 block away for ten years, and before that I stayed at various hotels closeby for extended periods of time. I can remember the park before they completed a major renovation and it was quite different then. Back then there was an ugly restroom situated near the center of the park, and most of the fountains did not work. Also the sidewalks were crumbling and really bad. Since the renovation the place has drastically improved. There is less prostitution and it is more family oriented. To me this park feels like home.

I'm unsure of the parking situation here, as I usually get around in taxis and uber. And said transport can get you to either of the two entrances to this place. The inside of this plaza runs long, and has two stories. There are a variety of stores, to include an Office Max, a grocery store, a Cinnabon (with more variety than the one back home), several restaurants on the second floor, as well as a Starbucks, a pharmacy focused on dermatology, and one of my favorite barber shops in CDMX. The place is kept clean, safe, and it provides for an upscale shopping experience. FYI, if you are travelling on a budget, then Polanco is not for you. The only place I do not recommend here is the Sonora Grill. Check my review for that place for specifics. Miyana is a great place to shop. Come check it out.

It can be crowded, so come with a little patience and some cash. And enjoy! It's a special event. I highly recommend it for tourists visiting Mexico City.

We came when it was nearing closing time so not all the stalls were open, but there were still a good number of them waiting around for last minute customers.
