Great mall that would give any high end mall in the US a run for its money. Very good stores and…read moregreat restaurant options (fast good and nicer sit down).

So get this. When I checked into my suite at Fiesta Americana's Live Aqua, I noticed my luggage…read morelock was missing. Finding nothing else missing from my luggage, I realized I only needed to replace the lock. When I asked the front desk staff on where to go, they pointed me to Fashion Drive. On my first day in Monterrey, I walked over to this huge mall, which sat across the street from Fiesta Americana. This mall is three stories high, and has just about everything that you would find at a mega-mall in the United States. The layout is U-shaped, and a nice long walk. Along the way, I chatted with some locals, and got some good tips on where to go. I also found the type of store I was looking for, which sold luggage and accessories. After buying what I needed, I went to eat at one of the restaurants attached to this mega mall. The eateries here are nice, upscale places. Details for these places will come in future reviews, so stay tuned. One I got done eating, I retraced my steps back to the main entrance facing my hotel. I stopped by a Starbucks location on the first floor before heading back to my suite. I sat down to enjoy my coffee, and took in the great atmosphere. Overall, I was impressed by this place. If you need to buy anything, and find yourself in Monterrey's San Pedro neighborhood, then this is the place to go. Check it out!

This is a shopping mall located in the 'uptown' part of the city. It has 3 floor with an elevator…read moreand an escalator. The food court is located on the second floor with more food places on the third floor. In one of the floor, there is an arcade and an anime store. There is a wide variety of store like makeup, clothes, souvenirs, technology and cellphone accessories, perfumes, jewelry, shoes, etc. There is a movie theatre on the third floor here and to me its kind of an odd location but hey people wanna watch a movie they have one right there. The bathrooms here are also located on the third floor and they charge like 5 pesos so just FYI. The mall does have a nice christmas display during the holidays and the best thing about this mall is the AC! No kidding, if you been to Monterrey you will quickly realize how hot, muggy and humid it gets. Having AC is great lol Another great thing is the location of this mall, it is located close to so many other great thing in 'uptown' well but technically this is on the south part of the city but the way it falls is just 'uptown' haha.

This is a nice indoor mall with a two level food court and a movie theater. I ate at El Carbonero…read morealmost everyday for lunch. Was about 60 pesos for a 4 tacos and had a side bar for onion, lime, and three types of hot sauce. Tried the carnes asada, trompo, and carnitas. All were great! Simple and good true Mexican food. Watched a movie too on the third floor. The seats recline and were well cushioned, about 60 pesos as well. The mall was busy and clean. I would have tried other places, but Carbonero was good and accepted credit card. This was within walking distance from the Crowne Plaza in downtown and is located at the beginning of a promenade Jose Maria Morelos. Kind of reminded me of 3rd street promenade in west L.A. This promenade leads you right into the Macroplaza too. Promenade stays busy until 11 PM.
