Meeting and pickup
We meet at Café Café in Roma Sur, because it’s an easy, safe, and very clear pickup point—plus you can use the restroom and grab a great coffee/breakfast before we head to Tláhuac. Just search on Google Maps Manzanillo 45 Roma Sur, and arrive 10–15 minutes early. Uber/DiDi is the simplest option.
