The experience
We rolled into Teotihuacan just after sunrise, still rubbing sleep from our eyes. The city was waking up slow. You could smell wood smoke and tortillas somewhere nearby. Our guide, Alejandra, grinned as she led us straight past the crowds to this cave-restaurant I’d never have found alone. It was cool and echoey inside, with little candles flickering on the stone walls. Coffee tasted different down there, earthier maybe? Or maybe that’s just me being dramatic before caffeine. I tried chilaquiles for the first time and honestly, I’m still thinking about that salsa.
Alejandro (he ran the van) joked with the cooks while we ate. He said he grew up around here and pointed out a spot where his grandma used to sell tamales. After breakfast we stopped at an artists’ co-op, where they showed us how maguey gets turned into pulque and thread. There was this one woman who let me try grinding obsidian (harder than it looks). We tasted mezcal and tequila: tiny sips but enough to feel warm in my chest. Li laughed when I tried to say “pulque” in Spanish. Probably butchered it.
The pyramids themselves felt unreal up close. Our guide explained all these stories about the murals and why the Pyramid of the Sun lines up with certain stars: stuff I’d never have noticed on my own. Climbing up the Pyramid of the Moon left me breathless (not just from the stairs), but looking out over that whole ancient city… yeah, it sticks with you. There were families picnicking in patches of shade, vendors calling out quietly, bits of flute music drifting by.
Last stop was a cacao workshop tucked away behind some trees. We got to grind beans and make our own chocolate discs. The smell reminded me of childhood somehow. After everything, we piled back into the van for CDMX, shoes dusty and heads full of stories. I kept thinking about those first moments in the cave: how old stone can feel so alive when you’re sharing food underground.
