[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just visited CDMX. It’s very easy to get around via Ubers. For hotel, recommend Mondrian Condesa and ONTO Tonalá. [/quote]

While I think Mexico City is a great place to visit with kids, I would caution on using Uber Mexico.  I used Uber a few times in our Mexico trip (not just Mexico City) and I would say that only 50% of the time I had rides without a problematic incident, and that's not a good ratio.  A few times, I had drivers pick up and then say they wouldn't take me to the destination they accepted via the app unless I paid them double the fare the app cited and paid the driver in cash.   That may be difficult for you to navigate if you don't speak Spanish.  But more disturbingly, I had a driver threaten me via phone and via the Uber chat because the location where I had requested a pickup wasn't one where he could pick up at because of some tensions with registered taxicabs, and I told him I didn't feel comfortable walking 5 blocks to where he wanted me to go after dark with my 2 kids.

Even when I reported the incident, with screenshots of the Spanish swearwords the driver hurled at me via chat when I said i would cancel, I didn't get any response from Uber Mexico--they just refunded me the cancellation fee they had autocharged me without an apology or any indication they would discipline the driver.[/quote]
