Description

El Cenote Azul, which literally means blue underground lagoon, is an oasis on the South Side of Mexico City close to the Metro Copilco and a two minute walk to the National University UNAM, the largest in Latin America. Our café, frequented by Mexican students provides a perfect opportunity to practice your Spanish in a relaxed atmosphere.

Just to the north is Coyoacan, known for its street theatre, artists, musicians and home to many historical sites and cultural centres, the most famous being Frida Kahlo's, Diego Rivera's and Leon Trotsky's houses. Coyoacan, with its many small bars, restaurants and theatres also has quite an active nightlife. You won't need to go downtown for the bright lights!

To the north-east lies colonial San Angel where the open air markets that line the cobbled streets sell a wide variety of traditional Mexican art.

To the South, Cuicuilco, the only circular pyramids and the floating gardens of Xochmilco bring our prehispanic ancestors closer.

We, the Ley Cooper family, have opened our home to travellers with the idea of facilitating interaction between locals and foreigners to enrich our community.

In our home, world music resounds, complementing our diverse and innovative menu, with recipes such as French crepes filled with Aztec huitlacoche mushrooms, Italian pastas topped with Mexican chorizo, and even cheese-stuffed chilli peppers in Asian mango sauce.
