Great video guys, there are other huge places you can visit here in Monterrey the next time you decide to visit this city, like these places: -Chipinque: It Is a big protected area in the mountain where you can walk, ride bicycles or just enjoy the gorgeous views of the city -Cola de caballo: It's a waterfall and you can do some activities like ride a horse, jump from a bungee, or eat and buy typical things from the region. -San Pedro Garza García: It's the richest city in México and latin america, you will enjoy the buildings, malls, the big houses and beautiful parks that are very similar to the parks you can find in Canada, It Is also the safest city in México -Bioparque estrella: it is a big zoo where the animals are free and you get into a bus so they can take you to see the animals in their natural habitat. -Santiago: It Is a magic and old town with a lot of colorful houses and its environment is full of green mountains, there Is also a large lake where u can rent a sailboat, eat fish, or just enjoy the great views. There are more beautiful places like mirador del obispado or grutas de García, thank you for visit and show our city to your country and to the world. I send y'all my best vibes and wishes from Monterrey, México. cya! 😊
These are some amazing suggestions, thank you! Going to pin this comment to the top for those who are planning a trip to Monterrey, and so we can find this comment again easily when we come back to the area! Salud!
PRIVIET!!! OCHI CRAKASIVA SPACIVA!!!! DA MÉXICO AND MEXICAN PPL WE ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND HOSPITALITHY PPL. AND YES MÉXICAN FOOD ARE HUMANNITY HERITAGE TITLE FROM UNNESCO. YOU AND ALL PÑL ARE VERY WELCOMING TO MÉXICO. PAKA PAKA. VIVA MÉXICO!!!!!! 🌹
We honestly didn't either! It was so cool getting to know such a large city that's so close to the USA border for the first time. Cheers guys, thanks for watching! You guys are based in North Carolina? :)
Baby Goat ( Cabrito ) , you eat it with Tortillas ( Tacos ) and you add more salsa to the Taco. I love Baby Goat ( Cabrito), i can eat it every day. Its Flavor is amazing, never get tired of it, i live here in Monterrey btw, i have lived here all my life except two years in Dallas Texas five years ago. Love my city, i had to get back. Excellent work.
Wow! We were wondering if people ate it everyday. I bet it would grow on us if we lived there. It's such a fantastic city, we can't wait to spend more time there and explore more, and of course eat more there! :D Cheers friend!
You guys do such great videos. You're my favorite expat vloggers. My late father-in-law is from Monterrey and watching this made me really miss him. He loved his hometown and he would have loved this video.
Thank you! :) We really loved our visit to his hometown and are looking forward to returning in the future. That is awesome, best wishes to you and your family.
Again you did your homework, excellent info! The cabrita restaurant was cool. $3000 mxn for one goat? Seems a lot. Looks like a really clean city. Las Monjitas translates to The Nuns. The Monks is Los Monjes :) That Hummer was CRAZY!!! Great little apartment. Monterrey is on my list of places to see. Great video guys! - Anne
you are so right about the cabrito, it is definitely something we only eat every once in a. long while, you got all your facts straight!!!! I really appreciate that!! I just discovered this channel and I'm loving it, love from Monterrey
Thanks for the tour of Monterrey and the background info. The mural comprised of 300 houses is stunning. We also loved the elephant sculpture from rubbish, it reminded us a little of a roadrunner sculpture in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Are there any/many bog standard street taco stands selling cabrito tacos? Monterrey is definitely on our radar.
There are not street stand with kid goat tacos. But the best kid goat tacos are in restaurant El Jonuco near from airport in Apodaca Nuevo León. Also el Jonuco has excellent regional cuisine. Americans and Asian citizens that work in the industrial parks from Apodaca visit that restaurant. Best kid goat ? el Gran Pastor (with more tradition ). Restaurant Las Monjitas mmm well as citizen from Monterrey is not a restaurant that I could recommend. There are better options in the city.
@@mtyliving Thank you very much for getting back to us and telling us about some other restaurants. We were surprised to hear you say there really aren't any street stands with kid goat tacos, but that is good to know. Although we really were hoping for street stands. We've checked out the restaurants that you recommended and the food looks fantastic. We also see that Mercado Hidalgo sells cabrito and machito. What do you think of the cabrito from the mercado? Which restaurants in Monterrey city do you recommend for cabrito? Thanks again for your response to us.
Thanks for your video,you guys do an amazing job explaining every details your experiences I learn something every place you visit,Keep up the good work. From San Francisco CA
OOO PRETTY BIRD! And the kids watching you fly was just PRECIOUS! YAY FOOD after all that walking!!! Such a beautiful place too! OMGGG BABY Goats. It's definitely a unique experience. It's good you got to try something LOCAL. and 15 MINTS! Cus you KNOW already. So nice that they guy brought you in and was so nice with the introduction. Very proud for sure! Your videos are always so comprehensive. I feel like I'm watching a chiller version of National Geographic!
The views are incredible, the mountains do look like Hawaii. The park is incredible, interesting that so many multinational corporations are based there. Baby goat head on the menu 😬. Toffee nut Frappuccino 😋, loved the decor in the cafe. Pedestrian only street 😯 that’s such a great idea that you don’t see often enough. Buddy juggling the basket balls in the street like it ain’t no thing 😆. Great first impression guys, your channel is such a great reference for anyone to check out before going to Mexico. Hope you guys are doing well 👍🏻
I plan to visit Monterrey next time The Warning plays a concert there, because I want to experience one of their shows among their hometown crowd, as well as check out some of the ladies' favorite eateries. Thanks for the tour of the city!
You guys are doing an amazing job on this platform. Always look forward to your new episodes!!! The buildings there are so big and well decorated. The Palace Museum looks pretty dope. No mountains here in IL so seeing this is pretty cool. I really need to start using AirBNB. Pretty sweet room you have!!! Thanks for taking us around.
Thank you for coming to Monterey guys I'm glad you liked it even though is not the typical colonial city, I guess you missed San Pedro Wich is the richest county in Mexico and is part of Greater Monterrey, or Monterrey Metro área, but I understand as Americans I wouldn't have been that attractive since it is just skyscrapers and malls, though is kind of unique for Mexicans standards.
It is a beautiful city and we are actually planning to come back in the future and explore more. We actually do like to see as many sides to a city as possible to have a better and more well rounded understanding and knowledge of it, so we'll go to San Pedro next time for sure! :) Cheers!
You'll were in the most dangerous hood in the city (la campana). It's good to see travelers going to mexico and experiencing our culture. Grutas de bustamante it's a place you'll can visit.
Thank you for showing the best of my hometown, you have shown me what I miss seeing when I visit my family. Most of the time I just stay at home. Las Monjitas translates better as (the little nuns)
Hi! Guys I hope you're doing well! I remembered the first time that I watched this video and I gotta watch it again!! Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico!!
Holy cow, that mural was insane. I wonder how long it took them to do it!!! So pretty!!! How much longer are you guys planning on staying in Mexico!!! Have loved following your adventures in Mexico!!! I'm really discovering so many new places that was not on my radar. I like how you guys do a walking vlog as you describe the whole place. Oh man, I won't show my wife this part with the baby goat, she would cry.
That bird mural on the houses is amazing! I think I will pass on eating baby goats though. Your AirBnB looks like a nic homebase while you are in the area. Monterrey looks awesome!
As a local I haven't eaten cabrito that many times, I don't understand why it is considered a local dish, we're more used to do carne asada (barbecue), next time you're in Monterrey, hit me up and I'll be happy to host a traditional carne asada for you guys, my grill is in the 4th floor with views to fundidora, cerro de la silla, cerro de la M, BBVA stadium, etc.
Awwee love this video! If y'all are ever in the area again try to visit my hometown Allende, Nuevo Leon! Which is an hour away but they have the Best food in Mexico. In my opinion 😋 oh and by the way on the way y'all can stop by to check out La Cola De Caballo which is a gorgeous waterfall.
Hey guys ! Looks like the temps are great for 6 months, then HOT for 6 months ? Nice city ! We were targeting our retirement in San Cristobal for 2 years n 8 months, my 62nd birthday…but our youngest daughter is 95% finished with her new house outside of Queretaro and she suggested we go live there until we start collecting social security. We don’t know how soon we’ll be going yet, still working out lots of details but 1 year n 8 months at the latest. Hope to meet yall in the future !
Yeah, that sounds right. We've heard it can get super hot there. That is awesome, huge congrats to you. So cool that your daughter lives in Queretaro. We've heard great things about it there. Actually briefly visited/past through but decided not to stay, because we would only have 2 days to explore and felt it needed more time than that so we spent the extra time in another city. Good luck with all the planning, it's tough but so worth it! Let us know when you guys are in Queretaro or San Cristobal, we would love to meet up! We love reading your comments and it'll be great to meet up with some fellow Carolinians in Mexico. :) Cheers!
The name is actually translated to nuns. That mountain is called “Cerro de la silla” that translate to a “Hill of the Chair” because it looks like a horse saddle. You missed so much from Monterrey. You should visit San Pedro, Las Grutas de García, La cola de caballo, Chipinque, El obispado, el estadio Monterrey and tons of other things…
Keep the suggestions coming! That just means we have to go back to Monterrey soon. We are actually hoping to spend some weeks there in the next few months.
Yes, incredible! However, most of us in South Texas who used to go for one reason or another, began to realize about 2010 that we have to go through a sliver of Tamaulipas, the most dangerous State in Mexico to get there. I used to go a lot for business purposes in the 70's and 80's. Wonderful people! Looks like they are getting it together! By the way the mountain is called "Saddle Back Mountain."
to star all those, people who live there in that area of monterrey , they are people from southern mexico who arrive in extreme poverty from cities like , oxaca , chiapas, guerrero, tabasco and they are forming their own neighborhoods
Yall should climb up to el Teleférico that's in el cerro de la silla the history behind that Terrance was that it was a platform for a cable car to take people up the mountain to hike but on its inauguration day a cable cart fell and they never bothered to bring it back so now the platform has an amazing view of the whole city
Indeed, Monterrey in comparison to other mexican cities such as Guadalajara, Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato and etc, it doesn't have a colonial or at least prehispanic backstory, Monterrey is an industrial city since its foundation back in september 20, 1596. Many of the great industries and corporatives of Mexico began here such as Coca Cola-FEMSA (Oxxo), Vitro, Grupo Alfa, CEMEX, etc. So, yeah, it's a modern/urban city 100%, 'cause it doesn't have prehispanic or indigenous architecture, btw, by now is the 2nd most important and 2nd most populated city in Mexico and also, the richest and most expensive one in whole Latin America (since 2019). Fact: Monterrey has jewish roots too.🇮🇱
@@cloudmgv8130 Exactly, the jewish people who came here cannot find lambs to make their sacrifices, that's why they started to sacrifce cabritos to continue the tradition, that's why we eat cabrito. 🇮🇱
We’re not there anymore but would like to head back before long. Awesome guys, looking forward to checking out your videos from there! Would love to cross paths sometime in the near future! Safe travels.
@@laurenandseth We were hoping y'all were still there to meet up! We spent two weeks catching up with family and ended up getting one vlog. So we definitely will be back! Saludos we hope all is well.
Very brave to get that close to La Campana. By the way, there's no need to roll the double R in Monterrey unless speaking Spanish. Everyone in the city who speaks English just pronounce it Monerey, as American English speakers do. In Las Monjitas they are "nuns", not "monks".
Thanks for the tip! Yes, quite a few people have mentioned La Campana and we didn't know much about the neighborhood before visiting. We had an awesome experience though and the locals were friendly 😊
3:33 Fundidora Park is where the First Steel Company was created in all Latin America and due to Government start to take car of it... Fundidora went to bankruptcy.
San Pedro isn't whole Monterrey city (just a small piece). Come to Guadalajara nothing compares. Food, great Weather and nice close places & beautiful Beaches..
Great video guys! the city was founded before 1596, My very great grandfather's uncle founded the whole area, his name was Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva, he was a Sephardic Jew that converted. He came to the area at least 10-15 years before that.
My wife is from MTY. It is one of my favorite places to visit in the world. Beautiful city with kind people...and the food is ridiculous. It's nice having family there. I will always have an excuse to visit.
If you go about an hour drive to the south,southwest you’d hit Montreal/monclova, Coahuila they actually get snow covered mountains every winter and has spruce, forest and several other pine tree species. They hit heights of 12,000ft .
Great video. I'm thinking of moving to Monterrey from Merida and your 2 videos were the most helpful I've watched! Hey, what's the info on that Air B&B apt?
Hi. Nice video. I would like to comment that us Mexicans are fond of making jokes abut the people of MTY because of their tendency to imitate their Texan neighbors. The people from other regions of Mexico call regios "the Texans of the south" and we also claim that MTY is the most southern neighborhood of San Antonio, TX. For regios, the perfect weekend includes doing some shopping at Laredo, TX and having a barbecue in their backyards. You won't find much culture or ancient ruins in MTY, but there are 3 very cool museums by the Paseo Santa Lucía which are worth the visit. They focus on art and history of Northern Mexico.
I can see that now that you mention it! :D Pretty cool because we've always said if we ever move back to the US, it's got to be San Antonio, Texas because of the Mexican culture and close proximity to Mexico! That sounds like a good weekend to us too. :) Thanks for the suggestions on the museums, we'll check them out when we're in town next!
@@laurenandseth Daniel 72 doesn't know anything about the culture in Monterrey, he's lying. In fact, he does not have studies in culture, like the majority of Mexicans, and that is why he does not understand the phenomenon of border cultures and falls into excess of saying that we imitate Texans. Texas and the Mexican Northeast have been a cultural unit since the Foundation, within which there was trade and population exchange since the seventeenth century. Good video!
Looks like a cool city .Yes I've heard there are many high tech companies in Monterrey Mexico ,many American companies are there and move there from the USA.It's a very modern city .This city is too modern for my taste ,I Prefer old colonial cities over modern cities .Colonial cities are beautiful and full of history .
Nope. Most of the headquarters of American companies are in Mexico city. In fact most of these headquarters are the Latin American headquarters. These offices run their all Latin America operations from Mexico city. Although Monterrey is relative modern, it doesn't compare to the modernity of Mexico city's new business district Santa Fe where you find the headquarters of Microsoft, Best Buy, Huawei, Ford, Sony, Movistar (Telefónica), Microsoft, Televisa, Roche, PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Company, McDonald's, Amazon, Apple Inc, group Bimbo to name a few. The reason there are not many foreign people living in Monterrey is that after a few weeks Monterrey becomes too boring.
@@fourthdeconstruction places like Guadalajara and Queretaro and San pedro Garza Garcia have more foreign investment than Monterrey even tho san pedro Garza garcia is in the Monterrey metropolitan area
Great video guys, there are other huge places you can visit here in Monterrey the next time you decide to visit this city, like these places:
-Chipinque: It Is a big protected area in the mountain where you can walk, ride bicycles or just enjoy the gorgeous views of the city
-Cola de caballo: It's a waterfall and you can do some activities like ride a horse, jump from a bungee, or eat and buy typical things from the region.
-San Pedro Garza García: It's the richest city in México and latin america, you will enjoy the buildings, malls, the big houses and beautiful parks that are very similar to the parks you can find in Canada, It Is also the safest city in México
-Bioparque estrella: it is a big zoo where the animals are free and you get into a bus so they can take you to see the animals in their natural habitat.
-Santiago: It Is a magic and old town with a lot of colorful houses and its environment is full of green mountains, there Is also a large lake where u can rent a sailboat, eat fish, or just enjoy the great views.

Didn't know anything about Monterrey before this video. Beautiful city. Love those mountains in the background. Thanks for showing it to us.

I'm from Monterrey and you made me appreciate my city a little more
Awesome! We love Monterrey! :)
Sonia, eres dichosa de estar ahi.
Baby Goat ( Cabrito ) , you eat it with Tortillas ( Tacos ) and you add more salsa to the Taco.

I can't wait to visit Monterrey, I'm an architect in Seattle and have been fascinated by the latest towers they've been building down South.
Cheers!
Awesome! We used to live in Seattle actually. Amazing city. You’ll love it down there. Cheers amigo!
Nice tour in Monterrey, Mexico. Thanks my friend. Have a nice day
Looks amazing, great video and your facial expression when you were trying the baby goat was priceless.

It's an expensive dish indeed , and it the place to go to. It's a famous place $$$.
Monterrey and its Metropolitan area is like another Country inside Mexico.

You should visit San Pedro, Las Grutas de García, La cola de caballo, Chipinque, El obispado, el estadio Monterrey and tons of other things…
Keep the suggestions coming! That just means we have to go back to Monterrey soon. We are actually hoping to spend some weeks there in the next few months.
Well it actually refers to a saddle because its form, translation would be " Hill of the saddle" instead, a better word in spanish would be "montura"
Love it!!!
Yes, incredible! However, most of us in South Texas who used to go for one reason or another, began to realize about 2010 that we have to go through a sliver of Tamaulipas, the most dangerous State in Mexico to get there. I used to go a lot for business purposes in the 70's and 80's. Wonderful people! Looks like they are getting it together! By the way the mountain is called "Saddle Back Mountain."

Thank you for Visitar my Ciudad Ermosa q yo no puedo Hyr la mejor de Mexico aprovechen de las Comidas bonita pareja
Gracias amigo 😊 amamos tu ciudad!
I go to Monterrey every time like 7 times in year and it’s our fav city
Also you should go to San Pedro it’s the wealthiest part of the city:)
Awesome, thank you! It is a beautiful city!
And the wealthiest in Latin America
That mountain is the icon of Monterrey and it's called Cerro de la Silla which translates to saddle mountain...guess why? : )
I'll be there in a week lol.
Nice! Have fun 🤩
to star all those, people who live there in that area of monterrey , they are people from southern mexico who arrive in extreme poverty from cities like , oxaca , chiapas, guerrero, tabasco and they are forming their own neighborhoods
Yall should climb up to el Teleférico that's in el cerro de la silla the history behind that Terrance was that it was a platform for a cable car to take people up the mountain to hike but on its inauguration day a cable cart fell and they never bothered to bring it back so now the platform has an amazing view of the whole city
That is so cool! Had no clue that was there, going to check it out for sure when we’re back in the city. Thanks!
Life is Beautiful
It really is, isn't it? :)
Nice to meet you
mucho gusto! 👊
Liked video. 👍 🇲🇽
Awesome thank you!
Indeed, Monterrey in comparison to other mexican cities such as Guadalajara, Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato and etc, it doesn't have a colonial or at least prehispanic backstory, Monterrey is an industrial city since its foundation back in september 20, 1596. Many of the great industries and corporatives of Mexico began here such as Coca Cola-FEMSA (Oxxo), Vitro, Grupo Alfa, CEMEX, etc. So, yeah, it's a modern/urban city 100%, 'cause it doesn't have prehispanic or indigenous architecture, btw, by now is the 2nd most important and 2nd most populated city in Mexico and also, the richest and most expensive one in whole Latin America (since 2019).
Fact: Monterrey has jewish roots too.🇮🇱
Monterrey and its Metropolitan area is like another Country inside Mexico.
👏👏👏👏
Is that why we eat cabrito? Because of the Jewish roots?
@@cloudmgv8130 Exactly, the jewish people who came here cannot find lambs to make their sacrifices, that's why they started to sacrifce cabritos to continue the tradition, that's why we eat cabrito. 🇮🇱
@@lediffzitro7902 True.
Great sharing nice video big like 👍 stay connected dear friend thank you so much for sharing
Monterrey is my city.
Visiten san pedro que es la ciudad mas cara de toda latinoamerica no solo de mexico yo fui a monterrey y pura diversion con el ecoturismo :)
The mountain is call a saddle ( horse saddle )
Hey guys! Checking out your video as a resource. We’re heading there soon are you guys still there?
We’re not there anymore but would like to head back before long. Awesome guys, looking forward to checking out your videos from there! Would love to cross paths sometime in the near future! Safe travels.
@@laurenandseth We were hoping y'all were still there to meet up! We spent two weeks catching up with family and ended up getting one vlog. So we definitely will be back! Saludos we hope all is well.
Yes, that's true, we use to eat cabrito only for special occasions at least in my family
Good to know! :)
Very brave to get that close to La Campana.
By the way, there's no need to roll the double R in Monterrey unless speaking Spanish. Everyone in the city who speaks English just pronounce it Monerey, as American English speakers do.
In Las Monjitas they are "nuns", not "monks".
Thanks for the tip! Yes, quite a few people have mentioned La Campana and we didn't know much about the neighborhood before visiting. We had an awesome experience though and the locals were friendly 😊
Wow you just stand up on my barrio 👍👍
3:33 Fundidora Park is where the First Steel Company was created in all Latin America and due to Government start to take car of it... Fundidora went to bankruptcy.
Appreciate the interpretation and history about Fundidora! Very interesting. :) Cheers friend
San Pedro isn't whole Monterrey city (just a small piece). Come to Guadalajara nothing compares. Food, great Weather and nice close places & beautiful Beaches..
Great video guys! the city was founded before 1596, My very great grandfather's uncle founded the whole area, his name was Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva, he was a Sephardic Jew that converted. He came to the area at least 10-15 years before that.
Very cool and interesting. Thank you for sharing!
My wife is from MTY. It is one of my favorite places to visit in the world. Beautiful city with kind people...and the food is ridiculous. It's nice having family there. I will always have an excuse to visit.
Where would you say you could find the most "ridicolous" food? (I need to take my wife to that place! 😅 )
If you go about an hour drive to the south,southwest you’d hit Montreal/monclova, Coahuila they actually get snow covered mountains every winter and has spruce, forest and several other pine tree species. They hit heights of 12,000ft .
Great video. I'm thinking of moving to Monterrey from Merida and your 2 videos were the most helpful I've watched! Hey, what's the info on that Air B&B apt?
México city
I've never tried Goat meat before!
Nice
Thank you! 😊
Hi. Nice video. I would like to comment that us Mexicans are fond of making jokes abut the people of MTY because of their tendency to imitate their Texan neighbors. The people from other regions of Mexico call regios "the Texans of the south" and we also claim that MTY is the most southern neighborhood of San Antonio, TX. For regios, the perfect weekend includes doing some shopping at Laredo, TX and having a barbecue in their backyards.
You won't find much culture or ancient ruins in MTY, but there are 3 very cool museums by the Paseo Santa Lucía which are worth the visit. They focus on art and history of Northern Mexico.
I can see that now that you mention it! :D Pretty cool because we've always said if we ever move back to the US, it's got to be San Antonio, Texas because of the Mexican culture and close proximity to Mexico! That sounds like a good weekend to us too. :)
Thanks for the suggestions on the museums, we'll check them out when we're in town next!
@@laurenandseth Daniel 72 doesn't know anything about the culture in Monterrey, he's lying. In fact, he does not have studies in culture, like the majority of Mexicans, and that is why he does not understand the phenomenon of border cultures and falls into excess of saying that we imitate Texans. Texas and the Mexican Northeast have been a cultural unit since the Foundation, within which there was trade and population exchange since the seventeenth century.
Good video!
Please visit the Nepal bakery! You won’t regret it. It’s right down from Friki Plaza.
I'm from Monterrey Mexico, haha I didn't understand almost anything they said because I don't speak English and I'm using the translator haha.....
Lo siento! We are going to try to add subtitles in the future. Saludos amigo!
The Mountain is call Cerro de La Silla. It looks like a Horse Saddle. And that is why. The saddle Mountain.
Better than ANY US Cities.
Agreed! It’s incredible in a lot of different ways.
6:00 he's saying 2 pounds of avocado for 75 cents (american currency) "A 15 (Mexican pesos) el kilo de Aguacate"
Looks like a cool city .Yes I've heard there are many high tech companies in Monterrey Mexico ,many American companies are there and move there from the USA.It's a very modern city .This city is too modern for my taste ,I Prefer old colonial cities over modern cities .Colonial cities are beautiful and full of history .
Nope. Most of the headquarters of American companies are in Mexico city. In fact most of these headquarters are the Latin American headquarters. These offices run their all Latin America operations from Mexico city. Although Monterrey is relative modern, it doesn't compare to the modernity of Mexico city's new business district Santa Fe where you find the headquarters of Microsoft, Best Buy, Huawei, Ford, Sony, Movistar (Telefónica), Microsoft, Televisa, Roche, PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Company, McDonald's, Amazon, Apple Inc, group Bimbo to name a few.
The reason there are not many foreign people living in Monterrey is that after a few weeks Monterrey becomes too boring.
@@fourthdeconstruction places like Guadalajara and Queretaro and San pedro Garza Garcia have more foreign investment than Monterrey even tho san pedro Garza garcia is in the Monterrey metropolitan area
@@fourthdeconstruction what i notice is that more foreign people live in Queretaro Tijuana Guadalajara and Mexico city
@@agustindeiturbide8051 yes but don't tell that to those from Monterrey. They are in denial for them Monterrey is the best...
