Plaza Loreto

Coyoacán & San Ángel


An attractive shopping mall converted from an old paper factory in San Angél. Several patios and courtyards are set between the brick buildings and it’s a lot more than just a place to shop – you’ll find a mini-amphitheater for free concerts and puppet shows, an art-house cinema, an art museum and one of the city’s best restaurants, Taberna del León.
