🌿 The South of Mexico City: Where the City Feels More Like a Neighborhood

The south of Mexico City has a different rhythm.
Among tree-lined streets, parks, schools, and residential areas, there is something you don’t always find in tourist guides:
the everyday homemade cooking.

In southern neighborhoods:

  • People still cook beans in a pot.

  • They prepare stews for the whole week.

  • They make family meals that bring everyone together around the table.

Homlunch takes that reality and turns it into a powerful idea:
that these meals, which already exist, can be shared with diners who want to eat in someone’s home, not just in a restaurant.

🍽️ What Does It Mean to Eat at a Homlunch Host’s Home?

Eating at a Homlunch host’s home is not the same as going to any “homemade food place”.
The experience changes because:

  • You eat in a real living space.

  • Your meal is planned for a small group, not for hundreds of people.

  • You can know who is cooking, what they cook, and why they chose that dish.

It’s ideal for:

  • People who work or study in the south of CDMX and miss home-cooked meals.

  • Tourists staying in the south who want to discover something more local.

  • Neighbors who want to explore new tables close to them.

👥 What Types of Diners Benefit Most in CDMX Sur?

The south of the city is very diverse, and that opens the door to many possible Homlunch experiences:

🎓 Students

In areas with universities, homemade food nearby can be a lifesaver:

  • Complete menus at an accessible price.

  • “Like home” meals for those who live alone or far from their families.

💼 Professionals

For those who work in the south and are tired of the same options:

  • They can find homemade meals for weekday lunches.

  • More human alternatives than fast food or mall food courts.

👨‍👩‍👧 Families

For families who want a change of environment without going to a crowded restaurant:

  • A meal at a host’s home can feel more intimate and relaxed.

🧳 Tourists

Those staying in the south of CDMX can:

  • Get to know the city from a local’s table.

  • Try homemade dishes that don’t appear on tourist menus.

🌮 What Kind of Dishes Could You Find at a Homlunch in CDMX Sur?

More than “famous recipes,” the real strength in the south is everyday food done well.
In a host’s home, you might find, for example:

  • Homestyle comida corrida: soup, rice, main dish, and a fresh drink.

  • Enchiladas prepared to order, with homemade sauces and warm tortillas.

  • Traditional stews: chicken in chipotle, carne en su jugo, pork in green salsa.

  • Real comfort snacks: sopes, quesadillas, tlacoyos made with care.

Each host can use Homlunch to showcase their cooking style, family recipes, and personal flavor.

🧡 Eating in Hosts’ Homes: More Closeness, Less Rush

A key trait of southern CDMX is that many areas still have an atmosphere that is:

  • More residential.

  • Less rushed.

  • With time to cook and sit at the table.

That fits perfectly with Homlunch’s proposal:

  • Meals where there’s time to serve without hurry.

  • Spaces where the diner can feel more like an invited guest than just a “customer.”

  • An environment that feels closer to visiting someone you know than “going out to eat.”

🌱 What If You Are the Next Host Home in the South?

Maybe you’ve been cooking for years for your family, your kids, your friends.

“If you opened a place, it would go so well for you.”

Homlunch lets you take that step without opening a physical restaurant:

  • Using your kitchen just as it is.

  • Designing one or more experiences, such as:

    • weekday lunch

    • homestyle dinner

    • special weekend menu

  • Welcoming diners who value food made calmly and with care.
