Recommended Mexican Souvenirs

Food Like Mole Negro, Coffee
They are made of an impressive list of ingredients, including various nuts, seeds, spices, chilies, a banana and chocolate. The sauce takes at least a day to prepare, and it is therefore eaten predominantly on special occasions.
Mexico tops the world rankings for production of organic coffee and so what better place to pick up some top-quality beans than the country’s capital? While coffee isn’t produced in Mexico City – in fact, the beans are principally cultivated and harvested in the states of Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas – there are certainly a ton of certified brands you can pick up there.

Tree of Life
Tree of Life images are carved on the tombstone of Pakal in Palenque, Chiapas, confirming its cultural and religious role in Mexico’s history
It’s one of the more decorative folk arts, swaying away from the typical categorization as functional pieces of art. Even so, no guide to Mexican folk art would be complete without mentioning these elaborately produced and colorfully decorated items. While they once usually depicted biblical stories, you can now find Trees of Life that tell other tales.
Lucha libre Mask
Want a gift that’s a little different, inexpensive and completely iconic? We recommend you get yourself down to the luchas and buy yourself a replica mask. Choose from designs that are the same as current luchadores such as Shocker and Rey Mysterio, or go for a classic and buy the mask of El Santo. Either way, you’ll love this colourful memory of Mexico City. You don’t have to attend a match to buy one, as they’re sold all over the place, but, when in Rome…
Catrina or Skull Related Souvenirs
The Catrina skeleton was created by the Mexican printmaker and illustrator José Guadalupe Posada. In the early 20th century, Posada depicted an aristocratic female skeleton dressed in a hat. Today the image is available in a wide variety of formats, from sculptures to T-shirts and prints.
Huipil
Many may not think of Mexico as a place that fosters high fashion, but many fashion designers hail from Mexico, such as Jorge Duque and Julia y Renata.
Huipil is a classic and traditional Mexican womenswear item, and one that can be picked up for very little money all across Mexico, which means that Mexico City is no exception. Originally, these cotton dresses were made very simple with garnishes of color.
