Read MoreSpanish Phrases I Used Taking an Uber in Mexico City
By Lingobi · Published on 04/12/2025
When I took a solo trip to Mexico City, I knew I’d get the chance to practice my Spanish—but I didn’t expect one of my best conversations to happen in an Uber. I had just landed, ordered a ride to my Airbnb, and ended up chatting with the driver about places to visit, the best food in the city, and a little bit of everything. It was simple Spanish, but it felt amazing to connect like that.

Real phrases I used in the ride
¿Ha vivido en la Ciudad de México mucho tiempo? — Have you lived in Mexico City long?
¿Qué lugares recomienda visitar? — What places do you recommend visiting?
Quiero conocer el centro histórico. — I want to check out the historic center.
¿Dónde se come bien por aquí? — Where can I get good food around here?
Es mi primera vez aquí. — It’s my first time here.
What I loved most was how natural the conversation felt. I didn’t have to say everything perfectly. The driver was patient, and even helped me with a few words I forgot. That short Uber ride gave me more confidence than hours of studying vocabulary alone.
