Living in Pueblo de Los Reyes
Pueblo de los Reyes (formerly Hueytilac, meaning "in the great black waters" in Nahuatl) is one of the seven original villages of Coyoacán, with pre-Hispanic roots dating back to 2400 BC and a colonial plaza centered around the Parish of the Three Wise Men (16th century). Its way of life preserves traditions such as the mayordomías (religious brotherhoods) on January 6th, featuring communal mole, tamales, and barbacoa, as well as celebrations honoring the Lord of Mercy. Pedestrian alleyways and orchards contrast with modern condominiums, making it ideal for families who value cultural heritage near the historic center.
The quality of life here combines rural charm with Coyoacán urban amenities, low density, local businesses, and access to Eje 10/Quevedo, although the area has been transformed by real estate developments. Affordable rents reflect its evolution from an agricultural village to a mixed-income, upper-middle-class neighborhood, maintaining a strong sense of community with its adorned cross and communal preparation of tamales, which, if traditional rules are broken, evoke the "pinto tamales."
