Plaza San PedroPremium cinema, Coppel, MacStore and Chiang's across from CETYS4.5★ with 11,904 reviews — the Zona Dorada's most reviewed mall
What Plaza San Pedro is, and why it is the Zona Dorada's flagship mall
Plaza San Pedro is the Zona Dorada's covered shopping promenade, at Calzada Cetys 1801 on the corner of Gómez Morín, across from CETYS University. At 4.5 stars with 11,904 reviews it is the most-reviewed plaza in the Zona Dorada — citywide, only La Cachanilla gathers more — and its engine is clear: the premium Cinépolis with 4DX and VIP theaters, which on its own gathers nearly 6,000 reviews.
The complex works as an air-conditioned promenade of stores around the cinema: Coppel, Office Depot —opening at 8 for the university crowd—, the MacStore (Apple reseller), Steren and a whole corridor of beauty and services. For dining, Chiang's brings sit-down Chinese food (1,735 reviews), and the directory's surprise is Pizza Hut: 4.7 stars across nearly 2,000 opinions, the highest rating in the whole mall. Vips serves breakfast from 7 on its pad, and the Ray Wilson gym runs 5 AM to midnight.
Two things repeat across the reviews: being covered —including much of the parking— makes it the natural summer refuge, and the paid parking is its friction: slow machines (visitors themselves recommend paying with the Parco app) and difficult access at peak hours. The hours in this guide were checked business by business against Google in August 2026.

🧭 Before you go
Four things that change how the visit goes, drawn from real hours and reviews.
Parking is paid — download the Parco app
It is the tip visitors give in their own reviews: the payment machines are slow and the exit clogs at peak hours; with the Parco app you pay from your phone and drive straight out. In exchange, much of the parking is covered.
The 4DX and VIP run by showtime
The Cinépolis is the mall's anchor and its special theaters fill up on release weekends: buy tickets online and check the day's listings. For dinner after the movie, Tabú Sushi holds out until 11.
Corridors open at 11 — the anchors don't wait
Arriving early? Office Depot opens at 8, Pizza Hut at 9, Vips serves breakfast from 7 on its pad and the Ray Wilson gym from 5 AM. The indoor promenade starts at 11.
Access clogs at peak hours
“Its access points are very difficult,” sums up a July 2026 review: the Cetys-Gómez Morín corner concentrates three plazas plus CETYS. Enter from the boulevard patiently — or come outside peak hours — and the visit changes completely.
⭐ What visitors say
Real reviews from the mall's Google listing (4.5★ across 11,904 opinions), including the most repeated complaint.
“Great location and easy to access. Has great options for shopping and an incredible movie theatre.”— Manuel Cortez, on Google (November 2023)
“This was a very hipster mall... They have a few restaurants and shops. A movie theater can be found in this mall. I love that this mall had air conditioning since it was a boiling 100 degrees outside.”— Lorenzo Warfel, on Google (June 2019)
“It has 4DX and VIP theaters… The parking lot is large. I recommend downloading the Parco app to pay for parking faster, since the machine is slow.”— Manuel Garibay, on Google (May 2026, translated from Spanish)
❓ Frequently asked questions
What are Plaza San Pedro's hours?
The corridors open 11 AM to 9 PM seven days a week, but several anchors overflow them: Office Depot opens at 8, Pizza Hut at 9, Vips (on the pad) from 7, the Ray Wilson gym from 5 AM, and Cinépolis's night showings end after closing time.
Is parking at Plaza San Pedro free?
No: it is paid. The visitors' own tip is to pay with the Parco app, because the machines are slow and the exit gets congested at peak hours. In exchange, much of the parking is covered — a luxury in Mexicali's summer.
What theaters does the Cinépolis at Plaza San Pedro have?
It is the Zona Dorada's premium cinema, with traditional, 4DX and VIP theaters, and 4.4 stars across 5,989 reviews. It runs by showtime: check the day's listings before going.
What stores does Plaza San Pedro have?
The anchors are Cinépolis, Coppel, Office Depot and MacStore (Apple reseller). To eat: Chiang's (contemporary Chinese, 1,735 reviews), Pizza Hut (4.7★, the mall's highest rating), Tabú Sushi, Wrap Express, Subway, dosis specialty coffee and Cinnabon, plus Vips on the pad. There is a Ray Wilson gym, beauty salons, banks and a games zone.
Where is Plaza San Pedro?
At Calzada Cetys 1801, corner of Gómez Morín, Rivera/Vista Hermosa (ZIP 21259), in the Zona Dorada — across from CETYS University and across the street from Plaza Lienzo. Heads up: access from the boulevard is the recurring complaint at peak hours.
Are Plaza San Pedro and Plaza Lienzo the same?
No: they are two different plazas on the same corner. San Pedro is the covered promenade at Cetys 1801 (cinema, Coppel, MacStore); Lienzo is the open-air plaza at Gómez Morín 799 (Mochomos, drive-thru Starbucks). They feel like one corridor, but each has its own parking.
