The birthplace of chocolate, corn, and even the humble mousepad. Yes, we’re thrilled to say 'hola' to Yelp’s 25th country: Mexico! Having recently
launched key new markets in Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America, we at Yelp are excited about extending our presence in Latin America.
With over 113 million residents, Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking country on the globe. Its rich history spans back to 1,500 BC when Olmecs
first settled the land. By the 15th century the Aztecs had built a sprawling empire of pyramids, mile-long floating roads, and aqueducts. And the
arrival of Cortés in 1519 sparked a tumultuous, centuries-long melding of indigenous and Spanish cultures.
Today, Mexico is a vibrant mosaic of micheladas, mole, and muralism, just to name a few of its cultural contributions. Whether you’re looking for a
taco fix, a refreshing pulque, or a beautiful alebrije to showcase at home, locals will now be able to find their favorite businesses on Yelp.
Yelp’s efforts in Mexico will start with, where else, Mexico City. The nation’s capital is also its financial and cultural hub. Though it’s sinking at
a rate of one foot a year, this city is definitely on the rise, and with 20 million people it’s officially Yelp’s largest city.

Yelp gets an earful from L.A. business owners
-----------------------------------------------------------
"At a town hall meeting organized by Yelp, small-business owners slam the review website, complaining about aggressive ad sales tactics and bogus
reviews that hurt sales."
