General information

The station's name comes from Avenida Tasqueña, which in turn was taken from Taxco, Guerrero, an important silver mining town during the colonial period. The station icon represents a crescent moon.

Tasqueña connects Line 2 with the Xochimilco Light Rail line, which runs from this station to the borough of Xochimilco. It also connects with two trolleybus lines: route A, running between Tasqueña and Metro Autobuses del Norte, north of the city, and route K, running between Ciudad Universitaria (UNAM's main campus) and the San Lorenzo Teconzo campus of the Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México (UACM).
