ADO Aeropuerto Mexico City Xalapa recent customer reviews
The ADO terminal is located across a bridge from MEX terminal 1. The staff was helpful and the service was efficient. The bus made a food/ rest stop about two hours into the trip. Many east bound busses happened to stop at the same time, so the little store got very crowded.
