Tepito is a station of the Metro B line located north of the center of México City in the barrio Tepito in the Colonia Morelos district of the Cuauhtémoc delegation.[2][3] The station's logo represents a boxing glove. Many Mexican boxers were born and raised in Tepito, like Rubén Olivares "El Púas" ("spikes").[2] Today, Tepito is an infamous zone in Mexico City, due to the high level of drug trafficking, counterfeiting, and violent crime.

The station was opened on 15 December 1999.[4]

From 23 April to 28 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[5][6]
