Name and pictogram
When the station opened in 1970, it was originally named for the street that was in front of the station, Juanacatlán (the name of the street changed and it is now known as Alfonso Reyes, in honor of the Mexican writer, philosopher and diplomat).[6]
The street was in turn named for Juanacatlán in the state of Jalisco. Xonacatlan, means "place of onions" (sometimes mistakenly read as meaning "place of butterflies") in Nahuatl. Therefore, the station's pictogram depicts a butterfly.[2]
The station's building also contains the offices of the Metro workers' trade union, the windows of which depict the front of a metro train.[8][9] This station runs under Avenida Pedro Antonio de los Santos.[2] It serves the San Miguel Chapultepec and Condesa districts.[2]
