Line 5 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Cometro, a subsidiary of Empresas ICA;[6] in the Valle Gómez–Misterios stretch, workers uncovered part of a road that connected Tenochtitlan with the Tepeyac hill. The road was built with materials dating from the Mesoamerican Postclassic Period.[7]

Valle Gómez metro station is an underground station that was opened on 1 July 1982,[8] on the first day of the La Raza–Pantitlán service.[9] The interstation stretch between Valle Gómez and Consulado stations goes from underground to the at-grade level and it is 679 m (2,227 ft) long; the Misterios–Valle Gómez tunnel is 969 m (3,179 ft) long.[10]

The station's pictogram represents an agave plant,[11] and the station is named after the Valle Gómez family, owners of the former La Vaquita paddock, where agave plants would grow.[3] There is an Internet café inside the station.[3]
