Iztacalco is a station along Line 8 of the Mexico City Metro.[2][3]

Iztacalco is in the borough of the same name, in Mexico City. Its logo represents the monastery of San Matías, the first church on Calzada de la Viga.[2] The Nahuatl toponym Iztacalco means "in the house of salt".[2] The station was opened on 20 July 1994.[4]

Like the other stations on this stretch of Line 8, Iztacalco stands on Avenida Francisco del Paso y Troncoso (eje 3 Ote). It also connected with trolleybus line "M", which runs between INFONAVIT Iztacalco residential estate and Metro Villa de Cortés.[5] This station is the closest to the Colegio de Bachilleres Plantel 3 "Iztacalco".[6]
