Plot
The series is set in Mexico City, mostly at a coffee shop named "El Dicho" owned by Don Tomás, where he is helped by his granddaughter Isabel (Seasons 1–4) and his employees Poncho (Seasons 1–5) and Marieta (Season 4–present). Episodes usually center around the customers, who most of the time are dealing with a problem. Throughout the episode a saying is written in one of the white walls of the coffee shop, either by Don Tomás, one of his employees or by a customer. The saying that is written is usually describing the situation of what is happening in the particular moment it is written.
Filming
Unlike many Televisa productions, Como dice el dicho is produced on-site in diverse locales across Mexico City, with the production team shooting six episodes each week, often filming two episodes concurrently. The coffee shop scenes featured in the first season and initial episodes of the second season were captured in the Condesa neighborhood within Cuauhtémoc borough. From the second season onwards, these scenes have been filmed in the Anzures neighborhood, located in the Miguel Hidalgo borough. Filming at the coffee shop typically occurs once or twice weekly. The first two episodes of the fourth season were filmed in Zacatlán, Puebla, which was the first time the series filmed episodes outside of Mexico City. The first two episodes of the fifth season were filmed in ultra-high-definition 4K resolution.
Music
The series' original theme song is called Como dice el dicho and is performed by Mexican singer Mané de la Parra, the version performed by de la Parra was used for Seasons 1 and 3. The same theme song was used for Season 2 but was performed by singer Jass Reyes. For Season 4 a new song performed by Marco Di Mauro was used as the show's theme, the song is also called Como dice el dicho. For Seasons 5 and 6 the original theme song returned and was performed by Mané de la Parra and Margarita Vargas. For Season 7, the song is performed by de la Parra and by Mexican band La Original Banda El Limón.
