The station name comes from the Ribera de San Cosme avenue, on which the station is located. The former name of the road was Calzada de San Cosme and a stream used to run along the way before the desiccation of Lake Texcoco, hence the name "ribera".[2][5]
The station pictogram depicts a balcony from the nearby colonial building known as La Casa de los Mascarones that currently houses the National Autonomous University of Mexico Foreign Languages School.[2][3]
The station was opened on 14 September 1970 as part of the second stretch of Line 2, from Pino Suárez to Tacuba.[6]
The station serves the Colonia San Rafael and Colonia Santa María la Ribera neighborhoods.
