Since 9 November 2023, the station has remained closed for modernization work on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment.

Insurgentes receives its name from Avenida de los Insurgentes, one of Mexico City's most important thoroughfares, the station is located under the intersection of Insurgentes and Avenida Chapultepec. The station pictogram depicts the church bell of Dolores Hidalgo, a symbol of the start of the Mexican War of Independence (1810) and the eleven year long insurgency that followed. The station's exterior walls are intended to evoke pre Hispanic architecture, while the platform walls are decorated with mock ups of platforms from the Paris Métro and the London Underground. The station was opened on 5 September 1969. Exterior shots of the plaza and metro entrance were used in the 1990 motion picture Total Recall. This is an important station for bus transfers, connecting with an extensive local network of urban buses (RTP, or Red de Transporte de Pasajeros) that serves zones like Villa Olímpica and Tlalpan, south of the city, and Metro Indios Verdes, north of the city. The Insurgentes Metrobús bus rapid transit line also has a stop in the vicinity of Metro Insurgentes. In recent years, the Glorieta de los Insurgentes (and, therefore, the station itself), has been a meeting and starting point for some social and political rallies; for example, in December 2019, it was used as a meeting point for several feminist rallies. The station serves the following neighborhoods: Colonia Juárez and Colonia Roma Norte.

Glorieta de los Insurgentes, roundabout with a small plaza and commerces. Zona Rosa, neighborhood known for its shopping, nightlife, gay community and Korean community. Plaza Río de Janeiro, square. Fuente de Cibeles, replica of the fountain located in the Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid.
