Name and pictogram

The station is named for the neighborhood it lies in: the colonia Agrícola Oriental, a mixed-use neighborhood in eastern Mexico City. The name "agrícola" translates to agricultural; therefore, the station's pictogram depicts two spikes of wheat.[2]

Like every Line A station, except for Pantitlán, it is an at-grade station in the median of Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza with the entrances on both sides of the road connecting to the station through two pedestrian bridges.
