How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll immerse yourself in Mexico City’s food culture with one of our Mexican hosts, and by immersing we mean you’re going to eat a lot of incredible street food (a practical approach is best, we always find). Street food is king here, so you’ll explore a neighborhood of the city and eat at various street food stalls and taquerías for a taste of the real deal.
With dozens of varieties of tortas, pozole, mole, sopes and esquites to try, and that’s before you’ve even got us started on the dizzying world of tacos with their various toppings, salsas, and garnishes. You’ll be glad someone’s here to show you the ropes.
Feast your way through the streets and try the dishes which keep the city going at the places you know are authentic - it’s not hard to see, or taste, why CDMX has one of the best street food scenes in the world. And we suppose there’s always room for dessert. Fresh mango with chili, la concha sweet bread, or churros, anyone?

Adriana is a GEM! She completely customized the food tour for our location, preferences, and restrictions, and took care of everything from there. She had multiple options available at all times and did a great job of taking us to hidden finds and local favorites. We’ve been looking to the food tour for a long time and Adriana really delivered! In addition to being knowledgeable she is a wonderfully warm person who was a joy to chat with and spend the evening with. She’s the best and really kicked off our vacation in the perfect way! Thanks Adriana :)

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience! It would be so difficult for us to Our tour guide, Adriana, was so nice and fun. She planned the tour around our needs and made everything easy and enjoyable. Not only did she take us to delicious food stops, but she also shared so much about the culture and history of Mexico City. It would have been so difficult for us to enjoy the local foods without knowing any Spanish. Highly recommend!

Lando was amazing! This is the 1st trip to Mexico City for my husband and I and the customized tour exceeded our expectations. He is knowledgable of the country, food, the city itself along with being funny, helpful, and a great conversationalist. We were very happy with the sights shown to us, along with trying the different foods that had been on our list. We give him a 10!!!

Marisol chose a market tour and food stalls and small restaurants that gave us a true sense of how locals shop and eat. This was the furthest from “tourist traps” you can get and worth every penny of the tour fee. Marisol was full of information about Mexican culture and habits, which she shared with infectious enthusiasm. Being an experienced global traveler and student herself, she brought a worldly but also very personal perspective to her narrative. There is no way, as visitors (for a few days) to Mexico City, we could have duplicated this “deep dive” into local (food) culture by ourselves. Plus, we felt totally safe doing so, guided by Marisol, being warmly greeted everywhere by friendly shopkeepers and foodstall workers - and with the virtually complete absence of other tourists. Brava! Marisol for a most enjoyable introduction to your home country. A highly recommended food tour if you want to experience a slice of the “real” Mexico. Douglas, Linda, Kirstin & Robert
