Discover Mexico City’s Daytime Flavors

Your adventure begins in a bustling neighbourhood that hums with colour, smells, and energy. This is where locals shop, gossip, and grab their daily essentials — and where you’ll meet your chef-guide.

From there, we’ll wander through streets and plazas, stopping for tacos al pastor hot off the trompo, handmade blue-corn tlacoyos, and much more!

It’s not all about the bites, though — expect detours into cultural corners, historic buildings, and the kind of stories that make Mexico City’s food scene one of the most fascinating in the world.

  • Explore Mercado Santa María Nonoalco like a local.
  • Taste street food classics and lesser-known regional specialities.
  • Discover cultural and historic gems while walking through the city.
  • Intimate small groups led by a chef.

What’s included:

 
  • All food tastings (come hungry — really hungry).
  • Drink pairings (alcoholic and non-alcoholic, depending on the tour).
  • Guided walking experience with a professional chef.
  • Stories, history, and insider tips you won’t find in any guidebook.

What’s not included:

 
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off (our tours are on foot, and trust us, you’ll want the walk).
  • Personal shopping or additional food/drink beyond the tastings.
  • Tips for your guide (always appreciated if you loved the experience).
