If you’ve followed The Chef Tours, you already know we’ve brought travellers unforgettable food and wine experiences in Paris, Berlin, Istanbul, and Seville. Each city was chosen for its unique culinary heritage, vibrant neighbourhoods, and immersive cultural connections. Now, we’re eager to share that our next tour city will be Mexico City, and here’s why.
1. A Culinary Capital of the World
Mexico City is recognized by UNESCO for its intangible cultural heritage of traditional Mexican cuisine (UNESCO source). From pre-Hispanic street foods to contemporary fine dining, the city offers a range of flavors few destinations can match.
2. Diversity of Neighborhoods
Just as our Paris food tours celebrate Montmartre and our Seville wine tours explore Santa Cruz, in Mexico City, we’ll uncover neighbourhoods like Bella Vista, an area filled with local markets, hidden taquerías, and family-run kitchens. This neighbourhood is rarely seen by tourists, so our tours will be truly unique and off the beaten path. We will offer a day tour to explore the local eateries and a night tour, Mexico City Confidential, which will follow on the heels of our Kadikoy Confidential and Montmartre Confidential tours. In this one we find the hidden, the unique and, because it is an evening tour, a little more alcohol.
3. Market Culture That Rivals Europe
Markets are at the heart of every successful Chef Tour. Mexico City’s mercados are legendary for their variety and authenticity, making them perfect for curated tastings and chef-led education.
4. Street Food Worth Traveling For
Our upcoming Mexico City Confidential evening tour will focus on lesser-known, locals-only street stalls—think handmade blue corn tortillas, barbacoa cooked in underground pits, and flavours that never make it to tourist guidebooks. Of course, there will be beer and tequila.
5. A Natural Expansion for Our Travelers
Guests who loved our wine-focused evenings in Seville, multi-course cultural dinners in Berlin, and hidden restaurant hunts in Istanbul have asked for a Latin American option. Mexico City’s culinary depth makes it the ideal next step. It is also quite close for our American visitors to take a quick trip.
6. Perfect for Small Groups & Private Tours
Like all our tours, our Mexico City experiences will be intimate (max 6 guests), walking-only, and focused on connecting you directly with chefs, vendors, and families—not just eating, but understanding the culture.
7. Easy to Pair With Other Travel
Mexico City is a hub for international flights, making it easy to add a food tour to your itinerary. Plus, the cost of living and dining remains far lower than in many European cities, making it a value-packed culinary destination.
