Hey there, I'm Rafael, your local host in the wonderful Mexico City. I love everything about this vibrant city, especially its diverse food scene. Seriously, if you can't find it in Mexico City, it probably doesn't exist. When I am not trying new foods, you'll often find me on a mission uncovering the hidden gems tucked away in every corner. I know Coyoacán and Downtown like the back of my hand. Now, let's talk taquerías and pulcatas. I'm practically a walking encyclopedia on these havens. Trust me, if there's a taco worth trying or a pulque that'll knock your socks off, I've got the deets. So, buckle up! Whether you're craving a laugh, a tasty adventure, or just a chat about the quirks of Mexico City, I've got you covered. Let's explore this amazing city together, one taco at a time!

My reviews
-
Rafael was phenomenal! He paid great attention to your needs and interests, and fully embraced the very spirit of CityUnscripted, in terms of tailoring your curiosity around Condesa and Roma areas. He was super approachable, yet opened my eyes to many Mexican cultures that I would have not been able to find out myself. He brought me to a few places for taco and vinyl record hunts (yes, odd combo yet very customized) that I was able to trace back myself in the remaining of my trip on my own. I just love the very spirit of CityUnscript to choose our own adventure with well guided staffs.

I did a 6 hour tour and we covered a lot of ground. Rafael was my guide and he was phenomenal. He knew many places to go and we had many options. He was a wealth of information about a variety of local topics and provided a great experience!
