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 most

What 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?

We had an incredible experience with Roberto in Mexico City! He was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home. His knowledge of local culture, history, and current issues really enriched our understanding of the city. Instead of just taking us to the typical tourist spots, he guided us through vibrant neighborhoods, and shared stories that brought the city to life. The highlight, was the food! He took us to amazing local taquerias we never would have found on our own. Every bite was a culinary adventure! Roberto’s enthusiasm, expertise, and personalized approach made the tour unforgettable. If you’re looking for an authentic and engaging experience in Mexico City, this guide is a must! Highly recommended.

First, Roberto has a wide range of knowledge and not just about food. We did a taco tour around the Condesa area. Each place he gave a very detailed knowledge of how they were prepared. We started with a breakfast version. We also went to different types of locations. Dine in ones and a street stand. All were delicious. But beyond that, he knew about the area, Mexico history, and just generally a great tour guide. I was here with my brother. It made for a perfect day !

Roberto was an outstanding guide! We indulged in an amazing variety of tacos from four different vendors, each showcasing the old and new ways to enjoy this beloved dish. His walking tour of Condesa Roma was an adventure we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We also stopped in Roma for some craft beers and enjoyed a flight of their unique brews. I came to CDMX to visit my sister, who was here for work, and we stayed in Polanco. This tour was a fantastic way to explore a different part of this beautiful city while savoring delicious food and engaging in stimulating conversation with Roberto. It's safe to say he made our entire trip unforgettable!

Roberto was the best food guide I have had in Mexico City. He certainly knows his stuff, is an amazing person. Super friendly with a wicked sense of humor. We did tow tours with him today and they were absolutely amazing! We had so much fun and ate the best tacos!

Roberto is so smart and fun. He is very good in English and just a great guy who you would want to spend time with eating great food. He will pick you up and take you to a handful of great eateries. And we ended with delicious churros. And you get to learn about the neighborhoods and history as he is an archeologist also. Go and enjoy!

We just had the best experience. Marisol was a delight, we loved her. She taught us so much about food, art, history, and architecture here in Mexico City. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience!
