About this activity

Explore the bold flavors of Roma, one of Mexico City’s most exciting culinary areas, on a food experience designed to immerse you in local culture.

Choose between two unforgettable adventures:

Our Traditional Food Tour is a 3.5 hour culinary journey featuring 10+ tastings that showcase the depth of Mexican cuisine. Enjoy two taquerias recognized by the Michelin Guide, sample regional specialties like mole, and a proper sit-down stop. This experience goes beyond tacos, highlighting both tradition and modern creativity.

Our Taco Tour is a 2.5 hour deep dive into Mexico’s most iconic dish. Taste regional styles like Cochinita Pibil, northern Barbacoa, Birria, and inventive modern tacos. It is focused, flavorful, and perfect for taco lovers.

In both experiences, enjoy a taco and mezcal pairing in at least one spot.

Come hungry. Leave understanding why Mexican cuisine is recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Traffic is worse when it rains, but our tours still runs!
