The experience
The ride starts at a traditional tortilla shop, where you watch fresh tortillas being made from stone-ground corn and learn how the dough comes together. Then you taste them warm, straight off the comal, with homemade sauces. Next comes a tamale stop: soft masa wrapped in corn husks and steamed, some savory, some sweet with fruit fillings, a real window into Mexico's rich culinary heritage.
Pedal on to the Roma market, where the stalls pile up fresh produce, spices and artisan crafts, and handmade quesadillas arrive hot from the griddle. Then head into Condesa for a stand Anthony Bourdain himself featured. The tacos de guisado come with stewed fillings like tinga, chile relleno and picadillo, tucked into freshly made tortillas, rich and hearty with no frills.
To finish, paletas, frozen treats made from natural fruit juices or creamy ingredients, in flavors from mango and pineapple to chocolate and coconut. Along the way you drink bottled water, a local guide travels with you, and the bike and helmet are part of the ride, so you can take in the neighborhoods at a relaxed pace.
