The experience
What makes this different from a standard food tour is that the guides are food engineers, chefs and a national coffee judge who grew up in Mexico City and actually know the tacos and mezcal they're taking you to. You'll walk through Colonia Roma, the neighborhood that shaped the city's food scene, and stop at several of the best taco places, not the ones tourists find, but the ones locals eat at. At each stop you taste a different type of taco and a mezcal that pairs with it, and the guide explains where the recipe comes from and what it means to Mexican food culture.
The walk takes three hours and covers ground through one of the city's most architecturally interesting neighborhoods. Bring comfortable shoes. You'll taste many different types of tacos, all red meat based, and several mezcals, so come hungry and ready to drink. The experience is designed for adults 18 and up because of the alcoholic beverages, and it's wheelchair accessible with all surfaces and areas navigable.
