The experience

You are with just your group, so the guide's full attention stays on you as the night moves from one of Mexico City's most traditional taquerias to the next. At each stop you taste a different specialty, prepared fresh, and hear the story behind its recipe, so every bite comes with some context. Tacos are the heart of the evening, and the plates come one after another, each one a little different from the last.

Between the plates comes a tasting of Mexican craft beer or mezcal. Your guide explains their flavors and how they matter in local culture, which gives the drink a meaning beyond the glass. The guide also looks after your safety and assistance throughout the tour, so you can simply enjoy the food.

The route also takes in Jamaica Market, a market that opened in the 1950s as part of efforts to modernize the city's markets. Its 1,150 stalls sell flowers, flower arrangements, ornamental plants and pots, with around 5,000 types of flowers and plants on offer.
