Polanco Food Tour: 5 Tastings, Tacos, Mezcal & Churros

Five tastings across Polanco's best taquerías, ending with churros and chocolate

A 3-hour walking food tour through Polanco with a local guide covers five tastings: artisanal mezcal, multiple styles of authentic tacos from different spots, and churros with Mexican chocolate. You taste across handpicked neighborhood favorites loved by locals, learning the stories and traditions behind each dish while exploring the streets of one of Mexico City's most elegant neighborhoods.

The experience

Five tastings make up a full meal on this tour, so come hungry. You start with an exclusive mezcal tasting of three distinct varieties, learning about the ancestral craftsmanship behind the spirit. Then you move through Polanco's favorite taquerías in an all-you-can-eat progression: smoky tacos al pastor carved from the trompo, Yucatán-style pork tacos, and regional specialties from across Mexico. Your local guide walks you between stops and shares the stories behind the food (the ingredients, the traditions, the regional differences), so every taco becomes a window into Mexican gastronomy and culture.

The tour ends with freshly made churros served with authentic Mexican chocolate. The whole experience stays on foot through Polanco's charming streets, and the guide speaks English or Spanish depending on your group.
