Having someone trained in the culinary arts guide you through the markets and street vendors is such a treat. San Juan market with Ariane was a perfect introduction to the best places to eat in Centro. The al pastor I had with her has been standard setting. I also know exactly where to go for ingredients and gourmet gifts for loved ones now.
FIVE-STAR GUIDES
Our guides have received five-star reviews for over 10 years now. They’ve studied Mexican gastronomy formally and have hands-on experience working in kitchens. They’re not only friendly and patient, but also eager to share their expert knowledge about understanding the local food scene.
CULTURAL IMMERSION
We avoid touristy spots and keep our group sizes small. This way, you can experience Mexico how locals do — from the lens of someone who knows it well. We’ll lead you to great food and empower you to eat confidently throughout your time in Mexico.
FLEXIBLE CANCELLATION
Things happen when you travel. We get it! With Eat Mexico, you can cancel up to 48 hours before your tour begins and receive a full refund. After that 48 hour period, we’ll only charge you a small administrative fee and return the rest to you.
Mexican Food, Culture, & Fun
Join Our Local Guides To See A Whole New Side of Mexico City
In Mexico City, two food worlds exist side by side: the restaurants and the streets. It can be hard to know which sidewalk grills, market stalls, taquerías, and cantinas to visit if you’re not familiar with the city. Enter: the Eat Mexico team.
On our tours, we’ll whisk you away from the tourist traps and take you to places that our local resident guides know and love. We want you to connect with Mexico City in a profound way, by tasting the food that residents eat and enjoy. You’ll learn the food’s history, the ingredients, the how’s and the why’s. You’ll hear from the guides and meet our vendors, as we’re all proud to share our heritage.
Each of our Mexican food tours has been carefully designed by our on-the-ground team to highlight three things: the deliciousness of the cuisine, the richness of Mexican gastronomic history and culture, and the vendors who prepare the food. Whichever tour fits your interests, our local and bilingual guides will give you an experience you won’t forget.
SEE WHAT OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS HAVE TO SAY
One of the most fun tours I’ve ever done! Our guide, Nico, was fantastic and knowledgeable. The food stops were incredible – the Al Pastor tacos were the best thing I’ve ever eaten. It was fun, safe, and delicious!
My 3rd time doing the Chilangos Taco Tour with Eat Mexico Culinary Tours & I love it every single time. The past two times I was fortunate enough to have the amazing Adrian as my guide. He’s so knowledgeable & passionate, plus he’s a super nice guy. This tour rocks. Great service, communications, value, experience – 5 stars each time.
BEST Food Tour Ever!! Our guide Nicolas was amazing and so informative. He was literally a walking encyclopedia. This was the highlight of our trip to Mexico. I keep recommending to every one I know.
We had a great tour of street food in Mexico. We enjoyed lots of tasty food, learned about the street food culture. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Great tour. Went through a neighborhood that isn’t listed among the “popular” places to go which was a huge plus. Had the best barbacoa of my life (and I’ve had a lot) and an all around great time. Come hungry and pace yourself 🙂
I did the Santa Maria la Ribera tour during the week with a couple friends and had an amazing time. The guides took us to 7 (!) different restaurants and taught us a lot about both the cuisine we were eating and the neighborhood that we were visiting. I could not recommend this tour enough, and I will definitely be booking Eat Mexico tours on my next visit south of the border.
My husband and I did a 3.5 hour food tour in Mexico City with Eat Mexico, and we loved every second of it! We did the Gourmet San Juan Market & Street Food Tour getting a chance to eat tostadas, food from Oaxaca, street tacos, delicious Mexican fruit, Mexican wine, pulque, and so much more! Highly recommend this tour.
We booked the Streets & Sweets private tour on our first morning in Mexico City. This was recommended as we have two younger children. Nico was our guide, and we really enjoyed our time with him. He speaks very good English, is extremely knowledgeable, and he’s just an all around nice guy.

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! Although in Mexico this day is not a celebration, it's important to remember that it's part of our history. We like to know that in the United States it's a reason to bring people together and have a good time. 🍹

Bolillos ❤️
This type of bread is one of the greatest gastronomic pleasures for the inhabitants of Mexico City. Its crispy crust and soft crumb provide a great experience. It can be enjoyed on its own, fresh from the oven, or prepared with all kinds of savory fillings. It is popularly said that it helps to recover from a scary situation: "un bolillo pa'l susto".
One of the goals of our food tours is to share culture and Mexican food on a deeper level. Look at all the options we have in the link in our biography.

To savor the perfect taco, add lime juice and salsa; the acidity helps balance the flavors. In Mexico limes are known as “limones” and lemons are “limones amarillos”. Limes are more common and cheaper than lemons.
Enjoy our selection of tacos on our tour “Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal”. Follow the link in our bio to read more about this tour and other activities.

Traditional Mexican candies are colorful and very sweet. These pepitorias consist of two thin wafers joined with honey and decorated with pumpkin seeds. These candies are still produced in a small scale and people who make them are considered artisans.

Finding fresh squash blossom in the markets all year round is very easy in Mexico City. It is commonly used in soups and quesadillas and can also be eaten fresh in salads. Its velvet texture offers a pleasant touch to any dish.

This pulque is one of our favorites: It is mixed with fresh tomato pulp which makes it very refreshing and even adds a little sweet taste. The salt and chile crust in the glass create a satisfying contrast. Pulque combines the benefits of probiotics with low alcohol content.
Come and try this and other delicious tastings in our new tour, coming really soon in Playa del Carmen.

This steaming burrito is about to be rolled up and served with chipotle sauce. The filling contains refried beans, squash blossom, epazote, cheese, onion and tomato.
