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.

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.

Here is an idea of fun for all ages that never runs out of juice. These handmade wooden toys are a colorful souvenir option from Mexico. They are available in some street stands and in specialty handicrafts markets.
We recommend going shopping with a full belly after having taken the Gourmet San Juan Market Tour. Very close to our last food stop you will find the recently renovated San Juan Handicraft Market full of clothes, toys, jewelry, decorations and more.

Taquito de sal is one of the most simple yet incredibly satisfying snacks ever. Take a fresh tortilla, add salt and a few drops of homemade salsa and there you have it. The key is to find a tortilla made with fresh masa from the local mill versus the industrialized corn flour version. It’s very common to eat it while waiting in line to buy tortillas. Most tortillerías provide the salt and salsa as a free sample.
Join us to learn more about tortillas, tacos, nixtamal and more in Mexico City, Puebla and Playa del Carmen.

Chapulines a.k.a. grasshoppers are a sustainable source of protein. They are also crunchy, salty and delicious with lime juice. In Mexico its consumption has been inherited from an ancient tradition than can be traced to the Aztecs and many other pre-Columbian cultures.
Finding people selling them in the streets is a matter of luck, come and try them with us during the Gourmet San Juan Market Tour. This activity includes a fruit tasting and many other savory snacks (tacos, tostadas, tlacoyos and more), it’s available every day starting at 10:30am.

Can you imagine a taco without salsa? We sure can’t. Salsas are not just about how much heat you can take. They balance the experience of eating a taco by adding acidity and flavor. The spiciness is what gets you coming back for more, because of the pleasure it creates. Just thinking about it is mouthwatering!
Join us in happy eating and enjoy delicious salsas in every single one of our tours.

Molcajetes, clay pots and baskets are part of traditional Mexican food culture. They can be seen both in the Popular Art Museum (MAP) and in markets and kitchens. Its use comes from a long tradition and reinforces our identity linked to Mexican cuisine. So that future generations do not see them solely as museum pieces, it is important to keep their use alive. Their importance is not only historical, but for the end result they create. The pleasure offered by a salsa made in molcajete or beans cooked in a clay pot are undeniable, compared to using a blender or a pressure cooker.
Join us to visit markets and street food stands in small groups guided by local food experts. Also take into account our recommendation: during your visit to Mexico City you cannot miss the Popular Art Museum and its majestic collection.
