Itinerary
The Taco Tour Mexico kicks off in Mexico City’s historic center, where every street corner offers a new aroma, a new flavor, and a new story. This walking tour leads you to three iconic taco spots, all recognized by the Michelin Guide, where each taco captures the essence of Mexico’s diverse culinary traditions.
Your first stop is a legendary taquería tucked into a narrow alley, known citywide for its massive bubbling cauldron where different cuts of beef are simmered together to perfection. Here, you’ll try tender suadero, spicy longaniza, and more adventurous bites like lengua (tongue) and ojo (eye), all served on small tortillas, topped with finely chopped onion, cilantro, and your choice of salsa. It’s greasy, savory, and wildly flavorful, a quintessential CDMX street taco experience.
Next, we head to a taquería that brings the flavors of Toluca to the capital. This spot is celebrated for its chorizo verde, a unique green sausage made with fresh herbs, poblano peppers, and spices that give it an intense aroma and a beautifully balanced flavor. You can try it solo or mixed with red chorizo in a duo taco, adding a spicy, tangy punch to your tasting lineup. This is a perfect example of how regional ingredients bring diversity to Mexico’s taco scene.
Finally, you’ll visit a fast-paced local favorite known for its tacos de canasta; soft, pre-steamed tacos that sit in a large basket, absorbing richly spiced sauces as they wait to be served. Fillings might include refried beans, chicharrón prensado, adobo potatoes, or tinga, one flavorful, comforting, and soaked through with savory juices. You’ll likely be surrounded by locals grabbing a quick bite, just as they’ve done here for decades.
To keep things refreshing, you’ll sip on aguas fresca, light fruit-based drinks like hibiscus or tamarind as your local guide shares the cultural and culinary stories behind every taco and technique.
This is more than a food tour, it’s a flavorful, street-level dive into the culinary soul of Mexico City, one tortilla at a time.
