Eat Mexico: culinary tours experience - Our guides (Clara and Toti) were phenomenal and were accommodating to all of our dietary restrictions. Their knowledge of the street food was top tier. We had 7–10 different types of dishes along with a few drinks. The overall experience was incredible. 10/10 would recommend.

Bring Your Appetite - This is an excellent way to learn about food and how to eat safely from the street vendors. As it was explained to us, there are millions of people that eat this way every day. We enjoyed the education as well as the selection of foods. Our guide Tonalli was very patient and knowledgeable. She adjusted our food selection to accommodate our wishes. She is wonderful and would highly recommend her as a guide.

Amazing Market and Street Food Tour! - We had a wonderful, and fun tour with Tonalli on our first day in Mexico City. She guided us through two markets, and we saw and tasted things we never would have done by ourselves. The fruit tasting was eye-opening for sure, along with snacking on the obligatory chapulines which were actually very tasty. The best street food, I have ever had were the tlocoyo’s with a fava bean paste, nopale salsa etc., cooked by a sweet woman on the street close to the San Juan market – incredible! So many delicious tastings, including coffee and aquas frescos. I learnt a great deal from Tonalli, not only about the food of Mexico City, but its history too, so informative and super helpful for our subsequent museum visits. I would definitely do another tour when we go back to CDMX, and I highly recommend Tonalli – she was amazing!
