We will meet at Hemiciclo a Juarez in beautiful Alameda Central, in the heart of Downtown Mexico City. From there, our adventure will begin. In the course of 4 to 5 hours, we will visit 4 neighborhoods in Mexico City, on foot, tasting authentic Mexican flavours and learning about our boisterous and cosmopolitan city. We will experience local neighborhoods where average Mexicans live (Not Condesa!!!) and eat our way through the city to lively, unique places.

Additional Information

Please know that we are not interested in showing you fancy places like Condesa/Roma/Polanco. We strive to show you local, family-run, off-the-beaten-path places

Focusing on four different neighborhoods and with a route that spans through 3.5 km through the city, we will visit off-the-beaten-path places, street-food stalls and brick-and-mortar family businesses. You will taste tacos al pastor, mole de setas, tortas de milanesa and so much more in this four to five-hour experience. You will also try typical drinks such as hibiscus, tamarind and, may we say, THE BEST HORCHATA OF YOUR LIFE.

We will go into detail about how the food is made, and give you information about its relevance and place in Mexican culture. In the end, we will chill, have a beer in a really lively neighborhood while digest all the gloriousness we consumed during our rendezvous.

  • Gluten Free Options
Location

A tour you should not miss! - Could not recommend this tour enough! I feel so fortunate to have gone on this wonderful 3.5 hour vegan food tour with Mena. It is obvious how carefully this tour is planned. Mena doesn't just take you to 6 locations to consume absolutely delicious food, but she also accompanies it with wonderful commentary about CDMX vegan food, but also about CDMX, generally, including a bit on politics, history and the different neighborhoods. Mena also answers any question you throw her way. I loved how there was a good amount of walking (+ one fun local bus ride) between locations because you get so stuffed (come hungry). You also get to see different neighborhoods you may not otherwise see -- especially if you spend the majority of your time in popular Condessa + Roma. Mena makes very clear that she wants to honor and support lesser known vegan establishments owned by locals, but in no way does it compromise the quality of the food you eat -- indeed, it was some of the best food I had all trip and I planned vey thoroughly and hit almost 15 vegan establishments! It truly is a vegan's dream tour but I encourage any omnivore to try it too -- the vegan food in CDMX really is unparalleled!

Best tour of our trip, highly recommend Travelling Herbivore - We absolutely loved this tour experience with Mena. As a vegetarian I deeply appreciated the opportunity to try some flavors that usually only come in meaty varieties (such as the al pastor taco) and get introduced to very traditional foods as well (such as the huitlacoche quesadilla); especially as this was early in our trip it also helped educate me on what to look for when eating later on. Our tour guide also being just a very rad person I recommend this tour or any Travelling Herbivore tours for a great local experience and education for anyone.

Incredible food, but also so much more!! - Before I go into the specifics of why, I will say—DEFINITELY take this tour. It's everything I was looking/hoping for in a food tour: first and foremost, the food was delicious, varied, plentiful, and Mena took us to places that I likely never would've discovered on my own. What took this tour from good to great was Mena herself, who, in addition to be incredibly fun and interesting, provided wonderful context for the food we were eating, weaving it into a broader narrative of the city and what makes CDMX so special and interesting. Also, the tour was a perfect length with just the right amount of walking between stops to see a lot of the city and digest a bit between delicious rounds of food. 10/10 would recommend for veggies/vegans looking to find truly delicious food and connect to Mexico City in a deeper way.

Do it! - So worth it. Thoughtfully curated and delicious street food tour. Most of us were not vegan/vegetarian and would do it over and over. Can’t wait to come back and do more tours with Mena. She had so many that are now on our bucket lists!

The best food we had in Mexico city - By far the best food we had in Mexico city. The tour was fantastic - we visited places we'd never of found ourselves, and the food was sooooo good. The tour is very flexible - you can pretty much eat as much as you like/can, and if you see anything you want to try at any point during the tour Mena (the guide) will get it for you. Also super impressed by how Mena organised getting everyone the food they wanted, accomodating different diets, preferences, etc... Because of Mena's planning and organisation the tour feels really relaxed and fun, so she does an amazing job. Great experience, highly recommended 👍

Best Tacos Ever and Amazing Tour - This tour was absolutely amazing! We left with so much knowledge of the city and full stomachs. I will recommend this to all of my friends who plan a visit to Mexico City. Every single thing we ate was delicious, and the tacos were my personal favorite. Mena is amazing, the food was delicious, we learned so much, and saw beautiful neighborhoods we wouldn’t have otherwise visited. Make time in your trip for this tour. 10/10 recommend!
