Historisches Zentrum Food Tour in Mexiko-Stadt

We had a great time in the house. In addition to learning and tasting a lot of traditional Mexican dishes, we also learned a lot about the culture and history. A very nice way to discover the city. Definitely recommended! Meriam did a great job! Compliments

When they say a guide should feel like you’re walking through a city with a friend, it does with Josette. The moment we met her at Testal, her energy and vibes drew us in for what the rest of our food tour around the historic centre would be like. On a Thursday, it was just my partner and I who were on the tour, so pretty much had Josette as our private tour guide. From reading past reviews, we made sure we came with empty stomachs and we were already full by our 3rd tasting at the famous street food location El Caguamo for their ceviche tostada (my favourite dish on the tour, but I’m biased as ceviche has always been my favourite food). My partner’s favourite was the Corunda and 3 types of mole tostadas at Testal - our 1st tasting. Other call-outs include having wild boar for the first time and the yummy local drinks. I had hibiscus agua Fresca at Testal; clericot at Delicatessan Alexandra Gourmet in the Mercado de San Juan; carajillo at La Mascota and horchata at El Bajio! What was awesome besides the generous servings of food and drinks was seeing her rapport with the market vendors and restaurant staff. This made sense to us because of her infectious energy which made it fun to be a part of each of the different venues. For each venue, we had a mini history lesson on the different foods we tried and the venue itself (one being a former president’s home). The tour got even better when Josette became our photographer at notable places and streets within the historic centre like the Mercado de Artesanías y Curiosidades Mexicanas San Juan and the “sinking” school on our way to La Mascota. Our photos look amazing! Our tour wrapped up with a birthday surprise at El Bajio where Josette so thoughtfully organised a birthday flan for me. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness! If you love copious amounts of food and drinks and a bubbly and energetic guide who loves Mexico and what she does, book this tour with Josette! Thank you so much Josette and hope that our paths cross again (maybe in Sydney or Mexico City again!)

This tour gets you to places you might not find on your own. Definately come hungry! I even revisited the San Jaun Market and the street food venue the next day!

We really had a wonderful time. It was a highlight of our trip. It gave us a chance to see the old center of town and try local food.

This food tour was excellent! Our guide, Jimena, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the many stores and markets, and of course the food! She took extra time with our group to explain every dish, and was bright and friendly the entire time. Highly recommended!* *Note: don't make dinner plans after this tour. You won't be hungry

Great host (Jossie), she didn’t only take us to excellent places but also included historical facts and interesting info about the city.

Make sure this food tour is the ONE you choose! Such a tremendous experience and so worth every Peso!! we went to seven different locations to die on authentic cuisine ranging from street food to cloth napkin and along the way were given the history and stories of the community. Highly recommend! And our guide Jimena was gracious, funny, and full of knowledge!

If you’re looking for a great way to experience Mexico City, this food and history tour is a must. The five-hour tour flew by, with plenty of stops and generous portions at each one. We got to try an incredible variety of authentic local foods, including stepping well outside our comfort zone by sampling insects, which turned out to be a fun and memorable experience! Our guide, Angel, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so much history and local insight that made every stop even more meaningful. His passion for the city really came through, and he made everyone feel welcome throughout the tour. We couldn’t recommend this tour, or Angel, more highly. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City!

The Mexico City food tour was fantastic! Every stop offered something unique and delicious, and our guide Jimena shared fascinating stories about the city’s history and food culture. It was the perfect way to experience authentic local flavors. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mexico City!

Fantastic tour led by Jimena, she was so knowledgeable about the area and the food was a diverse mix of local specialities. The group was small and friendly and I am still full as I sit waiting for my flight home to London! Thank you so much for such a great afternoon.
