Mexico Off the Beaten Track: Street Food & Bikes — All Inclusive





Description
Discover the real Mexico City! Step out of the tourist bubble and explore neighborhoods that Mexicans love — Santa Maria la Ribera and San Rafael. These hidden gems are full of history, color, and everyday life that most travelers never see. Hop on a bike for a relaxed ride. We’ll break the ice tasting tamales, tacos, or drinks, depending on the tour time, while wandering markets, meeting food vendors, and seeing more Mexicans than tourists. Along the way, you’ll hear a darker side of Mexico, stories that reveal hidden struggles and secrets behind the city’s lively streets. Savor street food in San Rafael and explore Santa Maria la Ribera with authentic Oaxacan flavors. Finish with a sip of Pulque and a crisp michelada, experiencing the city in every bite and sip. By the end of the tour, you’ll see the love we have for this city — its people, its flavors, and its stories — and understand why Mexico City captures our hearts every single day.

"Here, we'll make a pit stop to discuss a highly controversial topic in Mexico, one that the mainstream media often neglects but deeply permeates the lives of Mexicans. We're committed to fighting for change and shedding light on this issue that remains largely unaddressed."
San Rafael, nestled near the Tabacalera district in Mexico City, is a captivating neighborhood that effortlessly blends urban charm with artistic flair. With its tree-lined streets and a lively mix of historic architecture and contemporary establishments, San Rafael offers a cool and eclectic atmosphere.
It is of art deco style, with a cover in which stand out two sculptures carved in stone showing the masks of comedy and tragedy. Behind them there is a large window that illuminated the lobby of the cinema. In its interiors it had luxurious furnishings and coverings such as bronze and crystal chandeliers and mirrored walls.
Santa Maria la Ribera features a mix of architectural styles, reflecting different periods of Mexico's history. The area showcases stunning examples of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and neoclassical buildings. One of the most iconic structures is the Kiosco Morisco, an ornate iron and glass gazebo reminiscent of the Moorish architectural style. The neighborhood is characterized by its wide, tree-lined streets and charming parks. One of the most popular green spaces is the Alameda de Santa Maria la Ribera, a park that offers a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors alike. The park is home to a large pond and various sculptures, providing a tranquil environment in the heart of the city.
The Kiosco Morisco is a kiosk, pavilion, located in the center of the Alameda, at the intersection of Dr. Atl and Salvador Díaz Mirón streets, in the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood, in Mexico City, being the symbol of the neighborhood, one of its most characteristic constructions and a meeting place for the community. "Additionally, we'll enjoy another mouthwatering dish to keep discovering the rich variety of Mexican cuisine. It's a chance to continue exploring and savoring the diverse flavors that make this culinary tradition so remarkable.
we'll make a stop to enjoy a refreshing local beverage called pulque, while we visit the Monument to the Revolution. Pulque, a traditional Mexican drink, adds a unique and authentic touch to our experience. It's a must-try for those seeking to immerse themselves in the local culture and savor the flavors that have been cherished for generations. So, get ready to raise a glass of pulque as we explore the grandeur of the Monument to the Revolution.
The Angel of Independence, an iconic landmark in Mexico City, stands tall and proud as a symbol of freedom and resilience. This majestic statue, situated on the elegant Paseo de la Reforma, represents Mexico's hard-fought struggle for independence. Its gleaming bronze figure, adorned with intricate details, serves as a constant reminder of the nation's history and the courage of its people. As we approach the Angel of Independence, we'll take a moment to appreciate its beauty and significance, while also enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of one of Mexico's most iconic avenues
The Cibeles Fountain, located in Mexico City, is a captivating landmark that exudes grace and elegance. Inspired by the original fountain in Madrid, Spain, it serves as a symbol of beauty and cultural exchange. As we approach the Cibeles Fountain, we'll be mesmerized by its intricate sculptural details and the serene atmosphere it creates. This enchanting spot offers a perfect respite from the bustling city, allowing us to appreciate its artistic charm and snap some memorable photos.
Before we say our goodbyes we will sit down for a refreshing michelada (alcoholic beverage), as we chat and share our recommendations for this sprawling metropolis!

Wonderful guides, bike ride and food. The guides provided a very well organized and safe adventure, while navigating the city streets and traffic. A great way to spend a Sunday morning in Mexico City.

Raul was absolutely fantastic I can’t believe how much was included Endless food and drinks! Great information
With Simon as my guide, this was an awesome tour. He made sure the tour was educational, safe and fun. The food was fantastic and the information Simon shared was more tasty than the food I’d eaten elsewhere in La Condensa. We finished the tour with a Michelada that was very refreshing.
Mario was a great tour guide. The food experience was good, but his knowledge of the different colinas were stupendous. I would highly recommend this tour for people have only spent time in the touristy areas of CDMX.
The tour was awesome! I had lots of fun seeing the city from the perspective of a bike. Mario pointed out lots of cool things and areas for us to keep an eye out for. We also tried the best barbacoa tacos! 10/10 would recommend.
The tour with Raúl was an absolute delight. His passion for Mexico City transformed the experience into an enchanting journey through hidden gems. Raúl's personalized guidance, coupled with delicious culinary discoveries, makes this tour a must-try for anyone looking to explore the city's vibrant streets and flavors. Highly recommend making the journey with Raúl for an unforgettable adventure.
A fantastic bike tour in CDMX! Rodrigo and Paxi, amazing guides. Cool stories, great safety. Rodrigo and Paxi are friendly and great storytellers. It was a tasty gem off the usual path. In short, fun, street eats, and authenticity. Highly recommend! Thanks for a great time, guys!
The tour was gorgeous. Although there is always lots of traffic in Mexico City I felt safe during the bike tour. Simon and Rodrigo, our guides, watched out every minute, they found beautiful places, told interesting stories and the food was amazing!!! It was my second tour with Foodhood and I am looking forward for the next one.
