Itinerario
Santa María la Ribera fue fundada en la década de 1860 y aún conserva su carácter de fin de siglo. En este recorrido, diseñado por nuestro guía culinario experto Nico García, visitará una variedad de lugares locales que resaltan cuán especial es este vecindario. Te detendrás en un bonito jardín local, donde harás tu propia sal mexicana con infusión de hierbas. Visitará una fábrica de tamales en funcionamiento que ofrece más de 20 variedades diarias, un lugar que creemos que ofrece los mejores tamales de la ciudad. Además, darás un paseo rápido por el mercado local para ver cómo se ve y se siente un mercado tradicional de la ciudad. Ingresarás a una escuela y restaurante de cocina del vecindario que ayuda a los locales que quieran comenzar sus propios negocios de comida. Y pasarás por una pulquería escondida, un lugar con puertas batientes y sin señal, que atrae a los residentes del vecindario por más de 100 años, cada uno de los cuales toma la bebida mexicana fermentada que tiene sus raíces en los tiempos prehispánicos. También verás algunos de los puntos de referencia que hacen de Santa María la Ribera lo que es, incluido un museo de geología centenario. Como un dulce regalo, también probaremos buñuelos, o masa crujiente y frita cubierta con jarabe de azúcar.

Our guide, Toti was wonderful. She was engaging, very knowledgeable and willing to entertain all of our questions with detailed and thoughtful answers. All of the food and drinks we tried were fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
Hi Claire. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your tour in Santa María la Ribera. It's a hidden gem that we love for its architecture and the incredible variety of food it offers. Toti has a way of sharing her enthusiasm when answering questions during the tours.
We booked our food tour through Eat Mexico and had at the time of the booking requested Clara Hernandez as our guide. So glad that we did - Clara was amazing, patient, friendly, generous and ever so knowledgeable. We had communicated our preferences at the time of booking and Clara had undertaken thorough research on what would be appropriate for us given we had undertaken food tours previously in Mexico City. The highlight for me was trying pulque for the first time! Have no hesitation in recommending Clara or Eat Mexico!
Our tour with Nico was amazing! We learned so much about the cultural history that the food and neighborhood connect to. The pacing was perfect, and he was completely flexible in terms of now much we wanted to eat. Santa Maria de la Ribera is a charming area, and this tour will make you want to move there. Nico knows his food and we recommend him highly.
Guide Nico found us at the beautiful Kiosko morisco and so began a relaxing, informative, and well tailored tour for my friend and me. We learned so much from the highly educated Nico whose love of that particular community shown through. From our first taste of the Austrian inspired concha with nata, to the ancient fermented drink pulque, to the Market and delicious sheep barbacoa taco and soup, to tamales in both corn husk and banana leaf to a high end indigenous restaurant for a mocktail and appetizer—we learned about the history of the country and all the changes that have happened —all reflected in one great community—Sta Maria de la Ribera. Thank you, Nico!
I can’t say enough great things about this tour company, EAT MEXICO, and their tour guide, Nico. The company is made up of knowledgable, discerning food people who learned how to create enjoyable, informative and often revelatory tours. It’s most definitely NOT a bunch of tour guides who just learned to parrot a script. (Trust me. I have unfortunately taken a couple of package tours in CDMX and they are a drag.) These folks actually care. And that has turned us into repeat customers. Santa Maria Ribera was our third tour with the company. Nico is a superstar. He has such a pleasant, approachable, low key way of transmitting his boundless knowledge and leaving you feeling not only more connected to the place but also eager to learn more about the underground history and foodways of CDMX.
We had been recommended this tour and we weren’t disappointed. Our guide, Toti, was friendly and knowledgeable and was able to tailor the tour to our needs and wants. We tasted a wide range of Mexican foods in different types of outlets - street food, small cafes and a smarter bar to finish. We even tasted grasshoppers which were a revelation! Toti was also great at answering our many questions about things as diverse as Mexican history and politics, food preparation and driving in Mexico. Highly recommended
Highly recommend this tour with Toti and Clara! Super informative, fun, and delicious. This was my second tour with Eat Mexico and would use them again.
Toti & Clara were THE best. So knowledgeable and fun! They made special accomodations for food restrictions and allergies. The food was delicious and we left stuffed!
As luck would have it, it was just me on the tour. Fernando was excellent company as we ate a wide range of delicious food. My favorites were the banana leaf wrapped tamales at Tamales Cintli and the outstandingly delicious consumé at Casa Chacón. This was my 3rd tour with Eat Mexico. Highly recommend.
Really loved this tour of neighborhood food. We sampled different foods from street vendors, small shops and even some fine dining. There was plenty to eat, with generous servings, and extras tailored to our interests. Toti was a wonderful guide. She explained the history of the neighborhood and the food we tried. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. If you like to eat great food definitely add this one to your trip plans.
