Be willing to try local recommendations and enjoy experiencing some of the best spots in the area. Be sure to have a ready appetite
Totally satisfied, what this guy does not know about Mexican cuisine, and tacos in particular, is not worth knowing. You get to test everything and then some in the very best places you would certainly need weeks to locate. Very good value. Thank I know Tacos.
Great tacos! I have taken food tours all over and this one was awesome. The guide was engaging and friendly
The perfect trip to take if you want to try the best tacos from the hidden gems in CDMX. Agus frescas and the bakery stop was a great bonus between the tacos. Great guide, was super polite and knowledgeable. We stopped to taste some incredible mescal at a local bottle shop. Would recommend for everyone just arriving to CDMX and wanting an afternoon tasting great local food. He also gave us tips of what other places to try (1 Michelin star one, see photo).
