Description
Mexico City Street Food: A Beginner’s Guide takes you into the heart of the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood, home to Mexico City’s stock exchange and its various foreign embassies. With so many hungry office workers—and dozens of outdoor stands to feed them—it’s a perfect place to explore the city’s vibrant street food scene. Besides eating, you’ll meet the vendors and learn their stories, and uncover rich facts about Mexican food and culture from your expert guide. Our stops can vary depending on the day, but some highlights on this tour include: Tlacoyos, Squash-Flower Burritos, Tacos de Carnitas and Cemitas. Plus several more items!
