Description
Narvarte is known throughout Mexico City for its tacos, and we’ll kick off the tour with a visit to a neighborhood taquería that specializes in volcanes, a type of crispy tortilla cooked on a charcoal flame, smothered in cheese and poblano peppers. From there we’ll try tacos al pastor—picture a big outdoor roasting spit, shooting flames—and suadero tacos from vendors who’ve been in the neighborhood for decades. We’ll visit a lively cantina to learn more about Mexico City cantina culture, where we’ll toss back a chela, slang for cold beer, or a cocktail if you wish. And we’ll finish by trying a flight of small-batch, artisanal mezcals in a cozy neighborhood restaurant, part of a private mezcal tasting led by a local chef and expert. If you want a tour that combines food, culture, and drinks, this is not to be missed!

A Must Do
A REALLY fun night. Got to experience a local cantina with a local, which we would never have been able to do otherwise. Had some fantastic tacos at places that I would have been afraid of trying on my own, and I will note that other than over eating, everyone avoided any tummy problems. Fernando was our guide and we learned more about food than I have in a long time, and had a lot of laughs and a great time as well. Lastly, the Mezcal tasting was fantastic. Again, I learned more about Tequila, and Mezcal, than I could have ever learned anywhere else. We liked this evening more than our night at Pujol.

Come hungry — tacos, mezcal, and great history
Lots of great food, come hungry! Our guide walked us through several stops for tacos and local specialties, sharing a lot of great history about the neighborhood and its food along the way. The mezcal tasting at the end was a fantastic way to wrap things up. Great pacing and every stop was worth it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a real taste of the area.

Fun and Informative Evening
This food tour did not disappoint. Adrian is such a warm and friendly guide, who is so clearly passionate about the culinary arts and eager to share his knowledge. The food was fantastic and they were very accommodating to my vegetarian preferences. 10/10 experience.

Thank you for recommending our tours. Narvarte is an area we love exploring at night because of its great selection of tacos and its friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It's even better to do the tour with one of our expert culinary guides, like Adrian.

Rain or Shine
"We did the Narvarte at Night food tour last night and it was such a vibe. We wandered through a real local neighborhood, hitting up taquerías for the best street tacos — like juicy al pastor from a flaming spit and crispy volcanes loaded with cheese and peppers. The rain didn't stop us — it just added to the atmosphere, making the whole experience feel even more authentic and cozy. Adrian, our guide, was super knowledgeable about the food, the culture, and everything in between. We ended with a private mezcal tasting that was just incredible — smooth, smoky flavors paired with little appetizers. Perfect way to experience real Mexico City at night, rain and all."

Thank you for your review. It's true that Mexico City's weather can be quite unpredictable, so we recommend carrying a small umbrella and dressing in layers. We're so glad you enjoyed these authentic tacos and the mezcal tasting.

A taste sensation of tacos and Mezcal
Adrian provided an awesome experience , tasting four different types of tacos - each one unique and delicious, and finishing off with an expert mezcal tasting. This tour has ruined us for NA tacos! Highly recommend this experience.

Great food tour and guide!
We had a wonderful food tour with Nico through Navarte, ending with a really insightful mescal tasting experience with Wen. The food was tasty but we also really enjoyed the history and background and Nico was brilliant company! I would recommend this tour highly!
