The adventure begins at Mercado 23, a vibrant local market where you'll sample two beloved classics of Mexican street food: Tamales and Atole. These are traditional snacks that come wrapped in corn husks and served with a variety of fillings. Next, you'll venture to La Polilla, a hidden gem that the locals love for its popular Tacos de Carnitas and refreshing drinks known as ‘jarritos.'

We'll stop by El Pocito next, where you'll sample ‘Panuchos de Cochinita Pibil,' a dish featuring crispy tortillas filled with slow-roasted spiced pork. Accompany your meal with a tangy fruit water, before heading to La Borrega to eat Tacos de Barbacoa – a melt-in-the-mouth classic. Finally, you'll stop by La Michoacana to round of the tour with Mexican popsicles, known as ‘paletas.' Your guide will give you the lowdown on Mexico's gastronomic heritage, provide you with insight and context, and send you home with recipes, so you can recreate your favourite flavours in the future.
