On this tour, you’ll discover the origin of the most iconic culinary creation in Mexican cuisine: the taco. We’ll take you from the most authentic local spot to a taquería recognized by the Michelin Guide, in a carefully curated selection of places representing different regions of the country, from Yucatán specialties like cochinita pibil to the legendary taco árabe, the starting point of Mexico’s taco tradition.

We’ll explore hidden corners and neighborhoods far from the tourist circuit, where authentic flavors remain untouched by commercial chains. Each visit will be an opportunity to enjoy fresh ingredients, learn about ancestral techniques, and hear stories that reveal the historical and cultural background of each specialty, including the juiciest trompo al pastor.

Simply amazing

It wasn’t just tacos. It wasn’t just a normal free tour. It was an experience, and a complete one too! Jesus was our guide, he told us many interesting facts about CDMX and Mexico in general, about it’s coulture and history. All of it with a taco in hand. It has been an amazing experience, really raccomended!!

Yummy!

We had a wonderful time navigating the neighborhood of Narvarte with our guide, who provided great insight into the history of Mexico City through tacos.

Javier and Tacos!

What an amazing experience. I got to try tacos that the locals love with a locals perspective and someone who's an expert in the history. Javier is someone anyone would be lucky to know in life and, if he's guiding you on a tour you're in amazing hands.
