Description du circuit
Mexico City is the best street food city in the world and the Centro Historico is where it is densest. This walk stays inside about twenty blocks built on the ruins of the Aztec capital.
We start at Mercado de San Juan, which is where the city's chefs shop: cheeses, chillies dried eight ways, edible flowers, chapulines, and a counter selling tortas that will ruin other sandwiches for you. Your guide walks you through the chilli wall, which is where understanding Mexican food actually begins.
Then tacos. Al pastor from a shop that has been carving it off the trompo since 1959, a technique Lebanese immigrants brought to Mexico in the 1930s and Mexico improved. Suadero and campechano from a stand that barely closes. Tlacoyos, the pre-Hispanic blue corn pockets stuffed with beans and cooked on a comal by a woman who has worked the same corner for years.
We finish with mole in a dining room that opened in 1912 and looks it, and churros with thick chocolate at a churreria that has been frying since 1935 and has never closed.
Small group, maximum 8 guests, entirely on foot.

Autres remarques
Runs daily at 10:00.
Altitude: Mexico City sits at about 2,240 metres. The walk is flat but you may find you tire faster than expected. Give yourself a day before booking.
We deliberately run this tour in the Centro Historico rather than Roma or Condesa. Those neighbourhoods are at the centre of a real and ongoing argument about gentrification and foreign residents, and we do not think a food tour should add to it. Our guides are from this city, we keep groups small, and we tip at local rates.
Water and ice: tap water is not drinkable. We provide bottled water. Ice at the established venues on this route is commercially purified; we avoid it at carts.
Cash: most stalls are cash only and cannot break large notes. Your guide pays for everything.
Closures: 15 and 16 September, 2 November and 12 December bring widespread closures and street shutdowns in the Centro. We will tell you if your date is affected.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead. Vegetarian is genuinely good here via tlacoyos, quesadillas with huitlacoche or flor de calabaza, and nopal.
About 2.5 km of walking on flat but crowded streets.
