We’ll meet at Food Hood Tours Mexico, where we’ll grab our bikes and start our taco adventure, pedaling from one taquería to another and tasting some of the best tacos recommended by the Michelin guide.
As we ride through two of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods, we’ll try traditional tacos taken to the next level. Each taco has its own story, and we’ll share these anecdotes as we move from place to place. We’ll stop at four Michelin-recommended taquerías, each offering a unique experience.
Before heading back, we’ll surprise you with a fifth taco—our taco surprise that we believe will soon make the Michelin list.
At the end, we’ll enjoy a traditional neighborhood michelada while sharing tips for your trip in Mexico, giving you a true taste of local culture.
Important note: We don’t visit the Michelin-starred taquería, as the wait is around 2 hours and they don’t take reservations.
First things first, let's drop the formalities! We're among friends here, sharing our home—Mexico City—in a fun and respectful way. At this point, we'll check out our bikes and helmets while chatting a bit to break the ice. Get ready for a laid-back, friendly vibe as we embark on this adventure together!
We start the tour at a taquería famous for its tacos de guisado, which are basically main dishes served as a taco—just the way we love them here in Mexico City. Prepared just like a Mexican grandmother would make them and accompanied by homemade salsas, you'll enjoy an authentic Mexican flavor while learning about the history behind these tacos.
At our second stop, we’re heading to some fancier tacos. While tacos are usually made with corn or wheat tortillas, this stop takes a different approach. In fact, the taco is quite basic, but it has a flavor that we’ve only tasted here. We’ve decided it’s what makes this taco unique, and it’s a must-try!
At our third stop, we’ll chill at Parque México to soak in the vibrant vibes of Mexico City and learn what life is all about in this neighborhood. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the scenery, and discover the rich culture and stories that make this area so special. Get ready to dive into the local scene!
At this stop, we’ll dive into a taco with a unique adobo that sets it apart from the rest. Tacos al pastor are a true gem in Mexico City, and this place really stands out. They’ve got a salsa that you absolutely need to try, and the story of how it all began is so authentic and traditional that you won’t want to miss hearing it!
At this point we will to take a quick break to make room for more tacos later. Let’s explore the bohemian neighborhood of Roma and learn a bit about its history and what to do here. We’ll share some tips on what to do in this area with you.
Next, we'll continue with more tacos, of course! Now that we have more room, we’re heading to a spot that caught our attention with its unique flavors, very much in the style of northern Mexico.
At this point, you’ll probably be quite satisfied, but there’s always room for one more taco. This taco might not be on the Michelin recommendations list yet, but we believe it could easily make it soon. Its flavor is incredibly rich and unique. We’d love to share it with you, but it’s up to you if you still have some room!
Now we’re back at the starting point where we stored our bikes. By now, we know each other better, and to properly say goodbye, we’ll enjoy a michelada just like we make it in the neighborhood. It’s quite different from the versions you might know from other countries. Plus, we’ll share some personal tips on what to do in the city during your visit.
