About this experience
After trying hundreds of taco restaurants we've carefully selected 3 of our favorites for this tour! Break away from the tourists and come with us to experience the locals hidden gems! We'll take you through the city visiting each restaurant with each having its own signature taco!
Yes! There will be LOTS of beer, LOTS of succulent sauces and even Tequila! We will also make a final stop to try the best dessert in the region (if you can fit it in)
Our goal? To bring people together to experience new things, try new foods, and become immersed in the Mexican culture. To break free from the comfort of the hotels and touristic areas and experience real local flavors in areas you would never find on your own!

Detailed itinerary
1
At our first stop experience a fusion of crispy, golden-brown tempura battered prawn and fish tacos. The prawns are plump and juicy, while the fish is tender and flavorful, creating a perfect balance of textures and tastes. Choose from a variety of succulant sauces to enhance your tacos flavour.
2
For our second stop, try up to 4 Mexico City style tacos. THE ORIGINAL TACOS. Choose from a wide variety of tacos, such as tender beef, spicy chorizo, juicy pastor, even golden fried intestines just to name a few. All nestled in warm, soft corn tortillas topped with fresh onion and coriander.
To elevate the tacos to the next level, a side of habanero guacamole is served, adding a fiery kick and creamy texture to the meal!
3
We've saved our favorite taco for our third stop! Arabe Tacos!
Arabe Tacos are a delightful fusion of Middle Eastern and Mexican culinary traditions. The tacos feature thinly sliced marinated pork reminiscent of shawarma or gyro meat served in a warm, soft pita style bread. Don't forget to top up your taco with their house made sauces (Creamy Garlic, Chipotle, Spicy Habanero or Tangy Tamarind)
4
Our final stop will be to try the best dessert in the region, THE MARQUESITA. Personalize your marquesita to exactly the way you like it!
