Itinerary
1
Parque México
We begin near Parque México in the heart of Condesa with a quick introduction to Mexico City's taco culture before heading to the first stop. Mexico City has thousands of taquerías, but locals know the best tacos often live in the most unexpected places. This tour is about finding those.
10 minutes

Condesa
Our first taco introduces one of the most famous flavors in the city: al pastor. Pork slowly spins on a vertical trompo, caramelizing as it cooks. The meat is shaved directly onto a tortilla and topped with pineapple, onion, and salsa. You'll also try a gringa, a local favorite that melts cheese and pastor together in a way that makes people instantly understand why Mexico City takes tacos so seriously.st

Hipodromo Condesa
Next we try one of the city's most humble street foods: tacos de canasta. These tacos are prepared early in the morning and kept warm in a basket as vendors travel through the city feeding workers, students, and anyone who needs a quick, comforting bite. Simple ingredients, incredible flavor, and a tradition that has been part of daily life in Mexico City for decades.
20 minutes

Condesa
Next we try one of Mexico’s most iconic traditions: barbacoa. The meat is slow cooked for hours until it becomes incredibly tender and deeply flavorful. Traditionally prepared in underground pits, barbacoa has been part of Mexican cooking for generations. Served simply on a tortilla with salsa and lime, it is the kind of taco locals grow up eating on weekends.

Condesa
Next we try tacos built around picaña, a cut of beef known for its rich flavor and perfect fat cap. These tacos keep things simple so the meat can shine, showing how sometimes the best tacos are the ones that let great ingredients speak for themselves.

Roma Norte
We finish the tour with seafood tacos and mezcal, bringing a fresh and vibrant ending to the experience. Bright citrus, ocean flavors, and a final toast of mezcal make the perfect way to wrap up the night.
