Good to know
Sabores México Food Tours runs small-group food tours in Mexico City and in Mérida in the Yucatán. In the capital its walks cover the Centro Histórico, Coyoacán, Roma and Condesa, and each tour is built around a theme, so you can choose one that fits the neighbourhood you want to explore and the kind of food you most want to try.
Tales and Tastings: Charming Roma Norte Food Tour is set in Roma Norte, the neighbourhood of many of the restaurants and cafés in this guide. Our Unmissable Mexico City Taco Tour: Taco Beats and Mezcal Sips focuses on tacos with mezcal along the way, and it is a good option for an evening. Secrets and Spice: A Hidden Foodie Adventure in Mercado de Jamaica heads to the Mercado de Jamaica, the market that Eat Mexico also visits for its Day of the Dead tour. The company also runs special events, such as a Boho Feast in Coyoacán, so check the website for occasional dates.
Tours are run in small groups, and private and corporate tours can be arranged for families, friends or work groups. The company has phone numbers for Mexico and a toll-free line for callers in the United States and Canada, as well as a WhatsApp line, which makes it easy to ask questions before you book. Prices are published on the website for each tour.
As with any food tour, arrive hungry, wear comfortable shoes and tell the company about allergies or dietary restrictions when you book, so the guide can plan alternatives at each stop. Tours are a practical way to try a wide range of dishes in one go, and they help first-time visitors learn what to order and where.
Sabores México suits first-time visitors, couples and small groups of friends. The Roma Norte tour fits naturally with a stay in Roma or Condesa, and if you are staying in the historic centre, the general route also covers the Centro Histórico. The Mercado de Jamaica tour suits travellers who enjoy markets, and the taco tour suits anyone who wants an evening out with a local guide. Mérida's tours are a good follow-up if you are continuing to the Yucatán.
