Club Tengo Hambre – Food Tours

Ok, so this was money well spent and will definitely be doing it again. My wife and I scheduled a review with Alejandra in Mexico City to go on a taco tour through the most amazing market. Alejandra was perfect, full of incite and took us to the most amazing spots you’d never find online. We honestly wanted to do another tour the next day, highly suggest and a customer for life!

My brother and I took the Mexico City After Dark tour on the first night of our 8 day trip to Mexico City recently and enjoyed every moment and every bite. Dani introduced us to spots that were clearly VERY popular with the locals and made sure to recommend what to order to have the best experience - and she was right every time. I may now be ruined for any tacos not enjoyed while standing on the street in Mexico City, but it was worth it! Warning: you will get A LOT to eat so come ready.

We did a tour through the Merced Market with Patricio. A highlight of our trip for certain. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the food and the different stands and most importantly he was clearly friends with all of the people at the places we visited. It made for a very warm and inviting experience. Would not hesitate to recommend this very unique experience to anyone who visits Mexico City. The food was incredible and it was a wonderful part of our trip.

Had a wonderful time walking around Centro with our guide Dani, she showed us a wide variety of tacos and had a broad knowledge of the area, culture, and food!

Incredible tour! Our tour guide, Fernanda, was absolutely lovely and knowledgeable about the food and market. She knew all the vendors personally! Highly recommend this tour early during your time in Mexico City as they have great recommendations!

I found Club Tengo Hambre (CTH) from a YouTube video I watched of best tacos in Mexico City. I cross referenced CTH on other travel sites and saw how highly rated the company was. I booked the "Essentials" Mexico City street taco tour, but they had other street taco tours including one for after hours, one in a Mercado, and other spots around city. Our tour guide was Natalia, and she was the best! Getting to the meeting spot was a bit of a challenge due to a march going through downtown, so Natalia contacted me immediately to coordinate a different way of meeting with the group. She has a culinary background and is a food writer, so she had a wealth of knowledge about Mexican tradition and culture through the lens of food. I appreciated how mindful she was of my pork aversion. She helped provide alternatives for places that served pork so that I could try things within my dietary preferences. Pro tips: skip on breakfast and go to the tour hungry. The tour went above and beyond I expected. I knew that 6 taco stops were part of the tour, but we had a break at a pulqueria and a churreria. It's a lot of food in a 3-hour span. What's also cool about the tour was that we tried 6 different kinds of tacos. My personal favorites were the tacos from Los Provolones (1st stop), deep fried chile relleno taco from the 2nd stop, and tlacoyos from the 3rd stop. The tlacoyos were particularly unique as they were blue corn tortillas stuffed with fava beans and topped with nopales (cactus) and cheese.

Had a delightful time on the Taco Tour in CDMX, largely due to our guide, Dani. Her down to earth approach and great sense of fun truly enhanced our culinary adventure. If you're looking for an authentic and enjoyable experience, Dani's the one to go with!

The Oaxaca City tour is a must. 10 of us thoroughly enjoyed everything we saw and ate. Valeria, our guide, was terrific. She has curated the best Oaxaca street food has to offer. Thank you, Valeria. We have been back and visited the stands you took us to on the tour!

TAKE. THIS. TOUR. If like me, one of the primary draws of Mexico City is the legendary dining and culinary options, then I do suggest that you start your trip with a street food tour and you book it with the the amazing Club Tengo Hambre. At three to four hours and with as many as 8 visits to a wide variety of street food options, it's truly a bargain. My particular visit was a tour of the Centro Historico neighborhood and because of Mariana - our amazing guide - the tour became so much more than an exploration of the amazing street food of Mexico City. I walked away with a much better understanding about the history of the neighborhood, the culture of Mexico City, and the country's food systems. Tour highlights include: 1. Stops at best street food options among the thousands in Mexico City - especially for quality of ingredients and food safety - that highlights a solid range of traditional street foods; 2. Visits to traditional markets ranging from exclusive places where Mexico City's top chefs source their top quality ingredients (you'll get to sample exotic fruits and other items from Mexico's bounty) to places popular for their food stalls that are packed to the gills (more sampling, of course); and 3. Time spent touring a complex and intimidating neighborhood with a fantastic guide and with a small group of other food lovers. The street food tour and time spent with Club Tengo Hambre is a highlight of a visit to Mexico City. Try to schedule this tour as early as possible in your trip. I recommend this for a few reasons. First, it's best to begin a trip to Mexico City by visiting the oldest part of the City and the tour takes you to the Centro Historico and hits many of the key sites. Next, especially if you are any sort of food tourist, it's great to start with street food, which is really represents the heart of a city's culinary scene. The history, markets, and street food helped contextual later visits to places like Pujol, Quintonil, and Amaya. Finally, you'll hit some amazing vendors and it's best to know about them early in your trip to allow you to go back for more.

I can't speak for anyone else's experience, but my husband and I had the absolute best tour and food with our guide Mariana Gomez. I honestly believe that Mariana's expertise, friendliness, knowledge and passion allowed us to truly appreciate and enjoy the heart of this beautiful city. We had tons of questions and she was so amazing and patient answering every one. Meeting the local vendors individually and tasting their specialties really immersed us into the flavor of the culture. Also, we had the pleasure of having CTH guide Valeria with us who will soon be leading tours in Oaxaca. CTH truly made our trip to CDMX very special.

Friendly and knowledgeable host Fernando led a wonderful tour through some of Centro's food highlights. We enjoyed many tacos: al pastor, tripe and brisket ("campechano con todo"), and wonderful quash blossoms (on handmade blue corn tortillas) at different street stands and small holes-in-the-wall. A visit to Mercado San Juan included tasting a variety of fresh fruits not easily found in the States. A pulqueria with loud punk music was also a fun stop. Highly recommend this for adventurous eaters seeking an introduction to what Mexico City has to offer

What can I say!! It seems 5 stars is not enough! My husband and I paid extra for the private taco tour and we were blessed to get the lovely, knowledgeable, and amazing Monica!! The tacos were indescribably delicious, the stories about these families were awe inspiring, the tour and tastes of the market were unforgettable! Not only did we fall in love with Mexico City but we will book this tour every time we return!! Do not miss out on this experience!!

LOVED. THIS. TOUR. We signed up for this tour as a fun part of our June honeymoon in Mexico City. It was a delightful way to see the historic center and experience amazing street food. We never would have visited these places without our great guide. She tooks us to 9 locations (including 2 markets), helped us understand more about local life and the connection to food. We ate a million tacos (all good), fresh mango, flavored crickets and juicy ants. Really great murals and street art popped up around most corners. My wife is a foodie, I like to eat and adventure - we were both very happy. One warning - take your most comfortable walking shoes. You will be moving around a lot.

The WORST experience ever!!! Me and the wife booked a private food tour on November 24 2016 at 11am. We were suppose to meet with a person named "Jason" in front of the Bella Artes steps. 40 mins has passed and no one showed up. You recommend people to skip breakfast and make them wait because the food tour will be worth it? This is completely UNPROFESSIONAL!! We will never do business with this "company" any more nor I will recommend it to my friends and family.
