Eat Like a Local – Tour Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Tell us a bit about this tour operator. Eat Like a Local, a Mexico City–based company, runs culinary tours that immerse visitors in the city's vast food scene. With a maximum of six people, the tours (which cover street food and markets) feel intimate and casual. Who tends to attend? These tours attract a diverse crowd of travelers united by their common love of food. Although there's some walking, the destinations are sometimes accessed by Uber. How is the guide? Rocio has long been a food blogger, and her knowledge about Mexico City's food scene is on point. She's also passionate about connecting tourists with locals, and impacting Mexico City in a positive, sustainable way. There's a set itinerary, but she's flexible—so go on, order another mezcal or pork carnitas, if you like. What should we know before booking? Costing $100 and up, these tours aren't cheap. But they still feel like a good value. Rocio ensures all the food vendors are paid fairly and has created a social program that injects funds into various local initiatives, including a kids' education program. Why would you recommend it, and who for? You don't have to be a foodie to do this tour; just come to to experience the true flavors of a city." - Mary Holland

We did the San Rafael & Tacuba Market tour with Plaqueta, and it was the highlight of our trip to Mexico City. She immediately felt like a friend—warm, funny, and full of great stories (and yes, her tattoos are amazing). The tacos were, of course, incredible, but the real surprise was how much history and cultural insight we got along the way. Plaqueta knew everything! From the design of the Metro system to the legendary Bauhaus show at the Cine Opera. Be warned: it’s a lot of food! I’d recommend splitting a few tacos with a friend or partner. If you’re visiting CDMX, do this tour at the beginning of your trip—it’s the perfect way to get oriented and inspired for the days ahead.

My family and I had a great time on the "Street Food at Night" tour with our amazing guide, Ale. She is an outstanding tour guide. She was informative, engaging, and made it feel as if we were being taken around CDMX by a cool, new friend. The food was so delicious. At first, I was concerned about eating "street food" but got over it after the first stop (amazing tortas). We ate a couple of Michelin-starred restaurants during our stay in CDMX, but I honestly tell you that this food tour with Ale, away from the tourist areas, was a more authentic (and, for me, better) culinary experience. Highly recommend!

We had a great time on the San Rafael and Tacuba Market tour. Every stop had incredible food with warm hosts. Plaqueta was one of the best tour guides we’ve had around the world. She’s funny, knowledgeable, and a great person. She shared left over food with those less fortunate and seems to be a local celebrity with several folks stopping her to say hi. We will recommend eat like a local to all of our friends who come to Mexico City.

We did the Mexican 101 tour with Carla and it was phenomenal. Definitely the highlight of our trip and some of the best food we tasted throughout our whole trip! Carla was super knowledgable and took great care of us. She was super detailed and truly made the experience worthwhile!

We did the Mexican Food 101 tour on our second day in CDMX, and it completely blew us away! The food was amazing, we could have multiple portions of whatever we wanted, and Plaqueta, our tour guide, was able to answer all our questions and give us more insight into the city and ethical tourism in CDMX. It was also my birthday, and I was surprised with a sweet birthday treat at the end, which was a delicious surprise (:

This food tour was one of the highlights of my trip. It was my first time visiting Mexico City and I wanted to avoid supporting overly gentrified touristy spots. I’m so glad I found this tour. It was a great way to know the city, its history and its amazing culinary heritage. Everything we ate was delicious and truly authentic. My favorite dishes were the mixiote tacos and the green chorizo tacos. I loved talking to the vendors, knowing firsthand the history behind their food and businesses. If you’re traveling solo, it’s also a great activity to do, as you can get to know other travelers as well. My favorite thing about Eat Like a Local is definitely the ethics of their business: it’s female-owned, they support and empower young women from some of the markets we visit, and make sure they are working with local vendors and suppliers that will keep the money in their communities. This is definitely my #1 recommendation for anyone visiting Mexico City, especially if you are traveling for a short time, because you will get to see a lot of the city and experience the best food in half a day. Go with an empty stomach, comfortable walking shoes and a good attitude!

My family had such a great tour with Plaqueta through the streets of Mexico City. Plaqueta was a great guide and provided a lot of interesting information along the way. It was clear that she cares about the neighborhoods that we visited and how food connects people to the city. The pulque tastings and tacos were great. She had great recommendations for the adults and successfully encouraged out kid to try new things… including tripe and tongue. a great success

My friends and I went on the market tour last week and it was truly an amazing experience! Lorenza was our guide and she did a great job. It is a MUST for anyone looking to experience the culture and see the city. 10/10 experience and the food was OUTSTANDING!

One of the best tours I've been and I've done a lot. Elisa was our guide and she took around Mexico City and its markets for special food tour. It really felt like we were being guided by a local friend of her favorite places to eat--not touristy at all. Some of the highlights of the tour included barbacoa breakfast tacos, chorizo verde tacos, and corn cheesecake. These were things I would have never found on my own. Also I'm really impressed that this is a women run business and they give back to their community by helping girls who grow up in the markets to learn English, make money giving tours of their markets, and seek educational and economic opportunities. The care they put into their employees and the girls is reflected in the quality of the tours. Do not miss this tour if you come to Mexico City!

Look no further and book with Eat Like a Local! We had a 5 hour food tour with Lorenza and Wendy and they were able to accommodate a private tour with 9 of us girls for my bachelorette. This was definitely a highlight of our trip. All of the food was curated really well and we tried a variety of tacos, snacks, fruits, drinks, insects, candy, and more! We had some of the best bites on this tour during our entire trip. I felt safe with our tour guides especially being able to ride in the women and children area of the subway. I already want to book them for the night tour. Eat Like a Local Mexico food tour was amazing! You should book ASAP!

One of the best food tours I have ever taken. We usually do food tours in every city we visit when we are on vacation. It always gives us a pulse on the culture and the people of the region. Panda was our guide and see was just amazing. She was open to everyones needs in the group. She added fresh coconuts to the tour when I mentioned those were my favorite, asked if anyone wanted seconds at every stop. It felt more like a friend taking you out to show you the food and city than a tour.

I'm not even lying when I say this one of my favorite, most memorable tours I've ever been on. The entire tour felt like I with one of friends showing me around her favorite local spots and honestly enjoyed every single part of the experience. Every spot that Panda took the group to was full of flavor and the people running them were even better! Words can't do it justice, but just know that if you choose to go on this tour, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again to Panda and the Eat Like a Local team :)

Had a fantastic experience with our guide Carla. We did the day tour and saw and ate a ton of food. Definitely not something you would do on your own. Highly recommend!

This was definitely a highlight of our time in Mexico City. Clarissa was a fantastic tour guide and it was wonderful to explore some of the larger markets in her experienced hands. Pace yourself because there is SO much delicious food that you will not want to miss out!

Do not miss this cultural and culinary adventure, Rocio is an amazing guide, just pace yourself on the food, there is a lot of it. Great way to spend your first day in Mexico City learning about the food, history, neighborhoods and culture.
