"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. 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. 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. You don't have to be a foodie to do this tour; just come to to experience the true flavors of a city." - Scarlett Lindeman
