The 27 Best Things to Do in Mexico City

"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

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 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 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.

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! We did it on our first full day in Mexico City, and it turned out to be such a good move. The whole experience was extremely well thought out, engaging, and informative. It’s a food tour, but our guide shared so many personal stories and knowledge about the city that we all left feeling more confident and excited to explore more of the city afterwards. It was also evident that everybody that worked with the team was very supportive of each other, the community, and the company. If you’re looking for a tour that is rooted in the community it operates in, this is it.

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 (:

Easily one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Over 4 hours plus our small group (5 people) explored places we’d never have stumbled across on our own and enjoyed an incredible tasty and varied selection of local delicacies (where else would I have the option to try pork brain quesadillas?). Plaqueta was a wonderful guide - enthusiastic, friendly and full of local knowledge. It was particularly great to hear her own personal connections to the places we visited. On top of that Eat Like a Local is evidently a thoughtful, progressive business determined to make a positive difference to people’s lives. ¡Muchas gracias!

I can not recommend this tour enough! Our tour guide, Plaqueta, genuinely set the perfect tone for our entire trip to CDMX. The focus on visiting generationally family owned business truly made our experience not only exciting but also assured us that we were putting our money exactly where we would want it go. Plaqueta's EXTENSIVE knowledge of history, food politics, and the incredible food choices were perfect. Not only did we enjoy our tour, but Plaqueta also sent us a list of recommends for the rest of our time in the city, and everything we had a chance to visit/drink/eat/do from that list really made our visit so much more enjoyable. We had a mix of dietary restrictions and preferences in our group of 5 (we did a private tour), and they were all accommodated so well. Take this tour! You will not regret it!

We had the best time eating and drinking our way around Mexico City with Plaqueta and Montse! They were knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely funny. It was the perfect way to kick off our 10-day visit. Every vendor we stopped at was welcoming, and the food was fantastic—even the fried bugs, lol! We highly recommend Eat Like a Local to anyone looking for a small group experience with personable, engaging guides.

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!

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.
