When we came back from CDMX for the first time, and our friends and family asked us, “What were your highlights?”, the Eat like a Local Mexico tour led by Carla is top of the list. What can I say except that we left full, with memories of flavours, textures and stories that we don’t think we could have gotten from anyone else.
From booking the experience while home in Canada, to meeting up with Carla and the rest of our group, to taking the subway together and navigating the second largest market in city: the entire tour is very well curated and organized. We felt safe, cared for, and left well fed! Carla made us laugh, introducing us to the taco de canasta that Don Antonio has been making and selling from the same corner for the past 35 years, while also indulging in our questions with curiosity, patience and warmth.
As they say on their Instagram, “don’t be an —hole.” Arrive with an open-mind, curiosity, and prepare to discuss whether beetles or cockroaches have more chew, and bring pesos because you’re definitely going to want to bring home a kilo or two of guava, soursop and passionfruit jellies!
