Eat Mexico

Eat Mexico Join our small, curated Mexican food + history tours that honor Mexican culture We also offer tours in Puebla. Each tour is given by a bilingual, local guide.

Founded in 2010, Eat Mexico is the first tourism company in Mexico City to offer tours of the city’s street food and markets. Customers can choose from six routes: Street Food, Regional Tacos, Markets, Sunday Tianguis, A Journey Through La Merced, and Late Night Tacos and Mezcal. Most tours run about 4 hours long, and they’re designed for small groups of 1 to 6 people. Eat Mexico’s goal is to teach customers what most people in Mexico City and Puebla really eat. Our customers taste freshly prepared foods from stands and fondas across Mexico City — and they learn about how each item is prepared, its history, and its importance and role in local culture. By the end of our tours, our clients are full and happy, and they’ve learned something they can share with their friends back home. Eat Mexico has served hundreds of tourists from all over the world. We’re also on Facebook, Twitter and Trip Advisor. The business was founded in July 2010 by Lesley Téllez, an American expat based in Mexico City, and Jesica López Sol, a chilanga who moved to Mexico City when she was nine years old. Lesley is currently Eat Mexico’s sole owner and executive director.

Consider this your official reminder that your Mexico City trip is not going to book itself. Tacos, markets, mezcal, neighborhoods you haven’t explored yet, and enough Mexican food to make you reconsider your return flight, are just a few clicks away. And when you finally make it here, let us show you the Mexico City worth traveling to through its food, culture and the people who know it best.

Visiting Mexico City in September? You picked a very good time to come hungry.

This is the season of chiles en nogada, pozole, antojitos, esquites and more of the dishes that make Mexico’s Independence celebrations taste like… well, Mexico. The best part isn’t just trying them, it’s knowing why they’re here, how Mexicans enjoy them and the stories behind what’s on your plate. If Mexico City is on your September itinerary, let Eat Mexico show you the city through its food, people and traditions. You picked the best month to come. Let us show you the Mexico you came all this way to discover.

That’s where the real story begins.

You might come to Mexico City remembering the tacos. But we hope you remember the people, too. Because behind the food you travel thousands of miles to try, there are hands that have made the same recipes hundreds of times.

Family businesses.
Neighborhood institutions.
Vendors who know their regulars by name.
Stories that don’t fit on a menu.

Mexican food isn’t just something you taste. It’s something people keep alive, every single day. And when you explore Mexico City with us, we want you to meet the city behind the plate.

You can save a hundred places on Google Maps before coming to Mexico City, but a recommendation can tell you where to go, but it can’t always tell you what you’re looking at once you get there.

Why does this dish matter?
Why is it made this way?
What should you order?
Where did that ingredient come from?
And what does any of it tell you about Mexico?

That’s the difference between finding good food and understanding the culture behind it. Our culinary tours are led by local guides who walk you through Mexico City’s food, history and traditions in your language, with the context you won’t find pinned on a map. Because the best way to discover Mexico City isn’t just knowing where to go.

There are Sundays you plan, and then there are Sundays you end up talking about for years.The ones where breakfast turns into a walk through a neighborhood you’d never even heard of, one taco becomes three, and someone tells you the story behind the dish you were about to eat without thinking twice. That’s the thing about Mexico City: the best parts aren’t always the ones you had saved on your map. Sometimes, you just need to follow someone who knows where to look. Come hungry. We’ll take care of the rest.

Aguas frescas are one of the most beloved parts of Mexican food culture. Made with fruits, flowers, grains, herbs, and other local ingredients, they’re refreshing, affordable, and deeply woven into everyday life across Mexico.

From bustling markets to neighborhood taquerías, aguas frescas are more than a drink, they’re a glimpse into the ingredients, traditions, and flavors that shape Mexican cuisine.

On our Mexico City food tours, we love introducing travelers to local favorites and helping them discover flavors they might never order on their own.

Mexico isn’t just a destination, it’s a culture best experienced through its food.

The good news?

You don’t have to be Mexican to experience Mexico like one.

At Eat Mexico, our Mexico City food tours are designed to take you beyond the guidebooks and tourist traps. We explore local neighborhoods, meet the people behind the food, and uncover the traditions that make Mexican cuisine one of the most celebrated in the world.

Because the best souvenirs aren’t things, they’re the stories, flavors, and memories you take home with you.

As the sun goes down, Mexico City comes alive. 🌙🥃

One of our favorite stops on the Narvarte at Night tour is a private mezcal tasting led by a local expert. It’s a chance to learn about the traditions, craftsmanship, and stories behind one of Mexico’s most iconic spirits, all while exploring a neighborhood locals love. The experience combines tacos, cantina culture, and a guided mezcal tasting designed to help travelers understand Mexico beyond the food alone.

Because the best travel memories aren’t just about what you taste, they’re about understanding where those flavors come from.

Have you ever tried mezcal?

🇲🇽 Join us for Narvarte at Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal.
