Description
Discover the flavors of Mexico on a guided food tour in Roma Norte. Enjoy Michelin-guide tacos, discover ancestral dishes and learn about the country through its food.
Embark on a culinary journey through Roma Norte, one of Mexico City’s most exciting food districts. Begin with a Michelin-Guide barbacoa taco at a beloved local taquería, sip a cold beer, and learn how a pandemic-born kitchen became a modern institution.
Wander through La Romita, a historic enclave where Mexico City began to take shape, and uncover stories of revolutions, migrations, and the families who shaped the neighborhood.
Continue with a creative twist on Mexican street food at a Michelin-recognized modern taquería, where Southeast Asian influences meet local ingredients. Taste regional Veracruz traditions at a community-driven kitchen that preserves ancestral maize and cacao techniques.
Step into a hidden passage of cafés and boutiques before sitting down to a farm-to-table experience featuring cactus ceviche, fideo seco, and silky plantain gnocchi paired with a fresh michelada.
End your tour in a stunning 100-year-old building where you’ll enjoy a feast of Mexican favorites: guacamole with chapulines, two types of mole, blue corn quesadillas, and a comforting tres leches cake. Stay afterward in the speakeasy if you’d like — it’s one of Roma’s most charming hidden gems.
Along the way, hear stories about Mexico’s Indigenous roots, culinary migrations, gentrification, and the traditions that earned Mexican cuisine its UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status.
