Mexico City Street Food: A Beginner's Guide

During this experience, you will try a carefully selected variety of the most amazing street food and you will learn the basics of how to order like a local and choose the best places to eat.
Mexico City has a great variety of street food that you must try. This tour focuses on introducing you to more than half-dozen of the city's most beloved street foods. You will get a chance to walk around the Cuauhtémoc and Juarez neighborhoods – filled with hungry office and US Embassy workers – and meet the street vendors that feed them every weekday. This tour will help you learn how to eat your way through Mexico City on your own, while you try a wide array of food – ranging from pambazos to tlacoyos to carnitas.
Our Mexico City Street Food: A Beginner's Guide has many stops, but here are some of the things you will try:
Tlacoyos
Made from nixtamalized corn dough (masa in Spanish), these oval-shaped patties are hand-shaped and topped with cheese, cactus and salsa. We’ll take you to a stand that has been operating since the 1980’s, staffed by two masa experts.
Squash-Flower Burritos
Prepared by a vendor who has been working in the neighborhood for nearly a decade, these burritos are delivered steaming from the grill and brimming with delicate squash flowers, beans, melted cheese, and your choice of homemade smoky hot sauce.
Carnitas
These carnitas come topped with the hottest green salsa we have ever tried – but you do not need to add this salsa if you do not want to! What you must do is try a taco of these tender chunks of pork, cooked in lard, and top it with a bright spritz of lime juice … and the sauce! However, these aren’t the overly crispy or dried-out carnitas often sold outside of Mexico, these carnitas will amaze you. We’ll also teach you how to order and how to differentiate the types of meat.
Cemitas
Native to the state of Puebla, this sandwich is stuffed with stringy quesillo cheese and slices of luscious avocado. The bread is soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside and is topped with sesame seeds.
