We booked a private taco tour since our schedule didn’t allow for a group tour, and we’re so glad we did! We wanted more of a cultural experience and the chance to explore a different neighborhood, so we chose Narvarte at Night after reading many great reviews about Eat Mexico. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! Adrian met us in the neighborhood and was an incredible guide. With his background in the culinary industry and having grown up visiting some of the spots we went to, he brought such a personal and authentic perspective. He took us to places we likely never would have ventured into on our own, and some of the food ended up being the best we had on our trip. Beyond the amazing tacos, Adrian was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the food, local culture, and the neighborhood itself. It was a truly memorable experience that went beyond just a food tour. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re looking for an authentic local experience beyond the typical tourist spots!

Itinerary
Beyond the glitz and gloss of the Condesa/Roma sits the Narvarte, a solidly middle-class neighborhood known for its dozens of family-style taquerías and a tranquil setting that hasn’t changed much in decades. On this walking tour, we’ll show you the vibe of a typical Mexico City colonia at night, as we visit taquerías and bars, and join a local chef in a small-batch mezcal tasting.

Nico was great! He gave us fun and interesting context around the food and establishments that made the food even more enjoyable.
Nico was amazing. Very knowledgeable.
We loved this tour! Unique local and full of interesting information. Adriana made us feel like locals.
Nico is the GOAT. 10/10 recommend. Amazing good a tour. From Ryan Carter and Brent
Really fun and educational evening with a great guide. Think she went by a nickname sounded like ‘Dottie’ She was very enthusiastic and took us to great places. Good food and nice history lesson.
Fernando was friendly and knowledgeable about the food, culture and history. The tacos were great and the mezcal tasting was super interesting.
A REALLY fun night. Got to experience a local cantina with a local, which we would never have been able to do otherwise. Had some fantastic tacos at places that I would have been afraid of trying on my own, and I will note that other than over eating, everyone avoided any tummy problems. Fernando was our guide and we learned more about food than I have in a long time, and had a lot of laughs and a great time as well. Lastly, the Mezcal tasting was fantastic. Again, I learned more about Tequila, and Mezcal, than I could have ever learned anywhere else. We liked this evening more than our night at Pujol.
Lots of great food, come hungry! Our guide walked us through several stops for tacos and local specialties, sharing a lot of great history about the neighborhood and its food along the way. The mezcal tasting at the end was a fantastic way to wrap things up. Great pacing and every stop was worth it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a real taste of the area.
This food tour did not disappoint. Adrian is such a warm and friendly guide, who is so clearly passionate about the culinary arts and eager to share his knowledge. The food was fantastic and they were very accommodating to my vegetarian preferences. 10/10 experience.
Adrien is amazing!! So kind and knowledgeable! Very
Adrian was super sweet and informational. All 5 stops were excellent. Highly recommend!
"We did the Narvarte at Night food tour last night and it was such a vibe. We wandered through a real local neighborhood, hitting up taquerías for the best street tacos — like juicy al pastor from a flaming spit and crispy volcanes loaded with cheese and peppers. The rain didn't stop us — it just added to the atmosphere, making the whole experience feel even more authentic and cozy. Adrian, our guide, was super knowledgeable about the food, the culture, and everything in between. We ended with a private mezcal tasting that was just incredible — smooth, smoky flavors paired with little appetizers. Perfect way to experience real Mexico City at night, rain and all."
Adrian provided an awesome experience , tasting four different types of tacos - each one unique and delicious, and finishing off with an expert mezcal tasting. This tour has ruined us for NA tacos! Highly recommend this experience.
We had a wonderful food tour with Nico through Navarte, ending with a really insightful mescal tasting experience with Wen. The food was tasty but we also really enjoyed the history and background and Nico was brilliant company! I would recommend this tour highly!
Great tour with our guide Nico. Enjoyed tacos and capped off the night with a Mezcal tasting. Very informative and fun
We had a wonderful experience with Toti on our taco tour through Eat Mexico. We ate delicious food, learned about the history and origins of the food, and enjoyed delightful conversation. The mezcal tasting was also amazing - learning how small-batch mezcal is made and savored was a unique experience.
Absolutely brilliant tour with our local guide Yimnah. She was friendly and knowledgeable throughout, with excellent English. She met us at the first taqueria and talked us through the plan. Really good that she checked for allergies, and she made sure my wife, who can't eat gluten, was OK the whole evening. We were taken to an excellent selection of taquerias and a cantina serving food with outstanding flavours. Not being locals we would never have ventured out this far and found these places. Can't recommend this highly enough.
We had such a great time on the street food tour! We were led by Yimnah, who is super nice, very knowledgeable, interesting and clearly knows her stuff! The recommendations for the tacos were excellent, my favourite was 💯 the tripe at Taco Tony's even though it was my last one and I was pretty full by that point. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Yimnah!
Great evening. Nico is very knowledgeable and great company. The places we visited were among our fave meals in Mexico. Great local cultural flavor as well as delicious food.
Nico was fabulous! Incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, while also being super friendly. We had an amazing time and ate the best tacos we’ve ever had. I would do this tour every night with Nico if I could!!
A great evening out with fantastic tacos and mescal. Toti was a great host and the food was amazing! Everyone should try the Ocho Roco!! Jim &Anne
This was an excellent evening tour of many street food experiences. Nico our guide is one of the best. Finished off with a fantastic mezcal tasting session. Small tour size just right. Casual, informal and delivered at a relaxing pace. Not to be missed - can highly recommend.
I was looking for something fun and safe to do at night with the family in Mexico City - and this was it. We got to see a different part of the city that we had never visited before. Our guide was Toti who told us everything about the food and customs we were experiencing. It was a very enjoyable and memorable night.
Here’s We had an incredible experience on our food tour in Mexico City. Our guide, Toti, was absolutely wonderful—super friendly, warm, and so accommodating. She took the time to understand our preferences, helped us pace ourselves, and made sure we always had just the right amount to eat. We learned so much from her, not only about the history and culture behind the dishes we tried, but also about mezcal, local food traditions, and the neighborhoods we explored. Toti introduced us to foods we never would have found on our own, and every single stop was delicious. This tour ended up being one of our favorite experiences in Mexico City. If you’re looking for great food, cultural insight, and an amazing guide, I highly recommend booking with Toti!
Celebrated my 50th in CDMX and this fantastic tour was part of the amazing experience. Toti, Fernando and Nico led a large group of us (19) to some of the most delicious taco spots in the city. Being culinary experts, they were able to explain the intricacies of each dish consumed at every stop on the tour. Bring comfortable walking shoes and an appetite. This is a must experience when visiting Mexico City.
This was a great tour. Adrian was a great guide and was really knowledgeable. Highlights included the Mezcal tasting, the Suadero tacos and the Tacos Al Pastor.
We were the only two in our tour and got a great food and mexico history lesson. We had a great time with Fernando. Would definitely recommend. Mezcal tasting was low key and intimate.
Nico was a fantastic guide who helped us experience foods and establishments we might have been too intimidated to try otherwise. He also wove Mexican history and culture into the entire night.
Amazing evening hosted by our guide Fernando. His incredible passion and knowledge of Mexican food culture was only matched by the equally excellent food we had on the tour. From tacos to tripe soup and grasshopper tostada to mezcal, everything was A+. Would highly recommend.
Toti was amazing. We had such a great experience. We loved all the history and local knowledge about food and everything was delicious
Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! The food was delicious, it was so much fun trying the different places and Nico was the best guide. He’s so lovely and knowledgable and made this a super special experience. Thank you!
Great tour, excellent food and mezcal tasting. Nico our guide was brilliant, he was charming and knowledgeable. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
A++ This was our favorite thing we did during our CDMX visit. Nico was excellent guide - super friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
We loved the Narvarte at Night tour! It was a busy night with several groups but our guide was able to give us her full attention. Had some of the best tacos of our trip that night, and the mezcal tasting was amazing! The tasting guide was very knowledgeable, the pours were generous, and I learned a lot about artisanal mezcal and the difference between different regions and varieties. Definitely recommend!
This was a fantastic tour. Tori was so nice and knowledgeable. Everything we ate was delicious. Highly recommend this company
My husband and I had an amazing experience on the Navarte at Night tour! It was so much more than just tacos and broadened our understanding of Mexican food culture. I even found a new favorite local beer and some new foods I want to recreate at home. Our tour guide Tonalli was phenomenal! She was personable and so knowledgeable about the food and drinks and provided us with both an education and incredible experience. She was a joy to spend the evening with! I had been debating which food tour to do, and let me tell you - don’t look anywhere else. We’ve traveled extensively, and I have a high bar for service, and this exceeded my expectations. Book with this company and you will not be disappointed!
Had so much fun on this small group tour with Clara! Perfect way to become familiar with Mexican food. Clara was great, food great and so was the company. Loved it!
We had a great time with Toti! We got to try lots of delicious tacos and chelas, and discovered some new favorites. The night needed with a very special mezcal lesson and tasting. Highly recommend!
This was a highlight to a fantastic weekend in Mexico City. Great exploration of the nuances of Mexican tacos. Learned the meaning of pastor, carnitas and barbacoa. Tonalli, our guide, was incredible for both food and cultural information. Definitely go hungry or allow a purge stop midway through the tour. We plan to try the street food tour the next time we are in the city!!
We chose the Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal tour as part of a team-building experience, and it exceeded all expectations! I’ll admit, my biggest concern at first was that Moctezuma’s revenge might take down my 11 teammates — but as the tour unfolded, any hesitation quickly gave way to excitement, laughter, and joy. We had an absolute blast! This was hands down the best way to introduce my colleagues to the vibrant beauty, colors, flavors, and energy of Mexico City’s culinary scene. Every stop was packed with delicious surprises, local stories, and unforgettable tastes. Twelve Amazonians stood strong, conquered Moctezuma, and fully immersed themselves in the magic of authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommended — this is more than a food tour; it’s a celebration of culture, connection, and fun!
Fernando was a wonderful guide — knowledgeable, passionate about the food and the culture he was sharing with us, and very good company.
We started our trip to Mexico City with Adrian from Eat Mexico - he's a great host, very knowledgeable about food, culture and just an interesting person to talk to. We went to about 5 spots, all fantastic - especially enjoyed the Alpastor tacos and Mezcal tasting. Highly recommend
Fun night out with Toti who explained the culture around tacos and answered all of our questions. We tried some unique styles and popular local spots, but man the al pastor at El Vilsito was next level. The mezcal tasting at the end was incredible as well!
Wonderful tour with Fernando, we visited 5 places all delicious food choices , Fernando was great, very friendly and learned a lot from him about the city , its culture and much more besides.
The Narvarte food tour exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel at home. The tacos al pastor were absolutely unforgettable perfectly seasoned and cooked. The suadero tacos were also full of flavor, and the ice-cold beers were the perfect pairing. We ended the night with a fantastic mezcal tasting that gave us a deeper appreciation for the drink. Everything was well organized, and the attention to detail was clear at every stop. A delicious, authentic, and memorable way to experience Mexico City’s street food culture.
This food tour was an unforgettable experience. Each stop had its own charm, but the standout was definitely the al pastor tacos by far the best I’ve ever had. The suadero was rich and flavorful, and the local beers added a great touch. We ended the evening with a mezcal tasting that was both fun and informative. The entire team was incredibly attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel truly welcome throughout the tour. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore real Mexico City street food.
I went with my family and had an amazing time. The al pastor tacos were the best I’ve ever had, the suadero was delicious, and we ended with mezcal. The team was always attentive and helpful!
Amazing food tour in Narvarte! We tried delicious suadero and al pastor tacos, enjoyed local beers, and ended with a great mezcal tasting. Truly authentic experience. The guide was also amazing!
Our tour was amazing, definitely a must do in Mexico City! I enjoyed every stop (the mezcal was my favorite), and the guide was fantastic — always looking out for us and explaining every detail about the neighborhood and the food we were eating. Awesome experience!
