The area that currently occupies was what was known until the late nineteenth century as the Potreros de la Romita, located west of what was the town of La Romita -located at that time on the shores of Mexico City, and originated in a prehispanic town called Aztacalco. Those paddocks were divided by the Calzada de Chapultepec, SA Land Company, whose main shareholder was Walter Orrin, 6 who, in addition to being known for his ideas to improve and renovate Mexico City, owned a famous circus in the country in those years, in which acted the famous English clown Richard Bell, who belonged to the prestigious Jockey Club and was part of the highlights in the Porfirian high society. Since then and until now, the names that lead the streets of the colony are those of the Mexican cities that Cirque Orrín visited during his tours through the interior of the country, deciding to name the streets with the names of the places where more applause He received.
It was opened in the 1950s as part of various efforts to modernize the city's markets. It has 1,150 stalls dedicated to the sale of flowers, flower arrangements, ornamental plants, and accessories such as pots. The market offers approximately 5,000 types of flowers and plants
Great experience. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We paid extra to be picked up from the airport and were shown around Mexico City to taste different tacos.
Carlos (our guide) and Arturo (the driver) were amazing. Brought us to really delicious local places we would never have found on our own, and were engaging and informative. We can’t recommend them highly enough.
Great time eating great food and seeing more of the Mexico City culture. We went to four different taco joints and experienced a different taste at each place.
We loved our time with Carlos! Tasted amazing tacos we never would have tried and learned so much about this vibrant city. Definitely arrive hungry as we could have been rolled out, but worth it for sure!!
Very expensive for what you get. Nice tour guide, but charging almost $200 per person to visit 3 taco stands and a mezcal bar for 1 drink is significantly overpriced compared to other experiences we had in CDMX
What a great experience we had with Victoria. She was very knowledgeable of the area and it's history . Also very friendly . The tacos where bombbbbb lol. The mezcal was just as good . Would definitely recommend .
Book this immediately! A great way to see different parts of the city, experience food stops you probably wouldn't otherwise know and learn about the city! Carlos and Christian are amazing-worth every penny and more.
We went to 4 different taco spots as well as a very cool bar where we had some fantastic mezcal. We did not speak Spanish and our guide was super helpful in getting us an awesome array of different types of tacos at all these spots. I was totally stuffed at the end and had some fantastic tacos. Awesome tour for sure. 5/5 stars.
What a fun night! Our guide was awesome. Loved that it was a private tour and we got picked up and dropped off. It was also nice to have a break from walking as well. We went to four places and had such a good variety of tacos. It was really interesting to learn about all the different styles. I was so full at the end, I couldn’t eat another bite. Highly recommended!
Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and we ate way to many tacos. Great tour to get introduced to the city.
Roberto and Carlos took us around to some of the most amazing taco places in Mexico City. Every bite at every place was worth the travel. Will definitely do it again!
Hands down one of the best experiences. Our driver Juan and our guide Carlos were amazing! We had the best time, ate some of the most delicious food. We went to three locations, and it was a blast, the first location was absolutely amazing, and our last stop changed life, that bean and cheese tostada was indescribable. Carlos also helped me practice my Spanish, much appreciated. Best team ever! Will do again when I come back to CDMX.
Carlo was an amazing tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and loved all the stops especially the final two that were featured in Netflix's Taco Chronicles. Absolutely terrific!
There were 2 of us plus the guide and the driver who picked us up from the hotel. We went to three places where they had different tacos, plus the market called Jamaica (not pronounced like the country) where plenty of flowers and arrangements can be bought). I totally liked all the tacos I ate, plus drinks. Had no issues with them, honestly. They were different from those I have in my neck of the woods in Queens NYC where plenty of Mexicans live.. And I also liked the corn with mayonnaise and spices. I am surprised by seeing plenty of people showing up to get tacos in these places at night. This is really worth getting introduced to tacos varieties and other local food delicacies.
It was an amazing evening eating amazing tacos and exploring local culture. It was the best way to start our first night in México City.
Truly enjoyed our night out on the Roma District with Rene - our guide and Arturo- the driver. We got to experience several different kinds of tacos and local beverages. Rene is so knowledgeable and outgoing that it feels like a night out on the town with an old friend. Two of the stands were even featured on the Netflix Documentary The Taco Chronicles. Highly recommend.
This was really a fun and educational tour. Carlos is an excellent guide and the spots that were picked were all non tourist type places..also the variety of different types of tacos was great. Having a driver was key as well because he would drop us off at the front of every taco place and pick us up as well. The only thing we had to do was eat and drink! If you've seen the taco chronicles, this is a great way to taste a lot of the different style tacos they feature in that documentary series. Highly recommended!
Elysio (our driver) and Carlos (tour guide) were fantastic! They were punctual and picked us up from our hotel. They took us to 4 different places where we ate 9 tacos (we had options to have more but we were stuffed) and tastings of mezcal, beers, and cocktails. Carlos was very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. We were able to tour parts of Mexico City we otherwise may not have ventured to and try tacos that locals' favorites. My advice to anyone taking this tour is not to eat anything all day as you will eat more than enough on this tour. I highly recommend this tour.
I’m so glad I decided to book this evening tour. Carlos was a pleasure to eat tacos with and drink with. He took us to three stops, and four taco establishments, and we has some of the best tacos of our lives. I would encourage people to be open minded, and try the unusual.
Memorable and did tour 01/03/2020 Lots of very flavorful tacos Better than tacos in Southern California with Tijuana influences Hole in the wall fantastic tasting taco stands with thin steak seasoned and unable to get in the states Definitely recommended to all my friend in Vegas for a trip to Mexico City just to go to the taco night tour If you love to eat... this is for you
Veronica was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed 2 excellent taco stops. The trip to the flower market was amazing. Truly enjoyed our cocktail stop also. My only critic is that we didn't know how many taco stops we would have so I was pacing myself. I would have enjoyed one more taco stop (3 taco stops (instead of 2), 1 cocktail stop and a stop at the flower shop) would have been perfect. However, It was still an amazing evening.
Carlos was wonderful....very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a great history lesson as well as introduced us to some great taco spots. Thank you for a great night!
We had a terrific evening with Carlos who took us around for some great eats! Very authentic and tasty....well away from any tourist traps. I was ready to find my way back the following evening - the food was so good. We enjoyed some excellent Mezcal along with excellent appreciation for how its produced. The van was most comfortable-our driver was very cautious. Highly recommend....and you might want to note the addresses...as you might want to find your way back!!
Absolute must! Carlos and Hernandez (our driver) were fantastic. We had had some disappointing experiences with eating tacos around the city (due to our inability to speak Spanish and order correctly!) but tonight we tasted the best of the best, and at such stunning local spots. It’s a must!!!
We had such a fabulous time on this tour! Luis and Carlos picked us up from our hotel and drove us to 3 different taco spots. All of which were amazing eats that we never would have found on our own. Aqua Fresca was really yummy and pork tacos to die for. Guide was very good at giving us history of Mexico and we learned so much about the native agave plants and making of mescal. I would definitely suggest this tour to anyone who loves tacos. Cannot say enough good things about the experience!!
Excellent! Despite being shattered with jet lag, Luis and David managed to perk me up with their sheer exuberance and happiness! My husband and I ate the best tacos of the trip, visited some amazing little places which we would never have dared to go and find, and ended up in the most amazing flower market where if we'd had room, we could have had more food! Definitely value for money if like us, you are short of time, don't know where to start and are a little concerned about going off track on your own! They explained traditions to us, how to tip, what to expect when ordering and showed us how it's all done. Best tacos were at the daytime garage/night time taco and bar which was like something out of the Fast and the Furious, but we felt safe knowing we were in good hands, and besides, the FOOD!! Thanks for a great experience and it stood us in good stead over the next couple of days when we had to go and find places to eat and we knew what we wanted and how to order etc!! David and Luis you were lovely, kind, courteous, funny and exactly right for us!!
Driver and guide were both professional, good fun and easy to get along with. Visited several different places to try a range of tacos and of course the Mescal drink. It was an enjoyable evening with lots of useful information about Mexico City, it’s history, it’s people and good places to visit and good eating places.
<p>A very good tour. We did lots of non tourist Taco spots and our tour guide and driver were excellent and very flexible with our schedule. A good fun night. Thanks to Carlos and Anna. We can thoroughly recommend them as excellent guides.</p>
<p>A safe, professional and insightful tour combining amazing food, drink, sights and company. This tour was truly outstanding. Despite our tour taking place on the busiest night in the City the Day of the Dead Parade, restricting vehicular access to our hotel, Alejandra and Vicky pulled out all the stops to ensure our tour went ahead on time, as planned. Alexandra is great host and enabled us to taste both food and drink, alongside locals, in places that we would not have visited without her expert guidance. You will not go hungry! Highly recommended.</p>
<p>Excellent, would highly recommend! Private driver and guide took us to all of the best spots that tourists probably don't visit, it was mostly locals. Yummy!</p>
<p>Alejandra is an amazing tour guide! As soon as my friends and I met her at our hotel we knew we were in for the total inside scoop on Mexican street food. We had out of this world food like esquites, carne aracherra, and cecina. Absolutely loved sampling Mezcal and artisanal Mexican beer! Tacos al Pastor anyone? Alejandro and her charming driver Vicky will take you to incredible eateries!! I learned so much from this tour and I've traveled extensively throughout Mexico. My friends and I couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the food was on this tour. Mil Gracias Alejandra!</p>
<p>Really good range of food and drinks with pick up and drop off straight to your hotel. Several taco stops and a taste of mescal and craft beers in Condesa and Rosa districts.</p>
<p>The real Mexican food experience! Alejandra is a great host, food is great and you get to know not only about food, but Mexico's history and traditions.<br/> La verdadera experiencia de la comida mexicana! Alejandra es una excelente guía, el tour complementa buena comida, historia y tradición mexicanas.</p>
