Mexico City
Off the Beaten track
Mexico City is a sprawling metropolis with more than 2000 colonias (neighborhoods)! You may have heard of some popular ones: Roma, Condesa and Centro Historico. However, we would show you 2 overlooked historic colonias: Santa Maria la Ribera and San Rafael. As we explore these colonias, we will provide insight to historical events, local life and more.
We’ll start by having a hot beverage accompanied with our favourite pastry while chatting and getting familiar with the group.
As we enter San Rafael we’ll taste some street food at one of our favourite stands in the neighborhood while learning about its history and architecture.
We’ll continue on to Santa Maria la Ribera to to see the main monument, and stop at a restaurant to try the most traditional dish from Oaxaca (A southeastern state considered to be the culinary capital of Mexico).
As we continue to explore and hopefully make more space in our stomach; we’ll try an ancestral drink called Pulque, one of the most traditional drinks in Mexico.
Before we say our goodbyes we will sit down for a refreshing michelada (alcoholic beverage), as we chat and share our recommendations for this sprawling metropolis!

We booked this bike tour with Food Hood because a friend had made the recommendation after taking this tour twice. Raùl and Axel were excellent tour guides with a beautiful passion for their city and its rich history. The food was delicious and unique, we booked the “Mexico isn’t just Tacos” tour and we were very impressed. Our “bike boys”were very kind and generous and went out of their way to accommodate those with Gluten allergies. Also, the traffic in Mexico City is erratic, but Raùl and Axel were pros at blocking traffic so we all felt safe! Thank you Food Hood tours, highly recommend! Will Sergeant2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Raul & Axel gave a fantastic tour of some great taco spots, along with some insider info and history of the businesses and recommendations for other things to check out while we're in town - highly recommend & come hungry!
