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!

EXCELLENT Based on 475 reviews Édouard Allioud2024-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Expérience géniale avec notre guide Paxi, l’une de nos journées préférées à Mexico (food tour de 11h à 16h) à la découverte de Juarez, San Rafael et Santa Maria la Ribera. Super découvertes de nourriture (5 arrêts!), mais aussi échanges passionnants sur l’histoire de la ville et du pays (en plus de la visite commentér des quartiers traversés!). Foncez ! michael pollack2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Tour ever. Food selections were varied, delicious and authentic. Fernando’s knowledge, guidance and warm spirit nourished the soul. This adventure was most worthwhile. I highly recommend. Jahnhoy Smith2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fernando was amazing! He showed us Mexico City from a very unique local lens and helped us gain a great appreciation for the food, art and culture of the vibrant city. Highly recommend Fernando and this bike tour the next time you are in Mexico City! Lexi Berryhill2024-11-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a blast on the Mexico is not only tacos tour. Paxi was an incredible guide and lots of fun to hang out with. The food was all great and Paxi gave us fantastic recommendations for later in our trip. Would certainly recommend Food Hood! Rachel Kullman2024-11-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really enjoyed our tour with Raul, he was super friendly and the tacos were delicious. Riding a bike through these areas was a bit stressful at times so if you haven't done much urban biking I'd maybe stick to one of their walking tours 🙂 alilo832024-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you guys. It was an amazing experience 😎 Tom Nguyen2024-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic tour. Got to explore a lot of places, tried many good tacos and the tour guides were absolutely amazing. Taught us about the food, culture and history. First bike tour ever taken and would highly recommend this to everybody. Joerissa Montel2024-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fernando was an AMAZING tour guide!! He customized the foods to our needs. I struggled at periods on the bike, but Fernando was very patient and made accommodations for me. We tried a lot of different foods/drinks and also learned a lot about Mexican history and the culture in general. Fernando is amazing and I’d love to take another tour with him! The entire staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I’ll be recommending them to all my friends. Ribhi Murra2024-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
