Mexico City
Off the Beaten track
walking Tour
Dive deep into Mexico City, venturing beyond the popular tourist bubble to discover the hidden gems of Santa Maria la Ribera and San Rafael, neighborhoods that are still not widely known but are becoming increasingly popular. Our walking tour is a safe and immersive journey into the real-life pulse of Mexico, where we embrace local experiences and use public transportation to weave through the city’s rich history.
Starting with a warm beverage and our favorite pastry, we’ll gather, chat, and become acquainted with our fellow explorers. In San Rafael, we’ll tantalize our taste buds with street food from a cherished local stand, delving into the neighborhood’s captivating history and architecture.
Moving on to Santa Maria la Ribera, we’ll admire its main monument and indulge in the most traditional dish from Oaxaca at a local restaurant. As we continue our culinary odyssey, we’ll introduce you to Pulque, an ancestral drink deeply rooted in Mexican tradition.
Fear not, our walking tour is not just about food! It’s a comprehensive experience that allows you to absorb the atmosphere, stories, and local life of these overlooked historic colonias. And yes, we’ll use public transportation, where every ride unveils intriguing tales of the city.
Before bidding farewell, join us for a refreshing michelada, an alcoholic beverage (we also have non-alcoholic options), as we share stories, exchange recommendations, and immerse ourselves in the authentic spirit of Mexico City.

EXCELLENT Based on 660 reviews Omar Zahr2025-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I visited Mexico City for the first time last week and amongst the many things that we have enjoyed doing in that lovely city was going on a cycling food tasting tour arranged by the Food Hood Tours. It was an amazing experience. The tour was very organised and fun. It lasted 6 hours and covered food tasting, culture and history. It was so interesting riding in the city’s famous neighbourhoods. Amongst the food we tried was Concha, Tamalis, Takos, Tlacoyo, Juices and Michelada. Everything we’ve tasted was delicious. The friendly staff members Rigo, Axel and Beto were our guides on the day. They rode with us and made sure everyone felt welcome, happy and safe on the roads whilst riding. They certainly knew their city very well and most importantly knew the local places that serve the best foods and drinks. Thank you guys for a wonderful experience. We enjoyed every moment and learnt a lot about your culture, history and wonderful city. We look forward to visiting Mexico City again and joining you on another Food Hood tour in the future :).

Abby Ventura2025-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My bf and I had the best time on this tour. The bike ride was chill and food was delicious. We stopped at five different spots and they didn’t skimp on the food. I was so full by the end of it. This is a great group of guys and it really does feel like you’re hanging out with old friends. I highly recommend it if you’re visiting CDMX. Michael Riyanto2025-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tour guides, a variety of cafe to street food vendors. I wouldn’t have found a street quesadilla with brain topping 😀 (optional; you don’t have to choose that topping) on my own stroll. In case you are curious, the combination of cheese, brain, and rajas is excellent for a quesadilla. Interesting sights visited. The riding wasn’t much at all. Very easy stroll.
