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.

At Food Hood Tours México, we’re travelers too. We’ve learned that a trip isn’t just about visiting a place and taking a photo — it’s about going deeper: discovering the origins of the food, the way people speak, why life works the way it does, and the places that truly matter to those who live there.
Most importantly, it’s about the people. The magic of travel is in their stories, what they can teach you about life, and the memories you carry in your heart long after the tour ends
Hey, a quick tip! During the rainy season (May/June to September/October), our tours run only in the morning, which is usually sunny — perfect for riding and tasting without worries.
Sometimes the forecast says it’s going to rain, but from our experience living in Mexico City and running tours, most of the rain shows up in the afternoon.
If it starts raining during the tour, no stress — we bring ponchos and rain-ready options, so you can still have a fun and tasty experience.
If the rain is really heavy before we start, we’d cancel for safety and give you a full refund — totally out of both our hands.
Pro tip: Do your outdoor tour in the morning and plan dinners or evening events indoors, so you can enjoy Mexico City to the fullest if you’re visiting during this season!
