Avi was a great host and...
Avi was a great host and had a ton of knowledge to pass on. It was so fun to leave about CDMX, its neighborhoods and many of its taco spots. My wife and I had a great time!
via Viator
Amazing
Everything went perfectly from starting on time to the pace of the tour to all the wonderful cultural experiences. This was an amazing presentation of sights, sounds, smells, and of course, tastes. Avi was a superb tour guide. His local knowledge and the places he selected were outstanding.

Amazing
What an amazing tour we had with Avi. He was waiting for us at the pickup point after checking with us the night before. The timing and pace of the tour was ideal. All of the places had their own unique styles and tastes. Everyone had personal favorites for tortillas, salsas, and ingredients. It was not a strenuous walk, with several chances to sit, and also had bathroom stops. The last stop for coffee and chocolate was a great finish.

So much more than just a food tour! 11 out of 10 stars!
We had an incredible taco tour in Mexico City with our Mensch Jorge, who made the entire experience unforgettable. Somehow the tour was both exciting and deeply relaxing at the same time. The food was absolutely amazing, but what really set this experience apart was the way Jorge blended culture, history, and family tradition into every stop along the way. The four of us were part of a group of eight on the tour, and each of us walked away with a completely different “favorite” part of the experience, which says a lot about how thoughtfully the tour was put together. We also made friends with the rest of the group! Jorge didn’t just tell us about the food. He shared the stories behind it, the traditions, the families, and even introduced us to some of the people preparing the dishes. It made every bite feel meaningful and authentic. This was so much more than a food tour. It felt like a genuine introduction to the heart of Mexico City and its people. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico City.

Excellent Experience
Absolutely one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City. The taco tour was incredibly well organized, and every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen. We tried a huge variety of tacos — from classic al pastor to some amazing regional specialties — and everything was delicious. Our guide was fantastic: super knowledgeable about the food, neighborhoods, and history of the city, while also making the whole experience fun and relaxed. What really stood out was how much local culture was woven into the tour. It didn’t feel touristy at all — more like exploring the city with a friend who knows all the best spots. We also appreciated the pacing and the balance between eating, walking, and learning about the neighborhoods. Come hungry because there is a lot of food. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting CDMX.

Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 66 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch?
+
Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mexico City Local Taco Tour in Roma Norte by the Taco Mensch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
