Narvarte is known throughout Mexico City for its tacos, and we’ll kick off the tour with a visit to a neighborhood taquería that specializes in volcanes, a type of crispy tortilla cooked on a charcoal flame, smothered in cheese and poblano peppers. From there we’ll try tacos al pastor—picture a big outdoor roasting spit, shooting flames—and suadero tacos from vendors who’ve been in the neighborhood for decades. We’ll visit a lively cantina to learn more about Mexico City cantina culture, where we’ll toss back a chela, slang for cold beer, or a cocktail if you wish. And we’ll finish by trying a flight of small-batch, artisanal mezcals in a cozy neighborhood restaurant, part of a private mezcal tasting led by a local chef and expert. If you want a tour that combines food, culture, and drinks, this is not to be missed!

Beyond the glitz and gloss of the Condesa/Roma sits the Narvarte, a solidly middle-class neighborhood known for its dozens of family-style taquerías and a tranquil setting that hasn’t changed much in decades. On this walking tour, we’ll show you the vibe of a typical Mexico City colonia at night, as we visit taquerías and bars, and join a local chef in a small-batch mezcal tasting.

Food tour Mexico City
Really fun and educational evening with a great guide. Think she went by a nickname sounded like ‘Dottie’ She was very enthusiastic and took us to great places. Good food and nice history lesson.

Fernando was friendly and knowledgeable about the food, culture and history. The tacos were great and the mezcal tasting was super interesting.

A Must Do
A REALLY fun night. Got to experience a local cantina with a local, which we would never have been able to do otherwise. Had some fantastic tacos at places that I would have been afraid of trying on my own, and I will note that other than over eating, everyone avoided any tummy problems. Fernando was our guide and we learned more about food than I have in a long time, and had a lot of laughs and a great time as well. Lastly, the Mezcal tasting was fantastic. Again, I learned more about Tequila, and Mezcal, than I could have ever learned anywhere else. We liked this evening more than our night at Pujol.

Come hungry — tacos, mezcal, and great history
Lots of great food, come hungry! Our guide walked us through several stops for tacos and local specialties, sharing a lot of great history about the neighborhood and its food along the way. The mezcal tasting at the end was a fantastic way to wrap things up. Great pacing and every stop was worth it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a real taste of the area.

Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 229 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 Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal?
+
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 Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal?
+
Around 80 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Narvarte At Night: Tacos, Chelas & Mezcal 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, Teotihuacan pyramids morning or afternoon without tourist traps, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour. 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.
