Marcela was great
Guide was a Pujol trained chef who gave great recommendations. We enjoyed the food and conversation. If you are looking for more authentic Mexican food, a different neighborhood would probably be better.

Loved this walking food tour!
Great introduction to Mexican cuisine with a very knowledgeable guide. Delicious small bites at multiple spots throughout Polanco. Definitely recommend!
via Viator
Marcela was fantastic. 6...
Marcela was fantastic. 6 stops. Each dish was from a different region of Mexico! Delicious, easy and fun. Polanco is clean and fancy and safe!
via Viator
Polanco food tour... Yes Please!
Highly recommend this food tour. If it is possible to request the tour guide, Chef Viry is who you want. She was great! If you select the 11 am tour, don't eat breakfast beforehand or eat a very light breakfast.

Fun experience
Easy location to meet at. Our tour guide Marcela was very knowledgeable and a chef! We were in the Polanco district, which had amazing food, and was quite safe for our group. There were several people in our party who had dietary restrictions, but they were accommodated with no issues. Great dishes and a good distance for walking (helped to work off some of the food!). It was a quick, easy way to see some sights, and taste some delicious food!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Polanco, discovering its amazing food, and learning from Marcela. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another culinary adventure soon!

Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City 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 Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 936 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City?
+
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 Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City 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 Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City?
+
Around 328 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 Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City 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.
What is included in Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City?
+
Included: Food tasting at 7 restaurants; Beverages; and Professional English- and Spanish-speaking guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Polanco Food Tour: The Bestselling Food Adventure in Mexico City wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
