    A delicious way to discover Roma Norte

    We had a great time with Alex. He was an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgeable and very thoughtful about the timing of the tour and our food preferences. The tour was a wonderful way to discover some of the best flavors in Roma Norte. The highlights for us were the tacos at Taquería Orinoco and the birria, which made the experience feel truly authentic. Finishing with churros was perfect. A fun, well-paced and delicious experience.

    Tacos done right

    Alex was a terrific host to the neighborhood of La Roma. He was knowledgeable about the area and the history of Mexico. He was friendly, kind, thoughtful, and funny, and also has a lot of great taco knowledge - so cool! We were well fed and cared for at multiple locations with a wide variety of different taco styles and flavors. If you're a taco lover and like you try a little of the traditional and also some delicious new ideas in tacos this is the tour for you. Thank you Alex!

    Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

    How much does Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 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 Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros?

    +

    Around 5 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros 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 Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros?

    +

    Included: Bilingual guide; Two non-alcoholic drinks; and Five food tastings. Not included: Additional food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros?

    +

    Meet your guide at the entrance of Taquería Orinoco on Avenida Álvaro Obregón 100, Col Roma Norte. Your guide will be waiting for you with a City Art Tours Mexico sign. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros 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 Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros?

    +

    Is Roma Norte Taco Tour: Iconic Taquerías, Michelin Tacos & Churros wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
