Welcome to Sherpa Food Tours in Mexico City, part of our global collection of High-Fidelity Local Experiences. This tour was designed to uncover the vibrancy of one of the world’s greatest food cities, led by passionate locals. It's a culinary and cultural adventure served with insight, bold flavor, and a touch of mezcal.
We begin at a traditional taquería worthy of Michelin recognition to taste staple tacos de barbacoa. From there, we dive into fusion taqueria expanding the frontier for tacos where you get skip-the-queue treatment in, yet another, Michelin recognized Taco. From here you'll explore what Mexico has to offer beyond tacos, a deep tradition of ancestral recipes from top chefs that support both the environment and local communities. Dishes will expand your knowledge of Mexican food leaving you in awe and with proper understanding of why Mexican food is UNESCO patrimony. It’s a journey through the past, present, and future of Mexican cuisine, one unforgettable bite at a time.
Our backdrop is Roma Norte, a neighborhood that captures the creative pulse of Mexico City. Once the domain of grand mansions and European cafés, today it’s a buzzing, walkable haven of leafy streets, art deco facades, and some of the most exciting food in Latin America. Between bites, you’ll wander past galleries, bakeries, and vintage storefronts, catching the rhythm of local life in one of the city’s most dynamic districts.

Amazing tour and guide!
Lucas was amazing! He walked us past the huge line at Cariñito straight to a table, grinning like he had a secret. Gonzalitos was pure comfort, the last stop was refined and fresh, and the tamales in between was a more down to earth experience. Definitely worth the hype. Read more

Highly recommended!
With Paola, there was more than tacos and a history into each bite. At the 4th stop Mux, she told us about the chef’s travels to tiny towns to learn regional recipes and she brought the chef to the table. At Broka, Paola knew the details of each ingredient. Combined with a lot of info into the city it was a truly fantastic experience. Read more

VIP treatment and delicious food
Such a fantastic tour!!! We kicked off at Gonzalitos with a taco de barbacoa so good it ruined all other barbacoa for me. Then, at Cariñito, we skipped a line down the block and went straight into it. The guide knew the staff at every stop and we never waited more than 5 minutes I think to get food into our mouths. Really so well planned and delicious. Every stop had a unique personality and story to tell Read more

Mexico through the food
Cariñito tacos deserve all the hype, but the surprise for me was Mux. The chef pulls recipes from every corner of Mexico, and you can taste the pride in every bite. We ended sipping mezcal and feeling like the city had opened itself up to us. Read more

Tasty, fun and super social experience
I joined the tour on my own but ended up sitting at long tables, sharing tacos and stories with people from all over. We wandered between spots together, chatting over beers and mezcal, Paola the host played a central role to male everyone feel comfortable. By the end, it just felt like a good night out with nice people. Read more
