Overview

Discover Mexico City through a cultural and gastronomic experience in small groups, designed to understand the origin, evolution and secrets of Mexico’s most emblematic dish: taco. Along the way we will visit three stops that combine history, tradition and practical learning. We will start in a traditional taqueria to know the origin of the taco, the cooking techniques of its most representative stews and the label to eat it as a real Mexican. Afterwards, we will visit a family space where you will discover the biodiversity of Creole corn, the process of nixtamalization, the variety of chilies and the use of pre-Hispanic tools such as metate and molcajete. We will finish in an establishment recognized by the Michelin Guide for elevating the blockbuster tradition with excellence and authenticity. More than a tasting tour, it is a cultural immersion to understand why taco is a symbol of Mexican identity.
