The food tour with Grace was a lot of fun! We went to a lot places and there’s lot of foods to sample! The food was excellent, and Grace explained each dish and it’s history thoroughly. Glad this tour was recommended to me by a friend who also had nothing but good things to say about Grace.

We booked the Colonia...

Ruchi_K, May 2023

We booked the Colonia Roma tour with a group of 6 friends and it was such a fun experience. Enya is so knowledgeable about her city and the neighborhood and we really appreciated that she shared all of this in addition to her knowledge about the food, restaurants and ingredients. The restaurant progression was also very thoughtful, well done by Sabores de Mexico! We were definitely full by the end of it!

A Must Do Experience in Mexico City

Our guide Maira was the absolute best. She is friendly, knowledgeable and the perfect person to lead this tour. The restaurant choices are amazing. The food was fabulous and really highlighted the diversity of Mexican cuisine

Fun, unique food tour

Keely_R, May 2023

We did a couple types of food tours in Mexico City and all were different. In this one, my group appreciated seeing a different side of Mexican food that we hadn't in other tours, as well as learning along our beautiful, scenic walk through the neighborhood. Our guide, Maira, was knowledgeable, considerate, and fantastic with explanations and information throughout.

Great

Philip_S, May 2023

Great tour! Wish they paired cocktail ot alcohol with each dish. Food was great, especially the fish tacos.

Eat in ROMA!

Jennifer_F, Apr 2023

A wonderful thing to do on your first day in CDMX. Fred, aka Queso, showed his love of his city & food culture - along with some history of the Roma neighborhood. Each restaurant we visited served amazing bites. We were SO FULL we didn’t need dinner that night.

Great afternoon!

Denise_H, Apr 2023

Wonderful tour. Lots of knowledge from “cheese”, our guide and wonderful samples of innovative tastes. Plenty of food to fill you for lunch. Definitely worth the cost.

Must do if in Mexico City

Tom_M, Apr 2023

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. It was our first day in Mexico City and a good hours walk from where we were staying, so we got to take in some of the city before we arrived. We were arrived at the location to be greeted by Joseph, who was an absolutely amazing host, explaining to us the history of the food, along with the city itself and its heritage. The venues we visited varied in style and cuisine - none were a let down and some of the venues were stunning! We also got to meet some of the chefs + owners who were equally as gracious. This was a great way to start our trip. Thank you Jospeh!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

This was a wonderful food tour. We enjoyed every single food and beverage offered on our 6 stops. Each was carefully chosen for not only its delicious food but it’s cultural significance. Joseph was adorable, delightful and informative. Do not miss this experience!

Great tour from Joseph, learned a lot about Mexican food but also culture, architecture and history. Good variety of tastings that I wouldn't have found on my own.
