Calling all food lovers. Join this evening culinary experience in La Condesa neighborhood in Mexico City and find out just why this city is considered a food mecca! You'll gain valuable insight into traditional Mexican cuisine by walking around this neighborhood and tasting nine separate dishes, five mezcales, beer and aguas frescas.Tacos are a very important part of the Mexican identity - people eat them at any time or place. For breakfast after a night of drinking, or as the best fast food. But a real taco is not what you might have seen at home, those hard tortillas with sour cream and yellow cheese are never eaten in Mexico.
To understand the taco, you have to eat it where the locals eat. You'll enjoy a guided food tour in La Condesa neighborhood in Mexico city visiting five different restaurants or food spots. First, you'll visit a street stall visited by masons, yuppies and executives of the area. This place is famous for its freshly made tortillas and generous sides. Choose between potatoes and nopales to accompany juicy meat wrapped in a spectacular tortilla.
Afterwards, visit the birthplace of the famous taco al pastor; seasoned pork slowly cooked in a spinning top, topped with pineapple, onion and cilantro. Here, you'll learn that no visit to a taquería is complete without sampling the famous prepared chambray onions.
Carnitas are famous in the city, but if you are not willing to try them on the street, this taquería has some of the best carnitas around. Accompany your tacos with their famous charro beans - a delicious bean soup with sausage and bacon - a Chilango (local from Mexico City) favorite. And to drink, nothing beats a cool refreshing water, it may be typical tamarind or hibiscus flavor or something more exotic, such as guanábana (soursop).
When you want to eat tacos in a place a little more in, Chilangos visit the next stop, where handmade tortillas and the exceptional quality of its meat make everyone who tastes their creations fall in love with them. Accompany your taco with the famous cheese rind and a cold beer.
Chilangos say that what matters is not the taco, but the sauce that comes with it, so at each stop you'll learn in detail the ingredients of Mexican salsas. Each taquería has its own, and they jealously guard the secret in preparing them.
After eating these 4 delicious tacos and knowing their sauces, you'll be ready for some mezcal! Spend the afternoon in a fun way, visiting a mezcalería and trying out five different varieties of mezcal, each accompanied by a traditional orange slice, worm salt and an amazing hibiscus fried taco.
Your foodie adventure ends here, where you'll be an expert in the different types of tacos and sauces, and you'll know in depth about the different varieties of mezcal. Plus, you'll learn stories about the great city of Mexico and its illustrious inhabitants, roam beautiful streets full of shops, restaurants and life, hear about the origin and history of each of the foods that you sample, and get to know the importance of the ingredients in Mexican cooking.
