A Night of Tacos and Mezcal in Mexico City

Make your way to a central location in Mexico City, close to metro lines, trolley, and bus stations, and meet your food-loving local guide.

You’ll get an insider perspective on Mexico City cuisine as you make your way to a series of evening eateries, but start by kicking off the night at the first mezcal bar in Mexico City. The bar’s resident mezcal master will walk you through the tastes of traditional mezcal, exploring sweet, smoky, floral, and herbal flavors of the pre-Hispanic drink.

When you’re ready for tacos, try what might be Mexico City’s best al pastor variety, using spit-roasted meat that adapts Middle Eastern techniques to local ingredients and flavors.

At the next taqueria, get a contemporary, creative take on tacos, then visit a third taqueria for tacos hot from the griddle. The last taqueria stop of the evening is for Norteño-style tacos, with culinary influences from the regions of northern Mexico.

Your evening of mezcal and tacos concludes at the final taqueria, in the bustling Cuauhtemoc neighborhood.
