A Living History Taco Tour
Hello, hungry traveler! Ready to step beyond the guidebook and into the real, beating heart of Mexico City? This is your chance to explore San Rafael Taco Scene— a neighborhood that feels like a wise old friend with incredible stories, and even better tacos.
San Rafael was built in the early 20th century as one of the city's first planned colonias — a place where porfirian mansions, old factories, and working-class kitchens all share the same blocks. That mix is exactly why the food here tastes like history. The taquerías you're about to visit aren't just lunch stops; they're living rooms, cornerstones, and family legacies. Some have been run by the same family for decades. Others are new makers writing the neighborhood's next chapter. This is the tacos we actually eat every day, those who feed our dreams and life.
This is your all-access pass to authentic CDMX. And because this is a taco tour, the history comes one bite at a time.

Your Culinary Journey Through San Rafael:
Some Tacos you'll experience with us:
Suadero (Brisket) sliced thin and crisped on the plancha
Campechanos: marrying beef and chorizo in one perfect bite.
Tripa for those who know.
Pastor tacos are the kings.
Carnitas: Pork meat, perfectly cooked, served from a bike.
Yucatán meets San Rafael. Cochinita Pibil is one of Mexico's oldest slow-roasted pork traditions — achiote, citrus, habanero and lime.
Craving for Birria? Rich consommé, tender meat, a little mess, a lot of joy.
Smoked Tacos, handmade tortillas, local ingredients and a great new proposal in tacos.
Our best kept secrets
Watch the taquero work: tortilla, meat, onion, cilantro, take as many salsa as you can handle, and squeeze limes to enrich flavors.

Your Culinary Journey Through Time & Taste:
Beyond Tacos:
Between stops, we'll pause at neighborhood spots to craft beer from local makers, properly brewed coffee from shops that take their beans seriously.
And yes — we know the owners. These aren't random stops. They're places where we walk in and get greeted like neighbors, because we are.
We're locals. This is our neighborhood. We didn't build this tour from a guidebook or a list of "top ten tacos in CDMX." We built it by walking the streets, knocking on doors, and asking the people who've been here longest: Where do you actually eat? What shouldn't visitors miss? What's changed, and what should never change? This tour is their answer, curated with care and served with pride.
Come hungry for connection, for history, and for some of the best tacos you'll find in Mexico City. We can't wait to welcome you.
Book your spot. Bring appetite. Leave with a story.

Stephen says:
"Excellent tour. Sergio was a great guide and had a ton of interesting information. Lunch was delicious, with a great selection of antojitos (small street food dishes) to try. Pickup and transport was easy and comfortable. Highly recommended way to see the real Xochimilco, away from the party boats."

Nick says:
"Sergio took us to the market, and some food stalls, where we ate sopes, quesadillas, tacos and much more (all delicious), all made from the produce of the chinampas. We saw part of the real Mexico, with no tourist traps or vendors! The food and drinks are all included in the trip."

"This tour takes you on a journey far away from the crowded party boats and busy canal systems and into the San Gregorio local market to start - visiting several stellar food stalls and producers that source the freshest ingredients grown on the farms in the area."
