This experience takes you to Garibaldi Square, home to Mexico’s World-Famous Mariachi bands and an incredible place where you will visit a historically important Cantina as well as a very traditional Pulqueria.

You will visit the Museum of Tequila and Mezcal, where you will learn about their history as well as the process by which Mezcal and Tequila are distilled. But it does not end there! You will learn how Mezcal and Tequila are supposed to be savoured, so you can drink like a true local.

After your lesson on how to sip Mexican spirits, we’ll visit a legendary Cantina, where you’ll have a drink of your choice and will be serenated by a Jarocho quartet while you sip a mezcal cocktail. Once we are done, take the subway to Arena Mexico where you’ll attend a Lucha Libre match. Your tickets are chosen for you to sit among locals and away from the mostly-touristy rows in the arena. Before the match, you can choose your Luchador mask so you can rock it during the match.

Tour starts at 6:00pm
Finishes around 11:00pm

We are a grassroots tour company made up of travelers, foodies and tree-huggers who share a passion for authentic experiences and promoting sustainable travel and fair trade. The goal of our tours is to show visitors the often-overlooked side of Mexico while supporting local, family-run businesses and socially responsible establishments. We strive to have a positive impact on local economies as well as respecting the welfare of all sentient beings, human and non-human---This is why we choose to run exclusively vegan and vegetarian tours

The market tour and cooking class was the highlight of our Mexico City trip! We are a family of five, including one teenager and two elementary school kids, and we all had a fabulous time! We visited markets that we never would have made it to on our own, learned a bit about the history of Mexico City, and made huaraches! It was SO fun to get our hands in the dough and get to cook the huaraches on the big griddle. Eating them was even more fun! My daughter said it was the best meal she had our entire trip! Sharon was our guide, and we loved spending the morning with her! She was so fun and accommodating with the kids, it was like hanging out with a friend:)

We had an awesome time with Mena for this tour! She is incredibly knowledgable, warm, and easy to talk to. We learned so much and ate lots of delicious foods! I love that she makes it a point to support family owned (often women or indigenous owned) businesses!

This street food tour is a fantastic way to learn about the neighborhoods that maybe you would not have otherwise known to visit. There is delicious vegetarian and vegan food all over CDMX. On this tour you will taste food made lovingly by locals and learn about the city, past and present. It’s great information to have both for the first time traveler and those that are looking for more unique places to try. Mena is a wealth of knowledge and I especially enjoyed hearing about the social affairs of the people in Mexico City. She makes the tour so much fun, it’s like walking the neighborhoods with friends. Come hungry because you will be incredibly full by the end!
