About this trip

Eat your way through the often overlooked parts of Mexico City while supporting the local economy and family-owned businesses.


+Please note this is a grassroots tour. We won't take you to Condesa/Polanco/fancy places+


Are you a vegan or vegetarian, and feel like you are missing out on Mexico City's iconic street food? Fear not, for we are here to feed you! This all-you-can-eat adventure will have you eat your way through middle and working-class Mexican neighborhoods packed with delicious and authentic food like tlacoyos, quesadillas, all while suporting local and family/minority owned businesses.

Focusing on four different neighborhoods and with a route that spans approximately 3.5 km through CDMX, we will visit hidden gems, street-food stalls, and brick-and-mortar family places. I'll immerse you in Mexico City's local culture and show you where we Mexicans eat and hang out.

You will taste traditional vegan (or veggie!) street food, vegan tacos al pastor & suadero made from soy, the best vegan tiramisu, tortas de milanesa and even churros!

We will go into detail about how the food is made, and give you information about its relevance and place in Mexican culture. Furthermore, we will also dive into the current social and political context of the city.

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!

We had a fulfilling travel tour with Sharon! Walked through the different neighborhoods in downtown Mexico City, discovered some amazing vegetarian and vegan tacos. The vegan Chicharrón and exotic mushrooms were definitely the highlight. The tour was about 4.5 hours and we were absolutely amazed with the food, local people and the views of the city. Would recommend the food tour to anyone looking to explore vegetation Mexican food in CDMX.
