The experience
Seven tastings through the Historic Center’s hidden food stops, with the history behind each dish.
A small-group walk to authentic, easy-to-miss food spots in the Historic Center — Aztec-style chilaquiles, chicken enchiladas in mole sauce, hand-made crispy tortillas with guacamole, a hand-sized taco, a sweet from a popular local bakery, an artisanal chocolate bite and a "secret dish".
The guide weaves the history and architecture of the Historic Center between stops, ending near Templo Mayor — a route built for a small, personal group rather than a crowd moving between the same well-known tourist stalls.
