- On this food tour, We’ll be exploring the Mexico City's Centro Historico . Along the way, we’ll also get a crash course in the city's history, layer by delicious layer. We’ll start the day off by visiting two neighborhood breakfast institutions. As we work our way through the bustling cobblestoned streets, we’ll also stop by several beloved food stands, from one serving the area’s best carnitas to another that sells escamocho, a tropical fruit cocktail like no other. We’ll duck into a side alley for homey enchiladas at a workers’ lunch spot and explore the edible offerings at a 1930s-era covered market that is also home to a stunning display of public art. There will be a stop at a neighborhood cantina that remains unchanged from when it first opened 100 years ago, among other stops. It will be a day full of rewarding surprises – the kind only El Centro can provide.

- Description
- The area encompassing the Centro Histórico, Mexico City’s oldest quarter, has been the metropolis’s beating heart for some 700 years; it’s a neighborhood of countless historical layers. This is where the Aztecs first started building their capital, where the Spanish conquerors first planted a flag to build their colonial empire and where modern Mexico City, today a sprawling megalopolis, first emerged. The neighborhood is also home to the city’s “Greatest Hits,” those churches, palaces and museums that are on every visitor’s to-do list. But in a district this rich in culture and history, there are a myriad “B-sides” – hidden gems that also deserve to be explored. This is particularly true when it comes to eating in the Centro: For every famous taco stand and restaurant there are countless others that are equally as enticing, if not more so.
- On our day out, we’ll be exploring the district’s deep tracks – with an emphasis on the out-of-the-way food spots that keep El Centro going – looking out for those quieter stories only heard by venturing through an unmarked wooden door.
