What You’ll Experience

1

La Merced

Start your day like a true chilango (that’s what we call Mexico City locals) with freshly steamed tamales and a cup of warm atole—a comforting traditional breakfast that goes way back in Mexican culture. While you eat, you’ll dive into the fascinating corn legacy that shaped Mexico’s identity. Next up: mole. But not just any mole—this rich, complex willow has roots in pre-Hispanic cuisine and has evolved into one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes. Get ready to taste history in a single bite. We’ll cool down with a handmade pineapple drink you’ll only find in this market—a true hidden gem in the heart of the city. We’ll wrap things up with a juicy, made-to-order steak taco straight from the griddle. No filters, no fancy plating—just the way locals eat it. Are you ready to go off the beaten path and taste the real Mexico City?
