Tacology : From the ancient metate to the Michelin Guide in Mexico City




Tacology : From the ancient metate to the Michelin Guide in Mexico City
Explore Mexico City's taco evolution in small groups, from traditional taquerias to Michelin-acclaimed spots. Uncover taco history, technique, and cultural roots on this immersive journey.
Experience Details
Discover Mexico City through a cultural and gastronomic experience in small groups, designed to understand the origin, evolution and secrets of Mexico’s most emblematic dish: taco.
Along the way we will visit three stops that combine history, tradition and practical learning.
We will start in a traditional taqueria to know the origin of the taco, the cooking techniques of its most representative stews and the label to eat it as a real Mexican.
Afterwards, we will visit a family space where you will discover the biodiversity of Creole corn, the process of nixtamalization, the variety of chilies and the use of pre-Hispanic tools such as metate and molcajete.
We will finish in an establishment recognized by the Michelin Guide for elevating the blockbuster tradition with excellence and authenticity.
More than a tasting tour, it is a cultural immersion to understand why taco is a symbol of Mexican identity.
