MEET THE HOOD MAY & JUNE · SAN RAFAEL·
With this series you'll get to know a different neighborhood of Mexico City every 2 months. This will showcase each barrio's unique vibe through its food, drinks, quirks, the casual landmark and of course its marvelous people. From fancy tortillerías to street stands, from dessert shops to old-school cantinas and anything in between. We'll dig into the secrets of the barrio as we fall in love with it!

$95 USD minimum of 2 people
CENTRAL DE ABASTOS
You know, just the biggest wholesale market in the world—no big deal.
Tucked into the southwest of Mexico City, this massive complex is where the city truly feeds itself, and it’s not for the faint of heart. The tour starts early (7:30am sharp) and includes a lot of walking—often at the pace of a speeding dolly—through crowded aisles buzzing with vendors, buyers, and heavy-duty logistics.
We’ll explore areas most people never see, including the open-market area, and catch a glimpse of what’s considered the largest open-air art exhibition on the planet.
It’s fast, loud, overwhelming—and completely unforgettable.
$155 USD
AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST ONLY
MILPA ALTA & THE CACTUS FIELDS
This is a full-day experience led by a renowned chef and his family in Milpa Alta, a rural region on the city’s southern edge.
Starting around 7:30am and wrapping up by 5:00pm, the day includes harvesting your own nopales, learning about masa and the nixtamalization process from local corn producers, and seeing how traditional mole is made right where it’s been prepared for generations. Along the way, you’ll enjoy incredible home-cooked meals, deep conversations, and a rare look at the roots of Mexico’s food culture.
