A multi-generational taco tour - Our tour with Daniel was outstanding. We had five adults (including two grandparents) and two children, ages 12 and 14. The tour was very well organized with time to sit in some places, a bathroom break, and so much amazing food. Daniel explained how tacos are made and told us about different types of corn and cooking techniques. He also talked about the architecture in the neighborhoods where we walked. He was very kind to the kids and they responded enthusiastically to foods that were entirely new to them. In addition to stopping at various places serving food, he took us to the market and told us about different fruits and other things. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time with Daniel and recommend him highly.

A fantastic tour for a multigenerational group! - This was our fourth time doing a tour with Taco Mensch, but the first time doing a tour with our whole family - ranging from 12 to 76, and including a picky vegetarian. Daniel made the experience amazing for everyone - it was our first adventure in Mexico City and it really set the tone for an amazing trip. Daniel was flexible and fun and his laid back approach made the kids comfortable with trying some new foods. We also really loved the way he pointed out interesting architecture and told the stories of the neighborhoods. This is a must-do tour in Mexico City

Best tacos in Mexico City! - I booked this tour for my daughter (age 8) and I who were visiting Mexico City, and for two friends who both live in Mexico City. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY A DELIGHT! Avidan's knowledge and passion for Tacos and Mexican food is infectious. The walking tour is just the right amount of walking, eating, sharing, exploring and learning and well worth the price. The tacos are DELICIOUS and very different from stop to stop. Beyond a food tour, you also get to connect with the other attendees from around the world, which is a bonus! I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to know where the best tacos are in Mexico City!

What a great time - Great taco tour, Avidan is very knowledgeable about not only tacos, but so many other topics as well. It feels like you're walking around with a friend. Very accommodating for vegetarians and carnivores.

Such a great time! - I have to admit, for moment a questioned a "taco tour" --- how different would it be from just eating street food on our own? WELL - we had such a GREAT DAY WITH YOU and had foods that we would not normally have had the experience to try not to mention the fact that we shared our experience with three other really fun people with whom we ended up spending the rest of the day. It truly felt like we were out on the town with an old friend. Delicious foods -- and history. When I bring my family back to MCX we will sign up again! Thank you!

Eat great food in a great place - This was the perfect event to do with friends! Not only do you get to eat and experience amazing local products, but you also get to walk around beautiful neighborhoods in Mexico City and learn more about the culture. My whole bachelorette party group had a wonderful time, and by the end, we truly felt like we had a friend in Mexico City! He also went above and beyond by sending additional recommendations for the rest of our vacation. Avidan and Daniel are great at communicating in advance, they work around any dietary restrictions, and the food is delicious. My whole group highly recommends this experience.

Walk, eat, and enjoy the beautiful city and it's people - Highly recommend!! The host is super friendly, and has a great connection with the locals. You learn so much and see so many unique pieces of the city and its food you wouldn't see without the tour. Walking through the market, seeing the tortillaria, and enjoying the different types of tacos was a really memorable experience! It's also affordable, vig CASH to tip. Still kicking myself, but duh no venmo.
