Amazing Vegan & Vegetarian Street food

Amazing afternoon/ evening of walking through different areas of Mexico City and getting to try so many different types of foods from a range of vendors. Mena (the guide) was very knowledgeable and made sure i was completely catered, being a vegan. Everything was delicious and i cant wait to re-visit some of the businesses we visited for the rest of the time I’m here.

Pros: Variety of vendors , 2 types of Pan de muerto

Stop reading this review and book onto their Vegan street food tour

My first day of a 3 week trip and what a way to start with the Vegan street food tour.
The food was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend this to anyone new in Mexico and especially if you are vegan (or vegetarian) or just a foodie. The places we went are where true locals were eating at.
Mena, as the host, truly went above and beyond to accommodate everyone in the group and stay true to her principles of supporting local people.
Make sure you go on an empty stomach because you will be eating lots of delicious food.

A trip highlight



My wife & I booked two different tours with this company and they were fantastic - both the street food tour and the wrestling tour were highlights of our time in Mexico City. As two Australian vegans who speak nearly no Spanish at all, having a guide made a world of difference.


Sharon was our guide for both days, and she instantly made us comfortable. It was like having a friend show us around the city! Especially because we had the two different days together and we went at a quiet time of year so it was just us in the group.


The food tour was 100% worth doing on an empty stomach and as early as you can in your time in the city just in case you want to go back anywhere. The wrestling is a fantastic cultural experience and although you can do it without a guide, it felt a lot safer doing it with the tour as the area is not the safest spot.


We would whole heartedly recommend this company to any travelling vegetarians or vegans and haven't stopped raving about the experience to our friends and family!

Wonderful

Our food tour with Mena was a highlight of our time in Mexico City. She was super energetic and enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge of local food culture and vendors. We ate far too much incredible food at some out of the way places we would never had ventured or found on our own. When she says show up hungry she really means it! I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the history of meso-American food (which was plant-based) or just interested in eating great street food in the city, whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or not!

Hello Loav,
We apologize for our lack of communication. As a business that runs food tours, we were unsure about the pandemic and we could have handled our interaction with you much better.
We apologize again and we hope you give us another chance in the future.

Worth it

If you have already spent some time in Mexico City, some of the stops maybe be a little duplicative of what you have already found, but I think it's still worth it. We met David and a host-in-training who both had a great vibe and were quite knowledgeable. The mood of the small tour group at the end of the day was great...it seemed like everyone felt that they got something out of it. Also, it didn't feel conspicuous or corny as i was worried it might.

Only downside was that the communication beforehand was a little spotty and disorganized ao I had planned my week around this tour, but didn't feel super confident that it was actually going to happen. I initially went to the wrong part of the park where the tour was meeting and they left without me, but David doubled back to get me when I contacted him on whatsapp. A little more help identifying the correct location and who to look for in advance would be great.

Pros: Friendly, easygoing local tour guide, Impromptu stops at vendors you cannot google

Cons: Disorganized communication
