Free Taco Tour

Forget the guidebook shortlist — this walk sends you hunting for tacos the way locals actually eat them, stall by stall through Roma and the surrounding streets. Your guide explains the difference between al pastor, carnitas and guisado, why the trompo (spinning spit) matters, and how to order like you've done it a hundred times.

Tastings along the route are paid directly to the vendors, on top of whatever tip you leave your guide — a small price for tacos most tourists never find on their own. Come hungry: between stops you'll also pick up the unwritten rules of Mexican street food, from salsa etiquette to why nobody rushes a good taco.
