About this experience
Mexico City has endless taco lists. The hard part is turning them into one night that actually works: which stalls are open, what to order, how to move between stops without losing the group.
Our San Rafael taco crawl keeps it small and local. Four curated stops, ordering guidance, and round-trip private transport from central CDMX so you can focus on al pastor, suadero, and whatever the night throws at you.
Want a cooking class instead of a crawl? Book The Taco Experience. Want both? We can plan a food-forward weekend. Message us with dates and dietary needs.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this a private taco tour?
- We keep groups small (2-8 guests) for an intimate crawl. Request a fully private group when you book.
- Does the taco crawl include transportation?
- Yes. Round-trip private transportation from your hotel or Airbnb in central Mexico City is included.
- How much does a taco tour in Mexico City cost?
- The Guateque Time taco crawl starts from $65 USD per person for hosting and transport. Food and drinks at each stop are paid separately so you only buy what you want.
- Is a food tour worth it in Mexico City?
- Yes if you want neighborhood picks, ordering help, and logistics handled. DIY works if you already know the city and speak enough Spanish to navigate busy stands confidently.
- Can vegetarians join the taco crawl?
- Often yes, with advance notice. San Rafael has options beyond meat-only trompos. Tell us dietary needs when you inquire so we adjust the stop list.
- What is the difference between the taco crawl and The Taco Experience?
- The crawl is a guided night eating at local stands. The Taco Experience is a hands-on cooking class with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and micheladas. Many visitors do both on different days.
