If you only have 48 Hours to explore CDMX, we show you cool things to do in Mexico City! Hop on a food tour with us in the Roma neighborhood as we sample 7 dishes in one day, plus enjoy a delicious meal in a hidden courtyard near Zocalo! Come explore the city center of the 5th largest city in the world!
We met up with Eduardo, local guide with Secret Food Tours, to help us discover some of the most authentic spots for classic Mexican dishes like mole, and also sample delicious newer options like Octopus tacos. Winding our way through the Roma neighborhood, we learned about the history and culture with just enough food stops to keep us energized! It’s a day we won’t forget, and Katelyn definitely braved her way through the (habanero) heat of several different bites! The next day after getting our work done, we set out to discover more cultural sites in the Zocolo neighborhood, one of the oldest areas of Mexico City. Many places didn’t make the edit, but we will have a follow-up blog post listing all the places to see in this incredible neighborhood. Be sure to see the slanted buildings around Moneda Avenue!
Our thanks again to Eduardo from Secret Food Tours for providing his time, knowledge and a delicious tour of the city center!
