Your host

Lucía Vargas, Food tour host

Lucía Vargas

Food tour host · Spanish / English

Lucía trained as a chef in Puebla and ran a market-to-table supper club in Roma Norte for four years. She now runs Mexicaning food tours full-time: seven authentic tastings, no tourist-trap stops, and a long-running argument with her tía about the best al pastor in Centro.

  • ★★★★★Sophie W. · Australia

    Lucía took us to places I would never have found alone. The taco al pastor at the third stop changed my standards forever. She tells you what to order in Spanish so the stall vendors take you seriously.

  • ★★★★★Joon-ho P. · South Korea

    Six tastings plus a surprise mezcal. We came hungry, left full and happy. Lucía was patient with my limited Spanish and walked us through every ingredient.

  • ★★★★★Andrea S. · Mexico

    Soy chilanga y aún así descubrí dos puestos nuevos en el Centro. Lucía sabe leer el barrio. Súper recomendado para amigos visitando la ciudad.
