Exceptional food, extraordinary stories

Food should not just be enjoyed but experienced. Our CDMX culinary and cultural tours, led by taco and city obsessives, bring you into the delicious and fascinating maiz-filled folds of Mexico City. Your guide, the Taco Mensch*, knows where to get the real thing, whether you’re looking for the tastiest bites or deepest lore– our food and culture tours are one of a kind. 

Taquerias, where the entire menu is in English? Restaurants featured in every guidebook or hyped on TikTok? Sites and historical facts that only scratch the surface? Yeah, we skip all that and take you straight into the heart of Mexico City, where the locals go for the best “tacos al pastor,” and the mole is as rich as the story. 

Speaking of stories — your guide’s got ‘em. Rich, historical knowledge, quirky anecdotes, fun facts (why a dried pepper has a different name than a fresh pepper, for instance), insider-only recommendations — the kinds of serendipitous travel gems you only get from a die-hard local.

*mensch | men(t)SH | noun. a person of integrity and honor. In this context, a mensch is someone you can rely on to find the hidden gems of CDMX.

“The best food tour I have done in my life.”

— Shivjit, who wishes he could eat Pastor tacos every day

The original (or OG) Taco Mensch is Avidan Lebenthal. 

Avidan was born in Mexico City and spent his childhood between Israel, Brazil, and Venezuela — a true culinary coming of age. Growing up with many different cultures helped Avidan develop his palette and passion for food and hospitality (a.k.a. “making sure everyone has an amazing time,” as he likes to say). After almost two decades in the restaurant industry, he returned to Mexico City to rediscover his origins — and share the city’s exquisite, masterful, and humbling cuisine with curious travelers. 

Avidan and his fellow Taco Menches are ready to welcome you to Mexico City. We’re all about opening windows wide to show you new cultures through deliciousness and leave you with unforgettable stories that’ll linger on your tastebuds. Our love for Mexican food is so contagious you’ll never experience a taco the same way again.
