Description

At the indicated time, we’ll meet at Rinconada de Jesús, 548, and from this spot in downtown Mexico City, we’ll begin our culinary tour of La Merced Market. Get your taste buds ready!

From the starting point, we'll make our way over to the La Merced Market - one of the most popular markets in the capital. Over the next 2 hours, we'll stroll through the town's streets and stalls and appreciate the variety of ingredients and food in Mexico.

We'll try various traditional Mexican dishes including Pozole, tacos, quesadillas, fruit, horchata, natural fruit water, pre-Hispanic ingredients, traditional sweets, and much more!

While we're here, we'll also delve into the history of this market. For example, we'll learn that the market is named after the monastery of Nuestra Señora de la Merced de la Redención de los Cautivos. What remains now of this monastery? Let's find out!

We'll then depart from La Merced and proceed to the Sonora Market. Here, we'll explore this market's historical roots and discover some of the location's most distinctive religious articles. This market, established in the 1950s, is among the capital's renowned marketplaces.

For those with a sweet tooth, we'll suggest one of the city's sweetest spots, Pastelería Ideal, where you can taste traditional Mexican bread.

After a 4-hour gastronomic tour, we'll walk back to the starting point.
