What you’ll do

Merced and Sonora markets are vibrant microcosms of Mexican culture, alive with history and everyday tradition. Stalls burst with color and aroma, and every turn reveals flavors that tell the city’s story. We’ll begin at the Mexico City Museum and head into the markets together. We’ll taste pozole, sample seasonal fruits, chat with vendors, and wander the maze of food stands. Come hungry and curious. This is a sensory journey through authentic street food, lovingly preserved across generations.

Meet the hosts

I've explored La Merced and Sonora Markets since I was 11 years old, and my family has owned three taquerias in the area for more than 40 years. These markets are more than my workplace they're my home. Certified by Mexico's Ministry of Tourism, I combine authentic local knowledge with professional guiding to share the history, traditions, flavors, and hidden corners that most visitors never get to experience. My goal is to help every guest discover the real heart of Mexico City through its people, food, and culture. welcoming travelers helping them discover the authentic side of Mexico City beyond the typical tourist attractions.
