We’ll start this tour in the Downtown Historic Center, we will walk directly to La Merced market. There, we’ll wind through the market’s lively banquetón, or prepared food area, tasting different tacos, quesadillas, aguas frescas and tamales. After that, we’ll stroll through the gigantic fruits and vegetables building, and learn about - and taste! - prehispanic ingredients, such as grasshoppers and agave worms. After a quick stop to rest, we’ll leave the market and walk back to La Merced neighborhood where we’ll finish up the tour with a refreshing drink and a snack in a beautiful restaurant, a hidden gem you won’t want to miss!
