There’s a certain magic that ties together a perfectly timed taco, a chef’s table dinner, a vineyard lunch, or a simple picnic on a remote beach. Each setting becomes a story, shaped by the people around you and the flavors that anchor you in the moment. Mexican food is UNESCO-recognized as an evolving expression of history, geography, and creativity. It’s about gathering and connection, linking diners to the land, the ingredients, and the hands that bring each dish to life.
Across this vast and varied country, meals center on family, community, and sharing – we love to bring this feeling to our guests, from assembling tacos together at a sizzling street stall and learning how to shop at the market to create a traditional Mexican mole and enjoying private themed dinners in cultural landmarks. Here’s some inspiration for creatively eating your way around Mexico:
Mexico City Tacos, the Journey Way
Walk Santa Maria la Rivera neighborhood (a glimpse into how the trendy Roma and Condesa districts used to feel pre-popularity), learn how to make tortillas – the foundation of a great taco – and dive in flavor at a super local taco stall, contrasted with a second stop at a contemporary spot.
Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe
Stay at a luxury boutique, explore the vineyard scene and savor dishes at renowned restaurants, expertly paired with wines from the valley.
Tijuana’s Urban Culture
Take a deep dive into a city shaped by migration and imagination. Visit the city’s beloved food trucks, a buzzing hangout with mouthwatering dishes dreamed up by boundary-pushing chefs.
Lobster Burritos
Make a stop in northern Baja’s coastal Puerto Nuevo and eat like the locals do – fresh lobster, beans, and flour tortillas – getting messy is part of the fun!
Sip Mexican Spirits
Ride RZRs to a raicilla distillery near Sayulita to explore the grounds, the process, and taste agave spirit full of folklore and local pride. Take part in a cooking class in the open kitchen and learn how to shake raicilla cocktails with a mixologist.

Frida Kahlo Dinner Party
The iconic painter’s Casa Azul house-museum delights our travelers with an inside look at the artist’s world – celebrate life with food and good company as Frida did with a private dinner in her garden. Interest is especially high this year with a major Tate Modern exhibition coming to London in 2026 and the opening of Mexico City’s new Red House Museum celebrating her origins and family ties.
Diego Rivera Mural Museum
We’re hosting personalized dinners in front of the artist’s legendary work: Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central. Enjoy creative themes, from pre-Hispanic plates to a typical spread from Rivera’s revolutionary era.
The Original Salsa Tool
Journey from San Miguel de Allende to the town of Comonfort, where you’ll meet a master artisan of “molcajetes”, Mexico’s pestle and mortars crafted from volcanic rock – a timeless tool for mixing delicious salsas (you’ll try some of those too!)
Xochimilco’s Hidden Flavors
In southern Mexico City, take a traditional trajinera boat to explore Xochimilco’s chinampas with our partner, Arca Tierra. See how crops are grown using techniques from the ancient Aztecs, before visiting Baldio for lunch: Latin America’s first zero-waste restaurant where the fresh produce is cooked into imaginative dishes. To go deeper, make a stop at Baldio’s lab – the eatery’s experimental headquarters that ferments, pickles and innovates what would usually go to waste.
