Tacos, Natural Wine & Mezcal in Roma


This isn't a race between taco stands. It's a slow, three-hour walk through Roma, one of Mexico City's most beautiful neighborhoods, stopping at independent taquerías and wine spots I'd send my own friends to. At every stop you'll get a taco, a thoughtfully paired sip, and the story of how it ended up on your plate.

The Route:

  1. Jalisco-style taco steeped in centuries-old tradition, paired with a soft drink.

  2. Mexican wine from a producer redefining what Mexican winemaking can be.

  3. Sparkling wine from an Old World producer, and how it compares to what's being made in Mexico.

  4. A Yucatán classic with flavors that trace back to ancient Mayan kitchens, paired with mezcal and beer.

  5. An Asian-fusion taco paired with a second mezcal.

  6. A vegetarian taco unlike any you've had before, paired with an agua fresca.

Stops may change with the seasons and the taquerías' schedules.

What's Included:

  • Four tacos across six stops, including a vegetarian one: plenty for a full meal

  • Mexican wine and Old World sparkling wine, two mezcals, a beer, an agua fresca, and a soft drink
