Awarded Mexican Mole & Mezcal tour: Coyoacan by chef Eduardo – Greater Mexico City, Mexico

EXPERIENCE

Chef Eduardo Palazuelo has designed a unique tour of Coyacán in Mexico City, blending culture and culinary experiences for an enjoyable experience.

Coyoacán, filled with colonial heritage, showcases 16th century churches, convents, and homes adorned with colorful facades and traditional plazas. The neighborhood has a rich artistic legacy, once home to prominent figures like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The Casa Azul (Blue House), Kahlo’s former residence, is now a museum showcasing her life and work, attracting numerous visitors. (Check with us to arrange tickets, they are not included in the tour). Coyoacán is renowned for its relaxed lifestyle, artisanal markets, and diverse culinary scene. Visitors can enjoy traditional Mexican dishes, street food, and international cuisine in charming settings.

We’ll begin, our chef selected a traditional Mexican restaurant where we will taste four different moles with tortillas and mezcal. Remember to let us know your spice preferences– just never say “I like it very spicy” to a Mexican chef! Next, we will visit a local fruit market showcasing rare regional products. Adjacent to it, we will have some appetizers or “antojitos” with another mezcal tasting, featuring insights into pre-Colombian gastronomy to regional cheeses. A food course can’t be complete if we don’t have some coffee and some sweets; churros are a must on any Mexican visit.

Eduardo Palazuelos draws inspiration from the rich traditions and regional cultures reflected in moles, each defined by local ingredients and family recipes. With an expertly curated selection, this tour promises a delightful exploration of Mexico’s culinary heritage.
