There is no better way to wash down tacos with a delicious agua fresca or a cold beer. We will also sample some mezcal and finish with amazing Mexican coffee and artisanal chocolate.

Hola! my name is Avidan, I was born in Mexico and spent my childhood between Israel, Brazil, and Venezuela. As I grew up, I discovered culture through the food and hospitality of each country.
After more than 15 years in the restaurant industry around the world. I came back to Mexico with a desire to rediscover my birthplace, as well as it's exquisite, masterful and incredibly humbling cuisine. Now, I use my love of hosting to transmit my passion for sensational foods and great hospitality, in order to create amazing experiences for my guests.

Took Avidan's tour during my stopover in Mexico City. It was the perfect way to spend my couple hours in Mexico City. He was very welcoming and knowledgable about the food and culture. The food stops tasted amazing and by the end I felt like I had really seen the local spots in Roma and Condesa

Touring around Roma and Condesa with Avidan was an incredible experience. We had an amazing time from start to finish, and left feeling not only full, but that we had truly learned about Mexican culture and cuisine. Truly this was much more of an experience than a tour.
Avidan is casual, fun, and rolled with the punches. Someone in our group was not feeling well, and he found suitable alternatives for them to eat, going so far as to find them a bowl of chicken soup. Mensch is the perfect word to describe him. On top of all of that - this tour is a great value.

We had an outstanding afternoon with Avidan. He was charming, knowledgable and engaging, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the Mexican culture and food history. He adapted the tour to suit the group and offered insights into so much more than the food. The pacing was perfect, and he shared a wide variety of experiences with us. We have had the privilege of enjoying a few experiences, and this was one of our favourites. Highly recommend!!!
