About
- Santa María la Ribera, little known to most travelers, is a beautiful, 19th-century neighborhood of cafés and restaurants, plus traditional shops you’re starting to see less of in Mexico City—shoemakers, carpenters, tailors.
- On this tour, designed by our guide Nico Garcia, a former chef, you’ll visit the best places to eat in the area.
- And you’ll learn the stories of the vendors and entrepreneurs who are shaping the modern character of this close-knit, artsy neighborhood.
Highlights
- Visit a hidden pulquería, where locals toss back an ancestral Mexican beverage made from fermented maguey sap
-Try a “concha rellena”, an iconic Mexico City street bread topped with a crunchy chocolate or vanilla layer with a creamy and buttery filling. - Soak up the atmosphere in this interesting, leafy neighborhood that has attracted artists and intellectuals since the 1860s
