I'm Jyoti: a Chicago kid raised on Punjabi home cooking and Midwest comfort food, a pharmacist turned WSET-certified wine geek, and, since 2022, a full-time Mexico City taco obsessive. I traded spreadsheets for tortillas to share the taquerías, natural wines, and mezcals I'd send my own friends to. Expect insider stops, real stories behind every bite, and a guide who will absolutely tell you which salsa is the spicy one.

WHAT YOU'LL TASTE 

Every stop pairs a taco with a sip and a story. Here's a taste of the route:

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

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

  • Sparkling wine from an Old World producer.

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

  • An Asian-fusion taco paired with another mezcal.

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

Closing line: 4 taco tastings, 2 wine pours, 2 mezcal pours, 1 beer, zero tourist traps.

  • Had a great time with Jyoti, she was a wonderful host and took us to some amazing places for drinks and tacos. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Mexico City.

  • We spent our last night in Mexico City on this tour and it was the best decision we made. We kicked things off with three delicious birria tacos from a food stall run by the same man for 37 years. The flavours were incredible. This was followed by a natural wine production from the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California and a sparkling wine and more food than we could eat. Including a smoked avocado taco! Highly recommend.

  • Taco Sommelier is the perfect wine and taco tour through in a cool neighborhood in Mexico City. The tour was in English and the vibe slapped. Get ready for traditional and new age tacos, as well perfect wine stops exploring Mexican-cultivated wines. 10 out of 10 recommend.
