Gringa Mexican Food Tour

Gringa Mexican Food Tours is a tour company within the neighborhood of Coyoacan (10 miles from the airport), that has been designed to highlight the culture, history, and most importantly, the food of this area of Mexico. The tour was started by an American living in Mexico City. With the unique perspective of a fellow foreigner, tour-goers will get the advantage of having the comparison of what you thought you knew about Mexican food, to what the authentic food is really like. This tour is located near several museums such as the Museo Frida Kahlo (La Casa Azul), as well as, other attractions that may be lost to many visiting the city, as Coyoacan can be overlooked. The area is lined with cobblestone streets and greenery and is lively both in the day and at night.

Museo Frida Kahlo

The lifelong home of Frida Kahlo is now a museum dedicated to the work of this famous 20th-century artist.

Reviewed By Seanspacifica - St. Albans, United Kingdom

I highly recommend visiting the Frida Kahlo museum, and if you’re English it’s worth paying the extra pesos to have an audio guide. The house is beautiful with so many original artifacts and paintings, and it’s a great way to get a feel for the colourful character that Frida Kahlo was. It’s a very popular attraction so to avoid VERY long queues, it’s best to book ahead.

Museo Casa De Leon Trotsky

The house where Leon Trotsky, the exiled Russian leader, lived the final three years of his life in the 1930s.

Reviewed By MissMem - Memphis, United States

The Trosky museum/home is not far from the Kahlo museum/home. The stories of these two people and their lifestyles are profoundly connected. Trotsky was a house guest at the Kahlo home and after an assassination attempt moved to his own dwelling. The museum is fascinating in its attempt to preserve Trotsky's life style and his political beliefs. This visual history lesson needs to be experienced.

Jardin Centenario

This bucolic park is surrounded by a number of colonial buildings.

Reviewed By womanseyeview - Barrie, Canada

A delightful park with its iconic coyote fountain, surrounding markets and treed, oasis feel. There are lots of restaurants nearby but also a great street food section across the square. There are also two artisan's markets and additional ones on the weekend. There are many historic buildings, ancient cathedral and traditional streets in the surrounding neighbourhood. Its a very relaxing place to spend time, eat ice cream and watch families stroll by.

Mercado de Coyoacan

Reviewed By marvisd2016 - Goldsboro, United States

If I’d been staying in the area longer this would have been my favorite shop for produce...and flowers! A real treasure trove! We ate an early lunch at one of the food stands inside and their little vegan tortillas with squash blossoms were divine!
