Overview

Travel to the origin of Mexican cuisine through corn, the sacred grain that has nurtured bodies, stories and traditions for more than 7,000 years. On this tour of the bohemian and colorful neighborhood of Coyoacán, you will discover much more than flavors: you will live a history that is eaten, walked and felt.

Each tasting reveals the essential role of corn in the pre-Hispanic worldview, its spiritual significance, its transformation over time and its daily presence in Mexican cuisine today. More than a meal, it is a sensory journey that connects past and present in every bite.

Ideal for lovers of culture, history and authentic Mexican cuisine, this experience will allow you to understand why without corn, there is no Mexico.
