Unlocking Mexico City: Flavors, Football, and a Touch of Luxury

Imagine spending an evening in Mexico City that combines world-class cuisine, the electric atmosphere of a top-tier football match, and the convenience of private transportation—all for $168 per person. This Flavors and Goals Food and Drink Tour with Club América offers a curated experience designed for those who want to soak in authentic local flavors, cheer on an iconic team, and enjoy a hassle-free night out.
What we really like about this tour is how it seamlessly blends the cultural pleasures of eating well with the thrill of live sports — with no worries about traffic or parking. Plus, the option of a private chef preparing a customized meal at your accommodation is a thoughtful touch, especially if you prefer a more intimate dining experience.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience
Setting the Scene: Mexico City’s Football and Culinary Scene
This tour kicks off with pickup at your accommodation, a boon for travelers tired of navigating Mexico City’s busy streets. Having a private driver means you can relax while the guide (whose name isn’t specified but is clearly attentive) navigates the city’s traffic, ensuring a timely start.
The first highlight is the full meal at a handpicked restaurant, where you’ll enjoy a starter, main course, dessert, and drinks — either cocktails or wine. The emphasis here is on quality and reservation, so you can expect an experience that’s both comfortable and authentic. Two standout restaurants are featured, though the exact venues aren’t named, they are chosen for their culinary excellence and local flavor.
Why We Love the Dining Experience
One of the stellar aspects is the reserved table and prearranged menu, allowing you to savor Mexican cuisine without the usual wait or uncertainty. It’s a luxury to start your night with a carefully curated meal, particularly if you’re a foodie who appreciates attention to detail. On top of that, the drinks included can include wine or cocktails, adding a touch of celebration to your evening.
A recurring theme in reviews is the value of not having to worry about tipping the server or driver — all gratuities are handled, which simplifies the experience. If you do wish to tip, that’s entirely optional.
The Football: Midfield Seats with a View
Post-dinner, it’s off to Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, a stadium with a history dating back to 1946. Originally hosting American football before shifting focus to soccer, this venue is a setting packed with local passion. You’ll sit midfield, offering an incredible view of the pitch, and be surrounded by thousands of devoted fans supporting Club América, one of Mexico’s most popular teams.
The tickets are included in the price, and the stadium’s atmosphere is what makes this experience shine. From the roar of the crowd to the sight of players darting across the pitch, this is a genuine taste of Mexican football fervor.

What’s Not Included
While your seats and transportation are covered, food and drinks at the stadium are not. We advise bringing cash—about 500-1,000 MXN per person—to buy stadium snacks or beverages if desired. This allows you to customize your experience and possibly enjoy some local street foods during the game.
How the Night Wraps Up
After the match, your private driver will whisk you back to your accommodation, making sure you arrive comfortably and stress-free, with no parking hassles or navigating unfamiliar streets. The entire experience is designed to be convenient and immersive without the typical logistical worries.
Additional Options and Considerations
If you prefer a more relaxed dining experience, there’s an alternative private chef option at your stay, where a meal is prepared to your liking. This flexibility is great if you’re craving a cozy night in or have specific dietary needs.
However, keep in mind that the tour is non-refundable, so if your plans change, you might need to consider carefully before booking.
Who Will Love This Tour?

This tour is perfect for avid football supporters who want premium seats and a lively atmosphere. It’s also well-suited for culinary travelers eager to indulge in authentic Mexican dishes without the stress of planning. Those seeking a seamless evening—thanks to private transport and reservations—will find this experience particularly valuable.
It’s less ideal for travelers who prefer flexible, open-ended plans or who might need to cancel last-minute, given the non-refundable policy. Those who want to explore multiple neighborhoods or attractions beyond the stadium and dining are better served by a different tour.
