The Devoured Way

··· FOOD EXPERIENCES BUILT ON CONNECTION, NOT CHECKLISTS ··· These are not stops along a route. These are relationships, people and places that shape every Devoured experience. Devoured is not just a food tour. It is a celebration of Mexico’s culinary heritage, built through close collaboration with the vendors, cooks and producers who give this city its flavor. Their knowledge, skill and stories are central to everything we do. Founded by Anais Martínez, known as The Curious Mexican, Devoured brings her passion for Mexico to life through experiences designed to show the country from the inside out. Guests are invited to experience Mexico City through the lens of a food writer, taco connoisseur and natural wine enthusiast. We do not treat people or traditions as props. Devoured actively rejects tokenism, choosing trust, long term relationships and deep respect for the communities we work with. COME CURIOUS. LEAVE CONNECTED. AND FULL.
