Driving to the Festival: Practical Tips for Golf Owners and Other Visitors
If you plan to drive your Golf, or any car, to a food festival in Mexico City, a little preparation goes a long way. The city is famous for heavy traffic, especially on weekends when markets and cultural events draw crowds from across the metropolitan area. Leaving early helps you find parking before the busiest hours. It also means you reach the stalls while the first pots of mole are fresh and the queues are short.
Mexico City also runs a driving restriction programme, commonly known as Hoy No Circula, which limits when certain vehicles may circulate based on their registration and emissions sticker. Rules can change and may apply to cars registered outside the city, so check the current official guidance before you set off. Many visitors find it easier to drive part of the way and finish the trip by Metro, Metrobús or a ride-hailing service.
Making the most of a mole tasting
Mole is not a single sauce but a whole family of them. Rich, dark mole poblano blends chillies, spices, nuts and a touch of chocolate. Mole verde relies on pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs. Oaxaca is known for several distinct moles, including negro, coloradito and amarillo. A good strategy is to share small portions with friends so you can compare several styles without filling up too soon. Our tasting map can help you plan a route between stalls.
Bring cash in small denominations, as many food vendors prefer it. Carry water, and wear comfortable shoes for long walks between tents. If you travel with a car club, agree on a meeting point away from the busiest food areas and share where you have parked. Before you go, browse the vendor listings to spot the cooks you most want to try. Then check the schedule so you arrive in time for demonstrations or special tastings.
Above all, take your time. Mole recipes are often passed down through generations and can involve dozens of ingredients and many hours of cooking. Asking vendors about their family's version is one of the best ways to enjoy the day.
