What to expect from our Flavors of Mexico Food Tour

Indulge in a delicious selection of 7 local dishes and 3 refreshing Mexican Cocktails local restaurants that have defined Mexican gastronomy in Cancun. In the early years, Downtown Cancun’s easy access to local markets full of fresh meats, ingredients, condiments and fruits made it a target for local restaurant owners with knowledge from secrets and recipes from other parts of Mexico to open their doors.

Downtown Cancun has been transformed in several ways in the last few years. After struggling a bit earlier to attract tourism and even locals, Cancun’s central neighborhood has been repurposed with a new plan that included the opening of several hotels, hostels and restaurants that reactivated the once glorious activity of the beginnings of Cancun. When taking our food tour, you will be tasting a piece of Cancun’s history & culture on each bite & sip. Our tour starts with a comfortable hotel pick up. You will be greeted by our guide who will be the one in charge of sharing all the details & information about each dish, drink and every restaurant on the tour.

How much food will you eat?

  • Pescadillas
  • Ceviche Tostada
  • Panucho de Cochinita
  • Taco de Pastor
  • Taco de Arrachera

In addition to all the food you will also have the opportunity to experience live mariachi music, traditional Mexican games and the chance to meet people from all over the world. Stop thinking about it! Book this memorable foodie experience!

Amazing - could not recommend more! One of the absolute highlights of our trip!! Thank you to Roy (our guide) and Alex (our driver) for a spectacular excursion in Downtown Cancun. This tour is a great way to get a little taste of different local cuisines without having to do a ton of research on your own and figure out your own transportation. I doubt we would have found these places on our own. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cancun, especially those staying at a resort and looking to experience something a little more "real" Despite booking at the last minute (the evening before) we got a quick response from the company confirming our spot and pickup time the next morning. We got picked up from our hotel right on time, and Alex drove us into town to all the spots. Great communication and timing all around. We ended up being the only two people on the tour, which was great because we really got a chance to chat with Roy (who is lovely!) and things were able to be more tailored - for example, we told Roy we were big coffee drinkers and he ended up grabbing us an cup of cafe de olla, which was ridiculously delicious! The food overall was incredible - way better than anything we had on our trip. We got dropped off at our hotel about 4 hours after pickup, VERY full of incredible food and very ready to walk it off with a beach walk!

Great authentic experience We loved our cooking class with Diego. It was very hands on, he explained everything carefully and answered all of our questions. It was a small class which was great because we all got to take a turn and do some things by hand. The food was great and my parents and I really enjoyed and learned

Great taste of Cancun This was an excellent tour with amazing food. Our guide G was personable and knowledgable. You could tell he is very proud of his home city, Cancun. The variations of tacos was very interesting and we loved being welcomed to the 4 restaurants. If you are doing the morning tour dont eat breakfast or just a very light one, you will be full when you are done.

Fantastic Tour First our guide and driver were amazing. G was so knowledgeable and Alex keeps us safely on the road. The tacos we ate were fantastic . Very flavorful and a drink at every stop. We went to a local market that that was very economical. We stopped for dessert to get an ice cream popsicle. So delicious!! We had a great time.

Tacos, beer, and a great guide—a fun combo The trip was fun! Our main guide, Diego, was informative, friendly, and helpful. We got picked up from our hotel which was near the airport, then driven around to various Taquerias. The tacos and drinks were tasty. We met a few other gringos who were part of the trip and we all had a good time. If I come back to Cancun, I would do this again!

A Fun and Yummy Excursion! The food tour and cooking class with Diego was great. Experienced a local market, learned some new recipes and made our own tortillas with other dishes. Diego provided lots of information and is a fun host and guide to make our day excellent. Very good excursion option.

Great way to get some traditional Mexican food with a knowledgeable tour guide, and to see some of the city you might otherwise Did the day time food and street art tour with Alex driving and G giving the tour. It was amazing! G was knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and put up with my terrible attempts at Spanish. He knew the history of the foods and of the places we were visiting, and the hints to make the best of the meals. The places he took us all felt extremely authentic and the food was devine. Though I recommend going overboard on the habanero sauce with the carnitas - the meat is really soft but also very dense, so when you split it into two wraps, my sauce all went with one and the other was just the meat sans sauce! The art was an excellent final stop, beautiful street art and interesting themes and inspiration. Market was interesting and if I could have taken kilos of dried chillies home with me, I would. Couldn't recommend the tour enough, great way to see some of the city and get some more traditional Mexican cuisine in while you do!

Great way to see a different side of Cancun and to learn to make delicious Mexican food. We really enjoyed this food tour! Diego, our instructor and guide was open & friendly, taking time to answer any and all questions, food-related or not. Alex, our driver, held down the fort while we shopped and cooked. We had a tour around the market, which was active and interesting, and then we all went to a local restaurant for the cooking class. We made tortillas, sopas, enchiladas, quesadillas, salsa, and rice pudding, and then sat together to enjoy our feast. We met some very nice people, too. If they offered a “Part II” we would do that, too.

Awesome Tour Our guide, Diego was awesome! Our driver was great as well (unfortunately I do not remember his name). The food was awesome and Diego gave a great explanation of what to expect prior to arriving to each spot. He was kind, knowledgeable, and open to answer any questions at any time. So glad we booked this tour and Diego was our guide. Highly recommend!!!
