Masks of Mexico - Lucha libre in Cancun, Tacos and Margaritas!

Spice your vacation up with a true adrenaline-fueled Mexican Fiesta by watching a live Lucha Libre show in Cancun in a local arena, tasting a variety of delicious tacos, and savoring authentic refreshing Margaritas!

The best way to know a place is though food and sports and that’s what Masks of Mexico Lucha Libre Tour in Cancun is about.

Connect with your inner Mexican, in a guided tour through the streets with your own mask. Learn everything from lucha libre, the second most popular sport in Mexico, the history and its connection with food. Visit local neighborhoods and a colorful night food market.

Learn how to make tortillas, and have an amazing dinner in one of the most traditional Mexican restaurants in Cancun with Margaritas, before entering to a lucha libre Arena where the locals go! Even when this is a public event, only few are allowed to get in, as the entrance is hidden in a restaurant’s kitchen (speakeasy). Reserved first-row seats, snacks and drinks are included, because there’s no show with no food!

We take care of everything with comfortable transportation from and to your hotel.

This tour happens only once a week, and offer very limited capacity, so if it happens that you are in town during Thursdays, you can’t miss out!

Sounds like fun? There’s still much more (and it’s all included):

  • Get your Margarita served in a branded 22 oz. yard (and take it home a souvenir).
  • Wear your own Lucha Libre mask (and take it home a souvenir).
  • Learn how to do hand-made  tortillas (make and eat your own!).
  • Listen to an authentic “Mariachi” band live. 
  • Walk through the first park in town +50 years old (now used as a night market).

Learn the history and secrets of Mexican wrestling, how everything started back in 1840, why “Luchadores” wear a mask, if Nacho Libre is real, and a full explanation of the rules so you can cheer with the locals as one of them!

Lucha libre is more than colorful masks, rapid sequences of holds, acrobatics and flying attacks. It is part of Mexican’s culture and we are here to prove it!

Even when this is a public event, only few are allowed to get in, as the entrance is hidden in a restaurant’s kitchen (speakeasy).

Forget worrying about how to get to the location, we have solved everything for you with transportation from and to your hotel!

Fun taco night Guide Diego was very knowledgeable and friendly, it was super fun trip! Weather was quite extreme though, but driver George(? Not sure about his name) was really good at driving on the flooded road. Recommend to future tourists that don't drink too much drinks. You gonna get super full at the end of this trip!

Off the beaten path taco and beer tour This tour was one of the highlights of our Cancun trip. It was my adult son and I and we had a blast. It was great to get out of the tourist area and experience downtown Cancun. Our tour guide Gib was extremely knowledgeable not just about the tacos but also the city. His indepth knowledge made the tlur that much more enjoyable.

Amazing food! Amazing guide and host! Well worth the money! We absolutely loved this experience, Carlos our guide and chef was amazing and very patient while we took lots of pictures, we where lucky to have a 1 on 1 guided tour, he took us to the local markets that the locals use which was vibrant couleeful and cheap! Everyone was very friendly and Carlos was very knowledgeable about the stores and street food giving us recommendations and history of the market! We then wen to la paroles restaurant with the groceries we picked up from the market. Carlos showed us the traditional ways of cooking guacamole, green salsa, red salsa, enchiladas, pico de gallo and many more recipes. Carlos gave us information and history behind the food and showed us the traditional and quicker ways of making the food! He has even emailed us the recipes to make at home! I cannot reccomend this enough. If you love food and tradition please book well worth the money!

Some of the best food spots! G our tour guide and Alex the driver made this whole experience amazing! G had so much knowledge about the local food and really took us to some of the best spots around. G would tell us about the restaurant we were headed to and what drinks they had to offer so we were well informed by the time we arrived. I will be forever dreaming about the Al pastor tacos at one of the last spots! I couldn’t recommend this tour more!!
