Overview

Most visitors to Cancún never leave the Hotel Zone, and that’s where they miss the city’s best food. This tour takes you into downtown Cancún, where real local cooking lives, connecting you with family-run eateries, street vendors, and food markets serving flavours from across Mexico.

Instead of resort-style dining, you’ll taste the dishes locals actually eat, from handmade tamales and slow-roasted lechón tortas to stuffed gorditas and chilli-spiked chamoy nieve. Along the way, you’ll also gain insight into Cancún’s transformation from a small fishing village into the vibrant city it is today. It’s the most delicious way to experience the real Cancún beyond the beach.

What's Included

  • Movable food feast with 8-9 stops around Downtown Cancun
  • 15+ food tastings included, more than any other Cancun food tour
  • Max 8 exclusive guests, smallest group size in Cancun (private tour or 9+ guests, contact us)
  • Alcoholic drinks excluded
  • Pick up and drop off from hotel excluded
  • Some dietary restrictions unsuitable including vegetarian and vegan diets

Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed:✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, mild nut allergies, no pork diets and no seafood diets are possible, though some tastings do not have alternatives availableIf you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
