Great food tour! - The food was delicious and our guide (Erin) was so knowledgeable about the local culture and the food. The food portions were not overwhelming (as we have had on other food tours that we have done) and the selection was quite varied. We definitely got to eat in some amazing family owned restaurants that wouldn't have otherwise popped up on our radar.

Real Mexican cuisine that the locals eat - Met by Jerry our guide, there were only 2 of us on the day and we had a fabulous tour of eateries off the beaten track. Felt safe and secure at all times, food was delicious at all the stops and authentic with as much or as little spice as you wanted. Jerry was very knowledgeable on history and the cuisine, the market stop off was a delight too. Really enjoyed our time.

Locals experience - We were a group 10 and good transportation was provided. We visited 3 traditional restaurants, the central market and a bakery. The businesses were certainly out of the tourist district and where the locals would frequent. Everywhere we went we felt welcomed, we tried a variety of local dishes, learned about some culture, history, popular cooking practices and dishes. The visit to the central market was great, nice to see where the local restaurants are going to pickup a majority of their ingredients. Our guide was knowledgeable and a great communicator. It was worth the price.

Exceptional Food Tour - Educational tour that also tastes great! We hit 4 different family owned restaurants off the beaten path each chosen for a specific dish and the local market where everything is purchased! They were all delicious!

Mixed Impressions: Tasty Cuisine, Small Portions, and a Cultural Contrast in Mexican Dining Experience - The cuisine was tasty, but the portions were quite small considering the price. Additionally, it felt odd to share food with strangers, like when they placed a small plate of ceviche for four of us to split. The tour guide was great and probably the best part. The whole thing just felt like they were being very stingy which is not Mexican culture which made sense towards the end which she revealed that the business was ran by an American.
