Great local food experience 🇲🇽 - I really enjoyed the food tour with Marcos as my tour guide. I’m very happy that I experienced more of the Mexican food culture as I got to taste local food and drinks in local places. I would definitely recommend the tour. And show up hungry 😊

Delicious and fun! - Food was delicious and Marcos was such a lovely tour guide. He explained all of the dishes in great detail, he told us lots of funny anecdotes and he was very personable and made sure to take good care of us over the whole tour (e.g. giving us napkins/wet wipes at each stop and making sure the tables were clean). Highly recommend this for people who want to experience true local Mexican food

Recommended food tour! - Love a good street food tour to learn and familiarize about the local cuisine! The sopa de lima was my favorite for sure and really liked how Laura was very knowledgeable while providing the history of the dishes etc. We were definitely stuffed by the end of the tour.

A Must-Do Food Tour in Mérida with the best guide, Laura! - If you're in Mérida and even thinking about doing a food tour—stop what you're doing and book this one! Our guide, Laura, was absolutely AMAZING!!! From the very beginning, she made us feel welcome and excited for the adventure ahead. She wasn’t just knowledgeable about the food—we also learned about Mérida’s history, culture, and weekly events throughout the city.
The food? Out of this world. We tried salbutes, mole, paunchas, tortas, quesadillas, aguas frescas, and finished with paletas for dessert. Every bite was packed with flavor and tradition. We were stuffed by the end - in the best way possible. We even had to take some to-go for later.
This was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. 1000% recommend. Laura made the experience unforgettable—she’s passionate, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Don’t miss this tour!

Great value and a fun time - Excellent food tour! The cochinita, the sopa de limon, the panuchos and the salbutes were much tastier than at some fancy touristy central restaurants. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and approachable.

Wonderful walking tour of... - Wonderful walking tour of Merida. Got us into market where we probably would not have gone (we are not Spanish speakers) to enjoy some delicious food and fruit drinks. Also learned some about culture and history of city. We would definitely recommend.

Incredible experience - The food was incredible and covered a wide range of types and dietary restrictions. We were really impressed by our tour guide Manuel’s breadth of knowledge and with how passionate he was about the food and the people who worked at each location. Would recommend to anyone coming to Mérida.

Awesome food tour - Manuel was an excellent guide who gave us an insider’s view of food and culture in Mérida. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We visited local market food shops that I would never try on my own. I highly recommend!
