The best tour and guide - Our guide Oly was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable, and made the tour a ton of fun. He was super accommodating being willing to skip stops (it was just myself and my husband), and being willing to stop to grab water as we were still adapting to the Mexico humidity. We would do this tour again!

10/10 Would recommend. - My partner and I had an amazing time with Ulises. He was so down to earth and knowledgeable and very friendly. Our group was small and made it feel intimate and we were all able to share stories of our culture as well as learning about Mexican food and culture.
The food we tried was all amazing and the tequila tasting at the end was the perfect ending. It was great getting to know all the little hole in the wall spots that tourists typically wouldn't know to patronize. The tour was well paced and didn't feel rushed.
10/10 would recommend.

Great Food , Great Guide Ulises - I had an amazing time! The group size was small and Ulises was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious and lots of great local flavors. It was also fun to try the tequilas with scorpions and works.

Recommended for Foodies who want to escape 5th Avenue - Had a fantastic tour last Saturday from the enthusiastic Uli. Uli took us to some real Mexican eateries, just outside the tourist area. He explained a lot about Mexican cuisine and the different dishes. Not only educational, but also a very tasty meal. Discovered nice places with people who prepare their specialties with a lot of love.
It was a very pleasant tour and Uli was also super sweet to our 8-year-old son, who was really involved.
Recommended for all foodies who want to escape the noisy tourism.

Great experience!! - What a great tour with Ulises! We have been to some local places, where you will never come without this tour. We have been in Mexico for 2 weeks, but never had taco’s as good as we had with the streetfood tour! I can recommend everybody this tour. It was a nice tour guide and a good way to know the real mexican food!

Fantastic Tour, great friendly guide, very tasty food. - Ulises is a great tour guide! Very friendly, made us feel at ease right away. Explained how everything we were going to eat was made and where it came from originally. The Birra was the highlight of my wife’s, but for me was the Cochinta Pibil, I recommend adding the pickled onion in hot sauce.
