Cancun food tour
CANCUN FOOD TOUR - Our night edition is when the real flavours come alive. Beyond the bright lights of the Hotel Zone, there's a whole world of markets, taco carts and family-run eateries. Locals know these are the best places to eat in the city.
Join us on our 4-hour Cancun food tour to bite into crusty tortas stuffed with lechรณn pork cooked low-and-slow, slurp on hominy-rich bowls of Guerrero-style pozole, drool over charcoal-grilled beef tacos, cleanse the palette with tart chilli-spiked nieves, try authentic Mexican flan and top everything off with local mezcal ice cream finished with a boozy drizzle. That's not all though, with 15+ tastings, this is Cancun's most generous evening feast.
Cancun may be a young city, but thanks to migration from every corner of Mexico it draws on centuries of culinary tradition. Trust us, you wonโt find dishes like these in the resorts.
Why this tour is awesome
This is an edible crash course in Cancun's food scene from the local markets through to the street vendors in Cancun's Downtown. Come hungry, because you're not going to be want to miss out on 15+ tastings over 4 hours of feasting.
While it's tempting to be a beach bum, there's more to Cancun than the swath of white sand. Join us to see the real Cancun. You won't regret it.
