MERIDA FOOD TOUR – Night time is the right time in Mérida. If you want to truly experience the city’s unique Yucatecan flavours, join us on the only evening food experience in town. This isn’t about fine dining, it’s authentic local flavours you’d struggle to find on your own.
Kick things off in the late afternoon with tangy shredded cochinita pibil tucked into fresh tortas and golden, cheese-stuffed empanadas. From there, it’s a moveable feast of tacos, tortillas, panuchos and salbutes. Think roasted broccoli and jÃcama tacos, turkey relleno negro, and the Yucatán classic, stuffed cheese queso relleno.
Along the way, we’ll duck into one of Mérida’s legendary cantinas for cold beer and botanas. And that’s just the start. With 15+ tastings across four hours of feasting, this is Mérida’s most generous evening food tour. You haven’t experienced Mérida until you’ve tasted it at night.
Those who want fine dining won't find the tour right for them. But then you'd miss out on Yucatan's fantastic flavours found at the street vendors, hole-in-the-wall spots, markets and family-run eateries, places that just don't get listed in the guidebooks.
Over four hours you’ll eat your way through 15+ tastings, sip cold beer with locals, and discover why Merida has some of the boldest flavours in Mexico, some of which stretch back to the ancient Mayans.
