What to expect

Discover the flavors Mexican families actually enjoy, far from Playa del Carmen's tourist strip. Forget long walks under the Caribbean sun; this 3-hour food tour moves between stops in an air-conditioned vehicle, so you can relax and focus on the food. Your guide accompanies you throughout, in English, Spanish or Italian, to carefully selected local restaurants, each with its own specialty; slow-cooked carnitas, fresh fish or shrimp tacos full of Caribbean flavor, and tasty vegetarian alternatives. Dishes arrive with warm tortillas, and your guide shows you how to build your own tacos the way locals do, while sharing the stories behind each recipe. Every restaurant includes a drink of your choice: fresh fruit water, a soft drink or an ice-cold local beer for adults. The journey ends on a sweet note at a traditional Mexican café, where you choose your favorite dessert paired with premium coffee from Oaxaca or a fine tea. All food and drinks are included, so there is nothing extra to pay along the way. Perfect for food lovers, couples and families with children aged 8 and up.
