The Real Meal! - Ramiro was a great guide and took us into the neighborhoods where we could sample the local cuisines representing various regions of Mexico. It was both very informative and really delicious! We were the only Gringos in the places we visited so we knew we were getting the real foodie experience! Thanks Ramiro!

Taco Tour 🌮 - I definitely recommend this tour. I went with my husband and our 10 year old daughter. Our tour guide was so nice (I believe his name was Oswaldo?), he truly took great care of us and ensured a wonderful experience. You need to show up starving, because you’ll leave absolutely STUFFED. By the last two stops, I could only try a few bites of the tacos because I was so full. It was great to see some of the local culture, and every taco we tried was nothing short of incredible. We started with 2 different fish tacos at the first stop (WOW! These were so fresh and delicious), sopas on the best blue corn tortillas at stop # 2 (you have the choice of beef or pork and I highly recommend the pork over the beef!) stop # 3 was a choice of carne asada or chorizo tacos (we all picked one of each) and at the last stop we tried authentic birria with a delectable consume, and were even allowed to make our own tortillas!! (Great experience for our daughter). We were even offered churros at the finish of stop 3 but we just couldn’t fit any more food in our stomachs, knowing we still had more tacos to try. Each restaurant included amazing homemade salsas, soft drinks, bottled water, horchata, really any drink you wanted (besides alcohol - this would cost extra).
I do, however, want to point out that the first stop on the tour, the “tequila tasting” is actually just a stop at a gift shop where they pressure you to buy jewelry and other souvenirs. You do get to taste as many tequilas and mezcals as you would like, but you’ll be pressured to make a purchase after. I didn’t see any other reviews mention this, so I wanted to forewarn anyone thinking about booking.
Despite the unexpected start to the tour, we were overall very very VERY happy that we booked this one. 10/10 experience. If you love tacos, you won’t want to miss this!

Excellent experience!! 20/10 recommend!! - Excellent service, amazing food with a history of it, punctual, very personable. 20/10 recommend. The food is what you want when you come to Mexico. I would highly recommend this tour. Ramiro Santos is wonderful. Go hungry!! The tequilas are not your average either, learned a lot and tried many new things.

Most do this tour! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an AMAZING time on our food tour in Cancun with Ramiro S.! From start to finish, he made the experience fun, authentic, and full of flavor. Each stop offered something delicious and unique — from local tacos and traditional dishes to hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own.
Ramiro was incredibly knowledgeable about the food, culture, and history of Cancun, and his passion really showed throughout the tour. He made everyone feel comfortable and included, and by the end, it felt like we were exploring the city with a friend.
Come hungry, because by the end you’ll be in a food coma — but it’s so worth it! 🌮🇲🇽
If you’re visiting Cancun and want to experience real local food (not just the tourist spots), this tour is an absolute must. Thank you, Ramiro, for such a memorable and tasty experience!

Transported to a few taco places - We were taken in a van with a driver who did not speak at all…..no English, no tour/ no history facts.Just got out at each spot and was served tacos. We didn’t know what to do or if we had a choice in ordering because our driver did not speak or instruct us. Tacos were good but we could have just ubered to a few places just as easily.

Almost amazing. - The guide and the food and restaurants were great. Polite, professional and friendly. However, the tequila tasting was horrible. Soon as you exit van they take you to jewelry shop and pressure you to buy. The tequila tasting they tried to swindle me.
My daughter like strawberry flavor and I coffee. Wanted 1 each small bottle. Gave me different bottle than the one tasted. I questioned the guy he days sant thing they just don't make the small bottle with the same label. The one she tasted had nice label trimmed in silver, raised and pretty blue. They packaged white and black label. We continued to walk through the store and guess what I found? Small strawberry flavored in the amalgamation bottle with blue and silver label.
They say it's discounted for us and they tried to swindle us. Also had a gift shop, we've been in Cancun three days, we don't need anymore souvenirs.
The guy from shop spoke to our guide and next thing you know guide is asking us if we wanted to go back to goofy shop.
If they got rid of that harassing and scamming tour it would be a great tour.
