• Merida - Mérida truly comes alive at night. To experience the city’s vibrant Yucatecan flavors at their finest, this evening food tour offers the only nighttime culinary experience in town. This is not about fine dining; it’s about savoring authentic local food that you might not discover on your own.

The tour kicks off in the late afternoon with classic local delights, such as tangy shredded cochinita pibil nestled in fresh tortas and golden, cheese-filled empanadas. From there, it transforms into a roaming feast through Mérida’s streets, featuring tacos, handmade tortillas, panuchos, and salbutes, along with more traditional dishes like turkey relleno negro and the Yucatán classic, cheesy queso relleno.

During the tour, step into one of Mérida’s renowned cantinas for a refreshing beer and traditional botanas. With over 15 tastings across four hours, this is the city’s most generous food tour.

To truly experience Mérida, you must taste it at night.

This is a truly local culinary experience that reveals a side of Mérida that most tourists never get to experience.
