Our walking tour with Alex was an outstanding experience and one I have already recommended to friends and family. The expertise and professionalism displayed by Alex was amazing and he mixed in humor with his local knowledge well. The food selection was beyond excellent with 7 local dishes that were each different and very tasty with an additional 1 local dessert (which you had 2 option to choose from). Alex explained the dishes well and whether they looked like something I would normally enjoy, they were all amazing choices that tasted great pushing me to try new and exciting dishes. I would challenge anyone that takes this tour to try each dish, even the Relleno Negro!

Ten stars! We had an amazing time and the food was simply delicious. Our guide Leo was great, he took us to places where as a tourist you would rarley wander to but boy would you miss out. The food was excellent at all the stops and by the end of our tour we were really full. Leo also knew a lot of stuff about the food, Merida or Mexico in general and we had a lot of fun

If you like pork, then this tour is for you! The Yucatán Peninsula specializes in all things pork and you get a chance to taste lots of it plus other treats on this tour with a local. First, we stopped for an agua fresca (flavored water) from an ice cream shop. Then we got a gordita filled with pork from a local fast food joint (my favorite!). After that, we visited two markets in Mérida: Mercado Lucas de Galvez and Mercado de San Benito. We pulled up chairs at a few local stands. Our guide ensured us the stalls are selected for their high-quality food and good safety practices. We tasted salbute de relleno negro (turkey with black sauce in a salbute-style tortilla). We also learned about and ate tacos al pastor, which are made with schwarma-style pork. Our guide also pointed out produce favored in Yucatán cooking and helped translate with vendors. We ended with paletas (handmade popsicles). A fun street food tour overall!
