Local taste of Merida
Great time. Adrian was very knowledgable and helpful. Tour took about 3 and a half hours and was well worth the price. Lots of places and foods we would have never known to look for.

Description
Good to Know
This tour isn’t for fine-dining fans, and that’s exactly the point. Instead of polished restaurants, you’ll eat where Yucatecan flavour truly lives, in street vendors, hole-in-the-wall spots, markets, and family-run eateries that rarely make it into guidebooks.
Over four hours in Mérida, you’ll enjoy 15+ tastings, sip cold beer alongside locals, and uncover why the city is home to some of Mexico’s boldest regional flavours, many rooted in ancient Mayan traditions. It’s a deeply local culinary food experience that shows you a side of Mérida most visitors never taste.
Led by professional tastemaker guides
Movable food feast with 8-9 stops around the old city

Merida
Our Merida food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the old city. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Merida tastemakers.
Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed:
✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian diets, as the number of tastings would be very limited.
✔ Gluten intolerance and mild nut allergies are possible, though not all tastings have alternatives.
✔ Suitable for no seafood diets

Merida
Nighttime is when Mérida truly comes alive. If you want to experience the city’s bold Yucatecan flavours at their best, this evening food tour offers the only evening culinary experience in town. This isn’t about fine dining, it’s about authentic local food you’d be unlikely to find on your own.
The tour begins in the late afternoon with classic local favourites, including tangy shredded cochinita pibil tucked into fresh tortas and golden, cheese-stuffed empanadas. From there, it becomes a roaming feast through Mérida’s streets, sampling tacos, handmade tortillas, panuchos, and salbutes, alongside deeper, more traditional dishes like turkey relleno negro and the Yucatán classic, cheesy queso relleno.
Along the way, step inside one of Mérida’s legendary cantinas for a cold beer and traditional botanas. With 15+ tastings across four hours, this is the city’s most generous food tour.
You haven’t truly experienced Mérida until you’ve tasted it at night.

Chef's Tour Is A Great Experience
This was our second Chef's Tour, our first in Merida, and it was just as good as the first. We received reminders and good communication leading up to the event, so the meeting spot was easy to find. Our guide Adrian was fantastic - knowledgeable, warm, and proud of the food he was sharing with us. Also incredibly thoughtful, we were not prepared for the downpour and he got us ponchos. The amount of food was almost overwhelming, in the best way. Every stop introduced us to something new, unique...read more

Great food tour
It was really super fun to eat food from the locals at all kinds of stalls, where I normally wouldn't dare to get food directly. The guide was also very friendly and could tell a lot about the city and the food

Together with our guide Nestor we visited serveral local places where we ate amazing food and tried some drinks. Nestor is a great guide. Besides the many things he could tell us about he food culture, he also tought us about the history of the city itself. We had a great time!

Very nice tour, worth money!
Very nice food tour. It's pricey but it's more than worth the money. The guide Adrian is enthusiastic and takes you to places you wouldn't otherwise find yourself. We tried to go back to a place the next day to buy food again but even this didn't work. It’s a really fun (and tasty) tour 👌🏻😃. You will get 15 food/drinks and will leave the tour on a full stomach 😎.
