Description

Good to Know

This is not a TV show food list. This is authentic Oaxacan night time food at the places locals actually eat. This experience focuses on real street food culture, local traditions and neighborhoods, and the people who keep these flavors alive every night. This gastronomic experience takes you beyond the city center in our comfortable van to discover the places locals actually visit for dinner and late-night cravings. More than simply tasting food, this experience is designed to connect you with the history, preparation, and cultural significance behind Oaxaca’s most iconic street dishes. Along the way, your local foodie guide explains the origins of the dishes, the ingredients used, regional influences, and the role these foods play in everyday Oaxacan life while experiencing the energy and atmosphere of authentic neighborhood food spots beyond the tourist crowds.

A Good Tour with Great Food and a history lesson!

Ivan was absolutely incredible! Super knowledgeable explaining the history of the food and how it is tied to the history of Oaxaca. The transportation was handled smoothly and seamlessly with some absolute hidden gems for food along the way. 10/10 recommended

El mejor guía y tour!

Una excelente forma de conocer la comida de Oaxaca más allá de los lugares turísticos. Probamos varias cosas que probablemente nunca hubiéramos encontrado por nuestra cuenta. Iván conoce muy bien la ciudad y nos fue explicando sobre cada platillo y lugar que visitamos. Vayan con hambre porque hay muchísimo que probar.
