Experience Details

Discover the Oaxaca that most visitors never get to experience on a hidden street food tour led by local chefs.

This isn't your typical food tour. We don't follow the same routes or stop at the same places as everyone else. No tourist traps, no crowded restaurants just the authentic neighborhood spots where Oaxacans actually eat

Visit family-run eateries, humble street stands, and hidden gems while tasting some of Oaxaca's most iconic dishes. Along the way, your local chef will share the history, ingredients, and traditions behind every bite, giving you a deeper appreciation for one of the world's greatest culinary destinations.

More than just a food tour, this is a chance to connect with the people behind the food, discover neighborhoods beyond the tourist center, and experience Oaxaca through the eyes of a local.

Enjoy a relaxed small-group experience that feels more like exploring with foodie friends than following a scripted tour.

Come hungry and discover the real Oaxaca!
