After years of research we’ve carefully selected the best street food stands in Quito in the most unexpected and hole in the wall locations. This tour prizes taste over aesthetic or price and is sure to make you craving the recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. You’ll try exotic fruits and juices, seafood delicacies and the best local bites, made with fresh ingredients. We will finish the journey with a top chocolate, coffee and cocktail tasting. In addition to getting a real taste of Quito, you will explore the city’s back streets, downtown’s flea market and cool off beaten path architecture, street art and more. We will wander through the parts of Quito that are home to the locals that dwell here and we will eat the food that natives have been enjoying for decades.

Best street food tour - don’t miss it

We have done many street food tours in Europe and’s Asia and this would be the best street tour we have done. The food is tasty and not overwhelmingly, the juices are refreshing and the pacing is excellent. Our guide Pamela had fabulous local knowledge as well as a well educated background in Latin American politics. She is a foodie and really knows her stuff, highly informative and very filling. Don’t miss it!

A great local experience

I had a wonderful day with Ernesto- he was very knowledgeable about the city and the country. We went to a couple of food markets where we tried some typical Ecuadorian dishes - a good variety of meat, fish, vegetables and fruit- and of course locally grown coffee and chocolate. We also went to the art precinct and saw some fabulous street art. If you are into learning about local food and art this is the tour for you.

Santiago was very knowledgeable and eating at local hotspots was a treat and developed a new sense for high quality of Ecuadorian food.

What an amazing (and delicious!) experience!

What an amazing tour this was! From the very start, Santiago was engaging, informative, and enthusiastic, telling us all about not only the food but also Ecuador and Quito's history, culture, etc. The food itself was absolutely delicious (how did I not know that Ecuadorian food is incredible?!), and the streets and neighborhoods and markets we traversed were interesting and fun, but it was Santiago's excellent guidework that made our experience so terrific.
