Description

Good to Know

Real foodies know that you have to leave Manhattan to find some of the best bites in New York. The Corona neighborhood of Queens is famous for its Latin American cuisine, and this tour lets you try specialties from street vendors and family-run establishments. Sample a wide range of dishes that can include Argentinean pastries, Mexican pit-roasted goat, and more. This is a less mainstream way to experience the city's food scene.

Corona

We’ll start our day in pedestrian-only Corona Plaza, the neighborhood’s bustling meeting place, and drop by a family-run Mexican bakery where we’ll join the weekend ritual of picking out sweet breakfast pastries and rolls from large trays set out for the customers. From there, we’ll continue to an out-of-the-way spot where we’ll sit down with neighborhood families to enjoy a hearty Mexican-style brunch of pit-roasted goat.

Jackson Heights

The food tour in Queens continues along Roosevelt Avenue, which on the weekends is lined with street vendors from throughout Latin America. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we’ll drop into an Argentinean corner bakery for some traditional treats and make a stop for a “cholado,” a hybrid frozen dessert and fruit salad also known as the Colombian Snow Cone. We’ll end our day at a small bodega opened by a man from Veracruz, Mexico, going inside for a celebratory (shrimp) cocktail. This last stop leaves us at the edge of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, two immigrant neighborhoods that hold their own culinary riches (and which are further explored as part of our longer Queens walk), a tantalizing reminder that during this half-day we’ve only scratched the surface of what makes Queens such a culinary Promised Land.

A delicious and unique way to experience NYC

Sierra was an incredible guide, so knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging! We learned so much about New York while tasting so many delicious and interesting flavors along the way. It was such a fun way to explore a part of the city we hadn’t experienced before and to learn about the people, cultures, and communities that make the neighborhood so special through its food. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a different and more meaningful way to experience New York. It was absolute...read more

Wonderful afternoon in Corona.

This tour was excellent. Our guide Sierra was an impressive wealth of knowledge. They knew most everyone in the neighborhood, knew the history and culture behind the cuisines, and really made the day.

Do it!!! You’ll be sooo full and happy!

Esneider was phenomenal during the Corona food tour! He knows all the best places—little holes in the wall and food trucks. Also, he is well versed in the history of the different cultures which made it feel like more than a food tour and actually a cultural excursion. 10/10 recommend 😊

Response from ViatorApril 19, 2025

Thank you so much for the glowing review — we love your energy! We’re so happy to hear that your time with Esneider on our Corona walk left you full, happy, and inspired. His deep knowledge of the neighborhood’s food trucks and hidden gems, along with the rich cultural history he shares, really makes it more than just a food tour — and we’re so glad you felt that too. That is exactly what we are going for! Esneider will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Don’t forget to check out your Culinary Backstreets Passport on our website to see your Queens stamp — and we hope to see you again in another delicious corner of the world soon!
