Amazing insight into Guadalajara's food culture.

We just had the best time with Eliza. We loved every second of this tour. She had a wealth of knowledge about all things Guadalajara as a long time resident of the city. From amazing local coffee to local bites at a fonda, local chocolates, Jalisco grown fruits to Tortas Ahogadas & birría we covered so so much. We have taken a few Culinary Backstreets tours before (Oaxaca, Mexico & Porto, Portugal) and have very much loved the experiences and this was no different.

A great foodie and history tour.

Eliza was a fun and personable guide! Lots of information and guided us through many yummy bites at places I wouldn’t have otherwise found. A nice slice of local history as well! A must do imo.

The Flavors of Guadalajara with an Amazing Guide

Our Culinary Backstreets tour in Guadalajara was one of the highlights of our trip. It was so much more than a food tour — it was a wonderful introduction to the people, neighborhoods, history, traditions and flavors that make Guadalajara such a fascinating city. What I love about Culinary Backstreets is that they take you beyond the obvious places and introduce you to the small restaurants, markets, cooks and family businesses that really tell the story of a city. Every stop seemed to have a s...read more

Amazing Experience!

We had such a wonderful experience! Every stop we went to was the perfect way to experience the city. Eliza was incredible. She had real relationships with all of the proprietors and it made us feel like we were being welcomed into the community.

A wonderful day with Luis!

Luis was a perfect guide, knowledgable and very well informed on both the culinary traditions in GDL and the city itself. He was very personable and easily adapted to some of my specific preferences and interests within the context of the overall tour. It was a great day and experience overall and I would highly recommend this tour with Luis. Thank you Luis
