Our Oaxaca food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the city's medina. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Oaxaca tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian and no pork diets as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, mild nut allergies and no seafood diets are possible, though some tastings do not have alternatives available If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

This evening food tour explores Oaxaca after dark, when the city’s street food scene is at its liveliest. As grills fire up and market stalls fill the air with smoke and aroma, you’ll dive into the heart of local food culture. With 14+ tastings included, this experience offers a crash course to Oaxaca’s flavours. The tour begins with classic street foods such as cheesy campechano tacos, tangy piedrazo served with quesillo, and earthy tetelas filled with huitlacoche. As the walk continues, you’ll sample bolder dishes including crisp garnachas, rich tamales de mole, tender tacos de cabeza, and slow-cooked lechón served in both tacos and tortas. Later tastings include Oaxaca’s iconic tlayuda topped with tasajo, smoky grilled tortillas with meat. The experience also features warming champurrado, a guided mezcal tasting, and finishes with classic Mexican flan. This guided evening walk offers an authentic way to experience Oaxaca’s food scene though the eyes of a local.

The tour concludes after 3.5-4 hours in Mercado Benito Juárez . You'll leave not only full, but with a much deeper understanding of Oaxacan food culture and the confidence to continue eating your way through Mexico.
