  • Merida
    Our Merida food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the old city. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Merida 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 and pescatarian diets, as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten intolerance and mild nut allergies are possible, though not all tastings have alternatives. ✔ Suitable for no seafood diets If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
  • Merida
    Step into the culinary heart of the Yucatán. In Mérida, food is inseparable from history, shaped by ancient Maya traditions and later influenced by Spanish, Lebanese, and Caribbean cultures. The result is a cuisine unlike anywhere else in Mexico. This four-hour food tour with 15+ tastings is an edible crash course in Yucatecan flavours, designed to help you truly understand the region’s cooking. With more tastings than any other food tour in the city, there’s far too much to list, but highlights include crispy panuchos filled with smoky relleno negro, papadzules bathed in pumpkin seed sauce, crusty tortas stuffed with slow-roasted lechón, and refreshing tamarind nieves finished with chilli-spiked chamoy. This experience isn’t about fine dining. You’ll eat where locals eat: bustling markets, street carts, hole-in-the-wall joints, and family-run eateries that have been feeding Mérida for generations. Come hungry and leave with a deeper understanding of Yucatán's cuisine.
  • Merida
    The tour concludes after 3.5-4 hours at the Plaza Grande, Merida's central square. You'll leave not only full, but with a much deeper understanding of Merida food culture and the confidence to continue eating your way through the Yucatán and beyond.
