About this activity

Trade the beach for an unforgettable evening of tacos in the neighborhoods where locals love to eat. Follow your food guide beyond the main tourist areas to carefully selected taquerias and street-food stands.

Enjoy five generous tastings centered around Mexico’s most iconic food. Discover what makes each taco distinctive—from its ingredients and preparation methods to its regional roots and traditional accompaniments. Come hungry, as the tastings provide enough food for a complete meal.

Between stops, experience local life in Playa del Carmen and hear the stories behind Mexico’s taco culture, family food traditions and everyday dining customs. This is more than just a food tour, it’s a deep dive into the authentic, non-touristy side of Playa del Carmen.
