About this activity

Discover Mazatlán through its flavors, stories, and the eyes of a local chef.

Led by Paola, a chef born and raised in Mazatlán, this tour began with a question: If my best friend came to town, what would I want them to taste, see, and discover? that idea is at the heart of every stop.

Taste fresh Pacific seafood, shrimp ceviche, flavorful tacos, Sinaloan specialties, tamales, local beer and handmade ice cream. Through a local chef's perspective, discover the ingredients, cooking techniques, and traditions behind our cuisine. Taste and learn not only what we eat, but why we eat it.

Hop aboard an iconic auriga, Mazatlán's open-air taxi, to explore historic landmarks, local neighborhoods, and eateries you might never find on your own. Discover how the sea, shrimp fishing, and life as a Pacific port shaped our food and culture.

In a small group, share stories, ask questions, and make genuine connections. More than a food tour, it's like tasting Mazatlán with a local friend.
