Panuchos! - Great food tour! Dreyken, our guide was amazing and the stops and food were exactly what we were looking for. Foods that we may not otherwise try as tourist. The panuchos were the best bite during our stay. Definitely do this tour if you want to explore Cancun, try Mexican food other than tacos! We will be looking out for you, Dreyken!

Carmen Food Tour with Enrique - Enrique was engaging and had great historical and local knowledge. He kept our family (teens and preteen) entertained the whole time and took us to several local spots that we would not have found on our own. The food was great and the tour was better!

Taco flavour sensation - This was a really great experience. Dreyken was knowledgeable about the food, the city and the history of Cancun. He was personable and kind. The tacos were delicious. Very tasty tacos. Try the fresh fish Gordita taco. I also had a mobility scooter and Dreyken was so patient as I scooted around in my knee scooter slowly from taco shop to taco shop. I would recommend 💯

A must do in Cancun! - The Guided Cancun Local Mexican Food Tour was an absolute delight! We’ve been to Mexico 5 times and this was the most authentic experience we’ve had. Enrique, our guide, was not only knowledgeable about the local cuisine but also passionate about sharing its flavors and history. From gorditas to traditional dishes, every stop was a culinary adventure. We even got to try a delicacy called Huitlacoche! Enrique's insights and recommendations truly made the experience unforgettable. If you're looking to explore Cancun's authentic food scene, this tour with Enrique is a must-do!

Wonderful! - Enrique gave us a wonderful tour of the local delicacies. He also took our special requests into account. We had lots of delicious dishes that were served where the locals eat.
A great experience! And even those who are very hungry will go home full.

Exceeded our expectations! Good value. - Our tour guide, Dreyken, was wonderful! He was knowledgeable about the food and local history, and he was fun, interactive, and so personable. The food was amazing. He took us to little "off the beaten" path places that we never would have found on our own, and he made sure that we were taken care of in each place. Delightful tour! We will go on that tour everytime we are in Cancun.

Good food tour - Was a good tour except for the 2nd stop. Found the pork dry with only spicy sauce offered. Guacamole would have been A good alternative. Dreyken was a great guide. Except that he said he would send us pictures. It has been a week and we haven’t seen anything. That’s disappointing.
