Great food tour! - The food stops were excellent (but make sure to come hungry because it’s a lot of food!)
Our guide Enrique was informative, entertaining and very accommodating. He provided us each with cold water bottles as well which was a nice touch.
Would definitely recommend!

Mouth watering veg food - Playa del Carmen street food tour typically focuses on finding authentic, affordable, and local flavors away from the tourist-heavy Fifth Avenue, often sampling dishes like Cochinita Pibil, tamales, and diverse taco styles from street carts. These tours provide a culinary, cultural walking experience, highlighting regional Yucatecan cuisine.

Fantastic tour! - We had an outstanding experience on the walking food tour with Marcel. There were about 10 of us on the tour. What an amazing selection of local food. We experienced several types of food for the first time, and it was very interesting visiting local food stops. Marcel was a great guide and took fantastic care of us. I’d recommend this tour to foodies who enjoy experiencing local fare.

Excellent Food Tour! - Toured with Alejandro, what a lovely guy! Having just met, was very comfortable to talk with and no questions I asked were silly. Very informative. And the food from all of the businesses and street carts we visited were the best. So great, that we returned to visit them multiple times on our own during the rest of our vacation in Playa del Carmen. Thank you for introducing us to them and wishing we were locals!

Fantastic time! - Enrique was an amazing host. Great stories and engaging from the start. Food was delicious and plentiful, I didn’t eat lunch and was very hungry to start and literally could not finish the last 2 stops … including ice cream desert! I highly recommend it was a great 3 hours!

Fun - Emmanuel was a fun and friendly tour guide. He is full of life and made the experience great. He took us to sample local favorites—the food items were common (tacos, quesadillas, enchilada) but what made the tour worth it was these are places I would’ve never went to without a guide because it’s a little bit farther from the main tourist area.
