November Sun Farmer Market and Margarita!! - We had a mother daughter trip to New Mexico and booked this trip! We were greeted by Lauren and had introduction within the group to get to know you! We loved the stroll thru the Market and to La Choza. Dan our waiter was amazing and all the staff very attentive and professional. The food was amazing and learned some fun facts. One is honey is amazing on enchiladas. Our La Lecheria New Mexico Craft Ice cream. We had a sample of Geeen Chili and Chocolate Sea Salt and it was so yummy! You would think green chilies would be odd but it was deep flavor and would definitely order it again. We found some great fines in the market from chili powder to art work we took home. Lauren was down to earth, funny and knowledgeable! We would suddenly recommend it to all. Thanks Lauren for a fun day out in the Sun!

What a treat! - What a treat doing this tour with a former chef and local who truly guided us through New Mexican cuisine! Lauren was great to work with from start to finish; she showed us the difference between Mexican food and New Mexican food, and the history behind some of NM’s staple items. We even had chili ice cream at the end at an ice cream parlor that had a lot of unique ice cream flavors. Lauren is very knowledgeable and passionate about NM cuisine and culture. The food was super tasty and the margaritas were probably some of the best I’ve had because they weren’t bogged down with a bunch of simple syrup and artificial sour mix. I definitely recommend this food tour. Traveler’s Tip: call Lauren before your trip if you plan to arrive in Santa Fe before the food tour. My friend and I arrived the day before the food tour, and Lauren gave us great restaurant, museum & art gallery recommendations for Day 1. Let me tell you — she did not steer us wrong!

Best food tour ever! - I highly recommend Lauren and the Farmers Market tour in the Railroad district of Santa Fe. My friends and I go on food tours in every city we visit, both in the US and abroad. This was by far the most fun and informative tour I have experienced. Lauren is knowledgeable about Santa Fe, its history and is a ton of fun!! The food was wonderful and we learned new tips for handling the spice levels. Great experience all round!

Delicious fun!! - We took this tour while on a three generation girls' trip to Santa Fe and it was a highlight. We thoroughly enjoyed the bites and Lauren was a lot of fun! My girls loved trying honey on their enchiladas and learning about Pazole was very interesting, as we make it in TX. Great fun- you definitely don't leave hungry!
