Overview

This tour isn’t for fine-dining fans, and that’s exactly the point. Instead of polished restaurants, you’ll eat where Yucatecan flavour truly lives, in street vendors, hole-in-the-wall spots, markets, and family-run eateries that rarely make it into guidebooks.

Over four hours in Mérida, you’ll enjoy 15+ tastings, sip cold beer alongside locals, and uncover why the city is home to some of Mexico’s boldest regional flavours, many rooted in ancient Mayan traditions. It’s a deeply local culinary food experience that shows you a side of Mérida most visitors never taste.

Merida

Our Merida food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the old city. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Merida tastemakers.Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed:✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian diets, as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten intolerance and mild nut allergies are possible, though not all tastings have alternatives. ✔ Suitable for no seafood dietsIf you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Merida

Nighttime is when Mérida truly comes alive. If you want to experience the city’s bold Yucatecan flavours at their best, this evening food tour offers the only evening culinary experience in town. This isn’t about fine dining, it’s about authentic local food you’d be unlikely to find on your own.The tour begins in the late afternoon with classic local favourites, including tangy shredded cochinita pibil tucked into fresh tortas and golden, cheese-stuffed empanadas. From there, it becomes a roaming feast through Mérida’s streets, sampling tacos, handmade tortillas, panuchos, and salbutes, alongside deeper, more traditional dishes like turkey relleno negro and the Yucatán classic, cheesy queso relleno.Along the way, step inside one of Mérida’s legendary cantinas for a cold beer and traditional botanas. With 15+ tastings across four hours, this is the city’s most generous food tour.You haven’t truly experienced Mérida until you’ve tasted it at night.
