Overview
Most travellers never get beyond Oaxaca’s restaurant scene, but this tour dives straight into the city’s true culinary heart. Instead of polished dining rooms, you’ll taste the iconic dishes locals actually eat at midday, from memelas and mole-filled tamales to empanadas, tostadas, and ancient maize-and-cacao drinks that have defined the region for centuries. With 15+ tastings across 8+ stops, you’ll explore markets, street vendors, and neighbourhood eateries beloved by locals and largely unknown to visitors. It’s a deep, generous look at why Oaxaca is considered one of the world’s great culinary capitals, and one of the best ways to experience the city food culture.
