About This Tour
This small-group food tour is limited to just 8 guests, allowing for a more personal, immersive experience of Mérida’s food culture. Rather than simply tasting dishes, you’ll uncover the history behind Yucatán’s bold flavours, from age-old Mayan recipes to dishes shaped by Spanish influence. With around 15+ tastings across four hours, this is a generous, in-depth introduction to Mérida’s most authentic local food. While the city is full of restaurants, this moveable feast takes you beyond the obvious, offering the most direct and delicious way to understand what locals really eat and why.
