5.00Dennis was a great tour guide. He communicated well with us before the tour to adjust the time to allow for traffic through the road construction zone. He did a great job of explaining the food dishes and the local culture. The tour was well paced to allow time to enjoy the food without being stuffed. We definitely recommend this tour to others if you love meat and Mexican food.

5.00YUM YUM YUM! This is a "delicious" tour. From Pozola Rojo to Taco al Pastor, each plate was unique, homemade, authentic, family secret recipes, and at a small neighborhood restaurants. (I won't tell you the locations. You must take the tour.) The food portions are large. You will be stuffed when it is finished. Our guide, Dennis, explained each dish. How it's made, the unique spices and herbs used, and unique cooking mathods. As we talked with the owners and servers, we saw the pride they take in creating the food and running their business. We ejoyed every moment and hope you will, too!
Great booking experience, best food in cabo

5.00The booking staff member was very kind and clear. They contacted me on WhatsApp and were so accommodating about our pickup location and time, even when I got confused multiple times about the timezone as the plane gave me the wrong one. Our guide Dennis was great as well, taking us to restaurants we would not have found on our own. I liked this food the best of our whole trip, especially the birria and the lengua and tripa tacos. We were STUFFED though fortunately we were able to take some extras to go. We also did a small tequila and mezcal tasting! 100/10 would recommend
Amazing Food Tour!

5.00This was an amazing food tour. We learned about the history of San Jose Del Cabo and went to many local favorite hot spots. We tried a variety of traditional meats, soups, tacos and mexican candy. It was delightful experience with air conditioned van and all the water you wanted which was great on a hot day. I would highly recommend this tour. They also took into account my celiac and made sure that I had options that were gluten free.
