  The Culinary Backstreets food tour with Erika was a highlight of my time in Guadalajara. The food was excellent, but what set the experience apart was the insight into local culture, history, and traditions. Erika was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about both the city and its cuisine. I especially loved visiting the small, family-run eateries with multiple generations involved in the business. They made the experience feel authentic and deeply rooted in the community. This was my second tour with Culinary Backstreets, and it certainly won’t be my last. I recommend their tours to anyone who wants to understand a place through its food.

• Fantastic Experience!

  I recently joined a Culinary Backstreets tour in Guadalajara led by Eliza, and it was easily one of the most enriching cultural experiences I’ve had in the city. This is not your typical “walk, taste, and go” food tour. Eliza brings extraordinary depth to every stop — blending history, migration, regional identity, local characters, and culinary traditions into a story that’s both fascinating and heartfelt. She has a true gift for making the city reveal itself in layers. Her group management is seamless, her storytelling is masterful, and she creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone stays engaged. I walked a lot (my feet can confirm 😆), but every step was worth it. I came away with a deeper understanding of the cuisine and the cultural roots of Nuevo Galicia, as well as a fresh appreciation for modern Guadalajara’s vibrant food scene. If you’re looking for a tour that goes far beyond the surface and truly connects you with the heart of the city, this is the one. Highly recommended.

  We had a marvelous food and culture excursion in Guadalajara with Eliza of Culinary Backstreets. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the city enriched our visit with historical and cultural context. We were with our adult daughter and her husband, who booked this tour. We will seek Culinary Backstreets in other cities after this excellent experience.

  My wife, daughter, son-in-law and I, all discerning foodies, reuned in Guadalajara on Thanksgiving. Our kids suggested a Culinary Backstreets tour, bless their hearts! Eliza was our wonderful guide. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable, articulate, considerate, patient, kind and fun, she curated and choreographed our movements throughout the city masterfully, providing us with information and insights we would never find in guidebooks. For nearly six hours, we strolled and chatted our way through charming neighborhoods, sampling and savoring various restaurants’ specialties from different regions and traditional styles. Feeling filled and fulfilled, I didn’t want our day to end, and you won’t, either.
