A standout tour of authentic foods in Zihua

5.00This food tour was such a standout experience. Every stop felt incredibly authentic, with dishes that were not only delicious but clearly rooted in generations-old recipes and traditions. You could really taste the history in the food. One of the highlights was actually meeting the proprietors at several of the stops and hearing their personal stories as well as food preparation methods firsthand. It added a personal layer to the experience that you just don’t get otherwise. Since the tour, I mentioned relleno de puerco to a MX native friend and he was impressed that we tried it and learned a lot about the transitional preparation. We brought our kids (ages 9 and 12), and they absolutely loved it. Francisco was attentive to our child’s allergies and made sure she had a safe and outstanding experience, which we really appreciated. What we loved most was that many of the places we visited are spots we likely never would have found—or even thought to try—as tourists. Now we have a whole list of places we can’t wait to go back to for amazing meals. Francisco is fun to hang out with and he did a great job sharing the stories behind the food and the families, which made the experience feel much more meaningful than just a tasting tour. It was relaxed, flavorful, and full of great discoveries. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience the real local food scene.
Knowledgeable guide excellent food.

Improper charges and unfit car

1.00Improper charges. I was dealt a very small and imperceptible blow that neither I caused, nor was caused in during my office. First they gave me a car with many km and blows that was not suitable for driving because the headlights did not work, and then they changed it for another one that only worked one. Also unfit to circulate at night.
