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.

Oaxaca

Our Oaxaca food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the city's medina. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Oaxaca tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, mild nut allergies, no pork diets and no seafood diets are possible, though some tastings do not have alternatives available If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

The best food tour in the city!

Hands down the best food tour in Oaxaca. I was lucky to be the only one that booked for the day, so I got a personalised experience! I don't know where to start - every part of the tour was excellently thought out, from explaining the methods of cooking to the history of the dish (Oaxaca has a very rich history which is reflected through their food!). The guides were so friendly and hard working, making sure all my questions were answered. They ensured I always had water, and anytime I had to go to the bathroom they'd point me to the right direction. The variety of food was extremely good for the price paid, it wasn't just bites, it was full on street food portions. We went to a market that is more popular with locals than tourists, then even a small mezcal tasting which taught me more than the standard tours that go to the mezcalerias as a day trip. If I could rate this more than 5 stars, I would. Honestly what made it so special were the guides. Thank you for teaching me things about your culture!

We had an awesome time on this tour with Dora. She was very nice, polite, and informative. The food she took us to was delicious, and we got to try things we wouldn’t have ordered on our own. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Oaxaca, especially for the first time!
Great food and fun!

Such a great food tour in Oaxaca. Everything was super well organised and there was *so much* food, we were completely full by the end. Our guide, Dora, was amazing, really knowledgeable, friendly, and made every stop more interesting with her insights. Definitely one of the best ways to understand the local food scene and history

This was a wonderful experience. Not just the food which was amazing but food that was totally unfamiliar to us. It was nice to hear the stories of the families running these street and market stands. Dora helped put these foods into a local Oaxaca context.

Dora and the food tour was amazing. It was well organised and well thought out. We tried so many delicious foods we would not have found on our own. It was fun, tasty, and we learnt a lot also. Great value for money.

Dora was really fun and knowledgable. We went to two markets, a bakery, and stopped at 2-3 food trucks. It was a delightful experience. The first market is just local and it’s where Dora grew up going with her family. This tour is special in that it is truly authentic vs tourist authentic. I was traveling solo and felt very very comfy cozy and safe. There was only one desert I did not like so much. It was for sure the highlight of my trip! Dora even helped me do a little shopping for chocolate, chilis and a straw bag. Sign up! It’s a great way to see the city and experience local life off the tourist path. 🌞🙌🥘💃 Erin from Oregon
