Our Start:
We kick off our journey at Parque de las Palapas, where your cheerful tour guide will be waiting on the left side of the main stage, right in front of the OXXO store—ready to lead you into the heart of Cancun’s street food scene.
Our first delicious stop? Esquites, Mexico’s beloved street corn in a cup. This isn’t your average corn snack—it’s cooked fresh with fragrant epazote, served warm with a spoonful of mayo, a sprinkle of salty cheese, a splash of lime, and your choice of chili powder—from mild to "I-need-a-hug" spicy. Each bite is creamy, tangy, and packed with street flavor, just like you’d get from a classic esquites cart in any Mexican neighborhood.
It’s the perfect welcome snack to kick off a night full of tacos, laughs, and unforgettable flavors.
Yucatecan “Tacos”
Time to dive deeper into flavor! Our second stop brings you a classic from the Yucatán Peninsula: the salbute—a delicious puffed corn tortilla topped with vibrant ingredients. While often (incorrectly) called a "Yucatecan taco," this dish is in a league of its own.
The house favorite? Cochinita pibil—slow-roasted pork marinated in achiote and citrus, bursting with flavor and tradition. Prefer chicken or a vegetarian option? No problem—we’ve got you. Whichever you choose, expect something juicy, tender, and soaked in Yucatecan soul.
Grab a bite, add some pickled red onions, maybe a dash of habanero if you’re brave, and taste history in every mouthful.
Legendary Fish Tacos
Welcome to a beloved local favorite—this cozy spot has grown alongside Cancún and has been serving flavor-packed seafood tacos for years.
Their house specialty? Beer-battered fresh fish tacos. Crispy, golden, tender inside, and bursting with flavor. It's a gourmet twist on a classic, served with all the right toppings to make every bite unforgettable.
Next up: the shrimp tacos (Camaroncillas). These deep-fried beauties are crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and just the right amount of indulgent.
It’s not street food—but it’s got all the soul, served in a relaxed, no-fuss setting where locals and foodies come together for some of the best seafood tacos in town.
Carnivore's Paradise
Calling all meat lovers—this is where things get juicy.
The star of the show? Suadero tacos—slow-cooked brisket, Mexican style. The meat bathes for hours in a rich mix of beef and pork lard until it’s fall-apart tender and full of flavor. When it's ready, it comes out glistening, wrapped in a tortilla like a towel straight out of the sauna—boom, straight to your plate.
Not into suadero? No worries. There’s spicy chorizo sizzling on the grill, and for the bold, the legendary crunchy tripe tacos—or as one wise eater put it: crispy bacon with a Mexican soul.
And yes, we've got our vegetarian friends covered too—with a cheese quesadilla, warm, melty, and just as satisfying.
Get ready for a stop that’s pure magic! We hit up the legendary spot where the taco al pastor was born—juicy, marinated pork spinning on the trompo, sliced fresh and landing hot on your tortilla like a flavor bomb ready to explode in your mouth. It’s the kind of taco that makes you say, “Why haven’t I been eating this my whole life?”
Right after, we dive into a chill mini Tequila tasting session where you’ll learn the secrets behind the aromas and flavors of the best artisanal tequilas—no rush, just good vibes and great sips.
And hey, if you’re rolling veggie style, no worries—we’ve got a veggie taco that’s so tasty, even meat lovers get jealous.
Trust us, this stop alone will have you dreaming about tacos for days. Who’s ready to taco ‘bout it?
Last Stop for Dessert:
Get ready for the ultimate power-up: fresh, crispy churros! Enjoy them straight out of the fryer or level up with a dip in rich chocolate, creamy sweetened condensed milk, or the house special—caramel cajeta. This sweet finale is the perfect reward after your taco conquest.
