A Street Food Tour of Mérida – Discover the Ancient Recipes of the Yucatán

Step into the heart of Mérida through its aromas, flavors, and time-honored traditions. We’ll wander through bustling markets, colorful alleyways, and corners where history still simmers. Taste cochinita pibil, relleno negro, and salbutes hot off the pan, while hearing stories from families who’ve been cooking these dishes for generations.

This experience is a love letter to Yucatecan cuisine—vibrant, soulful, and deeply rooted in culture. You’ll eat, walk, sweat, laugh, and fall in love with the flavors that define the real Mérida. (Traveling to Mexico City during your stay in Mexico? Explore our Mexico City Food Tours.)
