Jen 2025 - Our Tour guy was excellent. Explain what food from what part of Mexico how was it made how the restaurant started? It’s OK to try more than one even though we allow one tasting walking around the beautiful kids Mural was exciting. We even learn about Miguel painting

It was a wonderful tour.... - It was a wonderful tour. Our guided Adrian was super sweet and attentive. He told us about all the good spots to go eat, gave us some amazing alcohol beverage recommendations. I swear that was an amazing drink. He has really good food option for you and gives you an estimate of how far your hotel is from these stalls in case you wanna visit again. He’s even willing to let you get a bit of extra food if you’re still feeling hungry and cover you there which is really sweet. That’s totally not his job to pay extra for us, which speaks volumes about his character. He’s really a sweet guy and super informative. I recommend taking a tour with him if you want good quality food and valuable info and company.

Delicious and informative - Food guide VERY informative, personable and patient. True local flare and fare. Definitely go hungry. Market tour was a little short on time, but fun. Could have spent twice as long there to take in more of the offerings.
