Best food tour we’ve taken so far! - Paola was an absolute delight to spend the day with. She took us to the best spots around town and provided information about the history and culture of the area. We felt like we got just the right amount of food, drink and sweets and can’t wait to return to take one of her cooking classes! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this tour - Paola Osuna’s Mazatlan’s Routes of Taste & Tradition Food tour this past week was over 4 hours of valuable information on Mazatlan, specifically, & Mexican, generally, culture as well as very delicious, out of the ordinary, food choices that encouraged both those new to Mazatlan & those who have lived here for years to venture beyond the ordinary.

The best food tour - Paola's food and culture tour was the best! We sampled Mexican cuisine from small restaurants and street vendors. Even stopped for a beer. Visited the shrimp boat fleet. Had a great time and learned a lot. Thanks Paula.

All the flavours! - Wonderful food tour with a side helping of history. Paola is a native of Mazatlán and as such is a wealth of information! We sampled ceviche, empanadas, artisan ice cream and many types/varieties of tacos. All in all an excellent taste experience and one we highly recommend!

Not to mention the food we had was insanely good. I will tell people over & over & over to go to Mazatlan & do this food tour. I actually already have.

Do this tour to taste authentic Mexican cuisine - Very enjoyable Day ! Paola was knowledgeable and delightful. We spent the day with her and two other couples when we arrived into our cruise port. Her directions to our meeting point were great. We walked from the cruise port to the cafe. The food was amazing, and I still talk about everything we tried…she took us to the shrimp market, the Pacifico brewery, the shrimp boats, a couple street vendors, and two local restaurants where the locals enjoy their meals. We throughly enjoyed our day ….. Thank you

Not just good food - We had a great experience with Paola. We had the opportunity to taste some delicious local breakfast items that are very different from what we are used to in our home country. We learned a lot about the history of Mazatlan as well as the culture during this excursion. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who not only enjoys delicious food, but also the story behind the food as well.
