Amazing Breakfast Tour! - Such a wonderful tour! Cha Cha was informative, attentive, and enthusiastic! The food was amazing, and it was a fantastic way to experience a part of Puerto Vallarta we may not have seen had we not opted for this tour. I appreciated the morning tour as well because it wasn't scorching hot out yet. It was truly a memorable experience!

Great food and great host - Chacha was so nice and a pleasure to be around. Not only did we get to taste some great tacos but she gave us a lot of the local history. A good food tour is always great, but having such a friendly host makes it all a great experience. Great food and great company.

Awesome 10/10 - Me and my friend loved this tour. When it first began it was a little rainy but our guide ChaCha was so amazing we didn’t even mind. The food was amazing, the walk was beautiful ( not too long) and ChaCha was very informative and friendly. The vibes were great. I would 100% recommend and do it again my next visit.

A fun, educational and tasty introduction to local tacos! - An excellent tour of family-owned, unique taco stands and small restaurants! Our guide, Star, introduced us to amazing flavors and experiences while sharing the history and cultural significance of the mighty taco. We learned (and ate!) a lot. The small group (there were just six of us) made the tour intimate. I highly recommend Vallarta Local and Star!

More Than Just Tacos - Amazing delicious food tasting at local taco stands & restaurants in local neighborhoods in the Romantica area. We tasted a variety of tacos & salsas. This tour was about the food of Mexico & how it evolved to what it is today. Star, our guide, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic & loved sharing the best of Mexico. Can’t wait to do the afternoon tour next time we’re here.

Couldn't recommend it more! - An amazing tour. Star, our guide, was so informative, providing us with knowledge on Mexican food and culture that we wouldn't have otherwise known. She was happy to answer any questions, taught us the perfect taco stand etiquette and, of course, the food was amazing at every single stop that she chose to include along the way. We definitely wouldn't have eaten as authentically as this on our first trip to Mexico if it wasn't for Star and this tour.
