Tour description

A relaxed afternoon of chatting, learning about local finger foods and tasting delicious authentic tacos. A (very) filling taco lunch with a local friend.

​You´ll learn the history of tacos and how tacos are prepared and eaten around Mexico. We will visit up to 5 different taco spots in the central and south neighborhoods. You'll be able to taste 5 to 10 different tacos and many salsas and toppings. It's the most popular breakfast or lunch tacos in the city, the ones we locals often eat. You may try refried beans, cheese, beef machaca, beef and pork birria, chicharron, carnitas, marlin and baja style fish tacos, and shrimp and octopus quesadillas. Plus, drinks and dessert. And lot's of fun. We'll visit street stands and small taco eateries, all of them family businesses. We will also visit a corn tortilla factory!

At every stop, you will learn the menus and prices. We will guide you through the selection process and recommend the most authentic and representative items. And then you take care of your check. The total expense per person for this very filling breakfast or lunch, including drinks and dessert, is the equivalent to between $10 and $15 USD at the very most. Bring your pesos and your apetite!

After our walking and eating session, you will feel more connected to the fabulous local taco scene and you will be more than ready to continue exploring on your own with more knowledge and confidence. I will also show you additional spots that you can visit later on and give you lots of extra info on how to make your vacation more enjoyable.

Enjoy Vallarta by the hand of a proud local.

Have done several food tours and even other taco tours. Memo was great, super informative and even personalized the tour on who was in attendance. Would recommend.

We had a wonderful few hours exploring our guide’s favorite taco haunts. Each stop was unique and it was nice that we were warmly welcomed at each one. The knowledge and passion shared was really inspiring. We can’t wait to return to PV.

What a terrific tour! Memo was knowledgeable, charismatic, and showed us 4 great taco places and ended the tour at a local ice cream shop. Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious and with his recommendations we will be sure to go back and visit some of these places! Thank you Memo for a wonderful afternoon!

Memo is an amazing tour guide and this was an awesome tour. I was not expecting the tacos to be this good in PV, I'm going to take his night tour as well. If you're in PV even for just a day, you've got to do one of Memo's tours.

Did the Taco 101 walking tour with guide “Memo” on my last day in PV this trip. Lots of variety and reasonably priced. The pace was good, Memo was a very good guide, knowledgeable and fun to be with. It was a small group, 7 of us and thoroughly enjoyable.
