The experience
You meet your guide and walk into Old Town and Downtown, stopping at street stands and small taquerias where locals eat supper. Up to 4 stops means you taste the tacos people actually order there (pastor, carne asada, beef head and others that change nightly) along with house salsas and toppings. All you can eat and drink covers the tacos themselves, domestic beer, purified water and aguas frescas, the fruity drinks that cut through the richness.
The walk is filling enough to be dinner. Your guide shares what makes each spot worth the detour and explains the local taco culture as you move through the neighborhoods. By the end, you know which taquerias to return to, which dishes to order and how the taco scene fits into the wider food landscape of the place. You also get recommendations for other spots to explore on your own and tips on making the rest of your stay more enjoyable.
