Huatulco: Must-See Food-Tour – Unvergessliche Genüsse!

Truly appreciated your flexibility! Loved the tour and realized I know nothing about the origins of food.

If you're a curious person, if you're a learner, if you like to know the hows and whys behind something, then THIS is the food tour for you. Sure, you can follow someone around La Crucecita and fill up on tacos, but the Huatulco Walking Food Tour is SO much richer than that. Our guide, Jane is a Canadian transplant who has lived and worked in the area for almost 30 years! She owns a restaurant and a cooking school here, so she knows the food scene like a local expert. With her background in cultural studies and post-colonial history, she filled the tour with the richness of this perspective; where the foods come from, why they are cooked that way, how the ingredients interact, and what their significance is to Huatulco culture and history. This makes for a MUCH more interesting tour than simply grazing taco stands. She speaks perfect English and Spanish and seems to know everyone in the town. She finds all the non-touristy eateries and is welcomed as a friend at each of them. The food was delicious also as we sampled seven items from a special grilled chicken (pollo al horno), real local tacos, had a molé made right in front of us, and Tlayudas before cooling off with paletas at the end of the three hour tour with Jane. I've taken dozens of tours all over South America, Central America and Mexico, but the time with Jane is a food history tour, that fills the mind as well as the stomach.

What a great experience! The tour guide , Juanita was very knowledgeable, opened our eyes to so much food history.. she is very friendly, polite and very family oriented!!

Jane was an excellent tour guide and we had a great time. She has a wealth of information. We highly recommend this tour!

I wanted to experience the food culture in Huatulco and learn about some of the best spots for a great meal or snack and this tour did exactly that! Jane is incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and down to earth offering her expertise in a way that is engaging and fun. We visited some great spots within a short distance and learned so much. Im really happy we went on this tour and highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about booking. Thank you, Jane!

Ben was an outstanding guide! Very knowledgeable about Huatulco’s past and present. Ben shared his personal thoughts on the food we sampled. And we sampled a lot - seed/nut candy, dried tiny fish, pastries, tamales, chocolate, mezcal, local “fruit” and chocolate drinks, ice cream and as many different street tacos as we could swallow! And everything was delicious!

Amazing guide! He shared so much about local culture along with the food--we felt like friends! Food was unique and delicious, and we appreciated a little time to shop, along with local tips.

This was a great way to explore La Crucecita and taste authentic foods in the area! Jane offered the group a bit of history and explanation as we progressed through the tour. We did the Saturday evening option and enjoyed this as a fun and expansive dinner - you won’t end hungry! The freshly made potato chips were delicious as well as tacos el pastor (really, everything we tried was so good!). We also enjoyed the opportunity to purchase a drink from the bar (we got margaritas, on our own dime) at one of the restaurants to go with the mole tasting. Ending with ice cream was a perfect sweet treat. Overall this was an excellent experience and perfect way to navigate the area with a guide before we returned a few days later and walked many of the same blocks again more confidently to shop and have lunch. We’d love to do this again on a future trip to Huatulco!

Jane was awesome gave lots of great local info and the food was wonderful! Wouldn’t hesitate to do the morning tour next time.

Hola Jane Your food tour was outstanding. Thank you for changing my taste for mole to the good side. The soup was truly excellent. We are sorry but accidentally stole your spoons. All the best in your future with this tour.
