If you’re eager to try some of the best food Mexico has to offer, look no further than Made in Oaxaca – Puerto Food Tours.
Oaxaca is arguably the best state in all of Mexico to treat yo tastebuds, and the sleepy surf town of Puerto Escondido is the perfect place to indulge (…did someone say seafood!).
Where the locals go
The Made in Oaxaca Tour takes you on a culinary journey from market to table. You start off in the buzz of the main Mercado where you taste-test an array of Oaxacan food staples and learn about traditional meals. After this, you wizz around the city stopping at several hole-in-the-wall joints (that we would never have found as tourists!). Remember to come hungry – you get a full plate at every stop, so we practically rolled back to our hostel 😂
The best fish tacos in Puerto Escondido
This is a big call considering there are a lot of impressive contenders in Puerto Escondido but the Made in Oaxaca Tour takes you to the OG fish taco restaurant. Complete with a hidden outdoor area, scandalous history AND… a secret order that isn’t even on the menu! My mouth is watering just thinking about those tacos…
What to expect on Puerto Food Tours
I love a company with a strong mission, and Puerto Food Tours are dedicated to helping local cuisine thrive by supporting family-run businesses. They partner with the proud people behind the scenes, listen to fascinating stories, and taste antique recipes on our insider experiences 🙂
You can’t leave Mexico without trying Queso
Also known as Oaxaca Cheese, If this is your first time tasting queso you are in for an absolute treat. We not only did a queso tasting in the Mercado but tried it as part of two of the dishes we ate along the way.
A special touch
You guys know how important food is to my travels. From Oaxaca, Osaka, Rome, Seoul to Beijing… food tours are my absolute favourite way to learn about the history and culture of a city. What really makes a tour stand out though, is the passion and knowledge of the guide. That’s where Sofia, from Puerto Food Tours, really shines. Sofia’s charisma, ability to bring history and culture to life through storytelling and contagious smile was the cherry on top of an incredible afternoon.
