Overview

Skip the tourist restaurants and discover the real flavours of Puerto Vallarta on this immersive lunchtime food tour. With 14+ tastings across neighbourhood kitchens, street carts, and beloved local spots, this experience is designed to show you how locals actually eat.

Start at a traditional tortilla factory, where warm tortillas come straight off the grill, before sampling a wide range of favourites from crispy chicharrón and slow-cooked carnitas tacos to rich birria sopes served with lamb broth. Along the way you’ll learn about the ingredients, cooking techniques, and food traditions

Beyond the food, the tour takes you away from the main tourist strip and into everyday neighbourhoods, offering a deeper look at Puerto Vallarta’s local food culture. The experience finishes on a sweet note with tequila ice cream and a taste of raicilla, the region’s lesser-known agave spirit.

If you want to understand Puerto Vallarta through its food, this tour offers the perfect introduction.

Activity itinerary

Puerto Vallarta

  • 30m
Our Puerto Vallarta food tour offers guests a culinary experience carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Puerto Vallarta tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian and halal diets, and severe allergies as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ No pork diets, no seafood diets, gluten intolerance, mild tree nut and peanut allergies are possible though some tastings do not have alternatives available and the menu would be more limited

Puerto Vallarta

  • 3h
This four-hour lunchtime food tour explores Puerto Vallarta beyond the main tourist areas, focusing on the neighbourhood kitchens, street carts and spots beloved by locals. This isn't about fine dining, it's the real food of Puerto Vallarta. Our 14+ taster food tour begins at a local tortilla factory, where warm tortillas are served fresh from the grill with soft local queso and salsa. From there, you’ll sample a wide range of dishes including crispy chicharrón, slow-cooked carnitas on corn tacos, smoky marlin burritas, fresh ceviche on tostadas, birria sopes served with comforting lamb broth, and warm gorditas filled with creamy roasted peppers. The experience finishes with a sweet treat of creamy tequila ice cream, and a taste of raicilla, a local cousin to Jalisco's tequila. Join this daily crash course into Puerto Vallarta's local flavours.
