Spend about four hours in Puerto Morelos with guides such as Karina, Carlos, or Maui, sampling fish, shrimp, chicken, veggie, smoked-meat, and Yucatecan pork tacos. You will also visit the main square, browse the craft market, taste tequila, and choose a natural-flavor ice cream.

“We had a wonderful experience — the service was excellent from start to finish, including a helpful confirmation call the day before. Of all our excursions during the week, this company was by far the most communicative and organized. This tour is run by the same company that does the popular snorkel trips. About 90% of people chose snorkeling that day, and only four of us did the taco tour — which honestly made it feel more personal. The town of Puerto Morelos ended up being my favorite area of the entire trip: charming, walkable, and full of small-town character. We visited two taco restaurants; both were good. I’d rate…”

4.CANCUN TACO TOUR – The Taco Attack – Tacos, Tequila & More

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 148 reviews · 2 to 4 hours (approx.)

“The biggest problem with this trip was our guide was on drugs or something. His eyes were all hazed over, and he had issues walking. At first, we thought we would just go along with the flow ..we made it to the tequila tasting which they wanted you to buy but wanted you to pay 4 times the actual cost. Our guide stepped away after that event, and when he returned was worse than he was before. We then politely said we were done for the evening and did not finish. When I complained they offered us $30 for the last two places we didn't visit. I and my friends…”

“Great experience with G and Angel. informative, fun, and well-rounded tour with varied and authentic food. However, I was somewhat disappointed that we didn't have more walking and experiencing the ambience of downtown Cancun. G mentioned a few times that it's a very walkable town, but...all the walking we did was 10min around the market. The urban art was to be seen from the van, so not great. I would rate the tour very well for its food variety, but very poorly on the walking/experiencing the vibe of the city part. Since this was a food focused tour, I guess it's our fault, but I definitely would have liked to…”
