The Original Puerto Vallarta Food Tour & Guided Walking Tour In Old Town Vallarta

Gourmet food trucks may be all the rage these days, but have you ever experienced the true roots of the street food culture? Since food is pretty much at the core of Mexican culture and taco stands are more common than your local quickie-marts, you cannot get a better cultural tour in Puerto Vallarta. Join our Old Town Puerto Vallarta Food Tour for a truly Mexican gastronomical adventure as you eat your way through Puerto Vallarta.


This guided walking tour in Puerto Vallarta begins in the cultural heart of Vallarta, Zona Romantica in Old Town. Sampling Vallarta's best salsas, tostadas, gorditas, fruit juices, desserts and more, this Puerto Vallarta Food Tour is a real feast for foodies and as authentic as you can get!

The Original Downtown Food Tour Tasting Highlights:

  • Tasty Ceviche: Puerto Vallarta was once a small fishing village, so it is no wonder you can find some of the best seafood in Mexico right here in Puerto Vallarta.
  • Birria Tacos: Hit the local hot spot specializing in tripe tacos and Jalisco's local tradition, delicious Birria stew..yummy!
  • Stuffed Jalapeño Tacos: We told you Puerto Vallarta had some of the best mariscos in Mexico, so you cannot try just one taco stand! The second mariscos stop is a local signature recipe you really cannot miss.
  • Chilaquiles: A staple Mexican breakfast dish and a real crowd favorite. You cannot come to Mexico and not try chilaquiles. You can say they are like breakfast nachos!
  • Mole & Tequila: Can you think of a more quintessential pairing? Taste typical mole from 2 different regions paired with top notch tequila. Sip it plain, or chase it with Sangria.
  • Carne Asada Tacos: Steak in a taco. We do not mess around, we love our tacos in Mexico. Sample some of the best carne asada tacos around with over 45 years as a local favorite.
  • Chocolate: Cacao, the cocoa beans that make chocolate is at the heart of the indigenous cultures here in Mexico. Sample the best artisanal chocolate in Puerto Vallarta.
  • Piñata Store: After all those tacos, it is time to sweeten things up a bit with a traditional Dulceria (candy shop) and visit a family owned and operated Piñata making store.
  • Aguas Frescas: This is not juice from concentrate, this is freshly grown, harvested and squeezed natural “waters”. Sample of 3 flavors in season.
  • Tuba: This wonderfully refreshing drink made from coconut palm is sold on the streets here by master crafters. We will take you to the best of the best Tuba vendors in Vallarta

Restrictions: Unfortunately, due to the uneven nature of the cobblestone streets in Puerto Vallarta, this tour is not stroller, wheelchair or crutches friendly. If you want the food without the battle, join our Mexican Cooking Class instead.

Insider Tip: Vegetarians may have a tough time finding substitutions at some of the local eateries since the cuisine on the street revolves around various fried meets, but we can do our best if you are willing to come along for the stroll. This tour is a LOT of food, so if you miss a few stops, I guarantee you will not leave hungry. If you are Vegan, contact us and we can provide you details for a Vegan food tour which will be a much better option.
