This tour is operated by our partner Oaxaca Free Walking Tour.
Forget the tourist traps and crowded restaurants, this 4-hour experience invites you to see Oaxaca through the eyes (and taste buds) of a local. Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure through the city’s historic center and vibrant neighborhoods, where the real flavors of Oaxaca come alive. With seven carefully selected tasting stops, you’ll sample over 15 traditional foods and drinks that have been cherished for generations.
Sip on Tejate, a pre-Hispanic drink rich in history, enjoy refreshing aguas frescas bursting with local fruit flavors and savor the authentic taste of pulque or mezcal straight from their source. Each bite and sip connects you to Oaxaca’s rich culture, its colorful art scene and the passionate people who keep these traditions alive.
As you wander cobblestone streets and bustling markets, your knowledgeable guide will share stories behind every dish, from family recipes to culinary legends. You’ll learn about the unique ingredients that make Oaxacan cuisine world-famous and discover why food here is more than just a meal... it’s a celebration of life, history and community.
This tour is about experiencing Oaxaca in a way few visitors do. It’s the perfect blend of food, culture and local insight that leaves you full, satisfied and with a deeper connection to one of Mexico’s most enchanting cities.
