My friend and I enjoyed the Barrios Bites food tour with Eduardo. He accommodated our unique food requests and answered all our questions during the tour. We enjoyed meeting the local Mazatlan people and eating food from the local mom and pop food vendors. We had fried tacos (tuna or beef), manta ray soup, smoked Marlin fish, fresh ground corn tortillas, sun-dried shrimp, and a ripe coconut slushy. It was a fun way to enjoy a beautiful day in Mazatlan. We would definitely do this tour again, as well as try the other food tour options that Flavor Teller offers.

We did the kitchen cooking experience with Yolanda. The owner and tour guide Mika was awesome. We had a little history of Mazatlan, a great tour of the Mexican market where we bought the ingredients for cooking and then made our way to Yolanda’s personal residence. We assisted in making some fantastic ceviche, all of which was amazing and even took so much back to the hotel. Yolanda made us feel at home in her kitchen and Mika even took us to a coffee roaster afterwards as we mentioned we wanted to buy some coffee. Overall a fantastic experience and we would definitely do more tours with this company. The small sized yours were also fantastic.

My family and I really enjoyed the Barrio Bites food tour. We visited some amazing places, and each provided wonderful street food. We enjoyed eating with the locals and having conversations with the owners. We also visited a local tortilla factory and tasted a freshly made corn tortilla. We visited a wonderful restaurant that provided a large plate of food for us all to share. Included was a visit to a fish monger. We were able to taste smoked tuna! In total we visited 6 or 7 local food stops. This tour lasts about 3 hours and it is ended with a trip to a local brewery. Eduardo is an excellent tour guide and I would recommend this food tour to anyone that is interested.

What a great day with Eduardo! It was easy to find the meeting place (15 min walk from the cruise terminal). We started with a yummy taco and then headed to the harbor where Eduardo (in excellent English) explained the process of the shrimpers and processors. At each food stop, he told us about the people who owned the restaurant and everything was so delicious! Highly recommend!

If you’re considering a food tour in Mazatlan, look no further! We had the pleasure of joining a tour led by Eduardo, who was a standout guide- kind, gracious and impressively knowledgeable about the city, its rich history, and the people who make it vibrant. Eduardo’s passion for Mazatlan shone through as he shared fascinating stories and insight about the area, which really added depth to each stop. Every stop on our tour was unique, offering an incredible variety of food and drink that highlighted the diversity of Mazatlan’s culinary scene. We sampled traditional street foods with each bite telling its own story. Meeting the local merchants was not her highlight; they welcomed us warmly and shared their own experiences, making the tour feel incredibly personal and authentic. I can not recommend this tour- and Eduardo enough. It was an unforgettable way to experience Mazatlan’s flavors and meet the wonderful people who bring the city to life! If you want a memorable, mouthwatering journey with an outstanding guide, BOOK this tour!!

An amazing experience with delicious food and an informative and fun guide. We went to areas of mazatlan and to food stalls we would not have gone to on our own!

Don’t eat one thing before taking this tour because there is plenty of food to taste. There were only 4 of us to include our guide El Gordo very personable & knowledgeable of Mazatlan and its rich history. The weather started off hot but we were grateful for the partly cloudy afternoon. Glad it wasn’t a lot of walking because of the heat. The truck that provided transportation was open so we got a lot of cool air as the driver transported to each destination. Be careful of the 1st food stop (Tacos El Veneno) the food is so delicious, but there’s macaroni salad that will put your mouth on fire lol. The owner is very friendly, he plans on having his own restaurant in the future. Next stop we had turtle soup, excellent! Next stop Chayito Cenaduia excellent service & amazing food. Next stop shrimp market we tasted freeze dried shrimp at Camarón Seco, I passed on that. Next stop small business that made fresh tortillas. You gotta buy some to take with you, they were delicious with a little salt. Next stop fish market, we had smoked Marlin and blended down Marlin kinda of paste like dip all so delicious. Final stop Cerveceria Tres Islas where we tasted a variety of beers. Very friendly and personable staff made us feel very welcomed. Great tour hands down!!

We were in Mazatlán for 2 weeks, and in that time we did many tours and activities. Some were great, some were only okay. This one was absolutely the best. We did the "Night Eats" tour, during which we were transported to six different locations to try food that's only available after dark. Everything we tried, from the super popular taqueria to the corner stall making fresh churros, was insanely delicious. Our tour guide, Maaike, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was a bit apprehensive about the price while booking, but now that we've done it, I actually think it's fantastic value. We got a great meal, and learned so much about the local food culture, but the real value is after the tour, we felt far more confident about going into the local shops and knowing what to order! Our only regret is that we wish we had done it earlier in our trip. Cannot recommend enough!

Maaike’s tour started with a delicious shrimp starter close to the docks, initiating our group of 5 to a street restaurant preparing our meal on site. She explained why seafood is best in the early hours, gave historical backgrounds to what we were experiencing, and provided so much local information! Living here, being willing to share, and providing diverse menu options, Flavour Teller has allowed us the opportunity to explore food in front of us that we would likely not have tried. Most tourists would walk into more conventional restaurants; instead we were eating like locals, having awesome food at every stop, while opening our eyes to venturing into new venues. Highly recommend!

We had such a great time! Eduardo, our guide was the best, and the food/drink was amazing. This experience was a highlight of our Mazatlan vacation. Highly recommend!

We had wonderful time with Flavor Teller food tours! We did the Flavors of Mexico tour with Maaike and it was such an incredible experience. This tour took us off the between path, away from the tourist areas and gave us the opportunity to try cuisine from all over Mexico. It was lovely chatting with the owners of these family owned restaurants and trying their incredible food. Maaike was a fantastic tour guide and told us about the history of Mazatlan in addition to information about the food we were eating. A food tour with Flavor Teller is an absolutely must do if you are visiting Mazatlan!

Had an absolutely amazing time! It was the first time I’ve ever done a food tour and it was great. I learnt so much more about local food then I would have on my own, plus Eduardo also gave us some great insight in to Mazatlan’s rich culture and history. Totally recommend taking this tour if you can and we will definitely take another when we come back.

I cannot say enough good things about this tour. It takes you to food trucks and other spots that a tourist would have a really hard time coming across on their own. Our guide, Maaike, was very knowledgeable giving us the history of these establishments, some of which are family owned spanning generations. Everywhere we went, the food was delicious and unique. Just a really great several hours spent learning about Mazatlan while enjoying great food.

Excellent food tour. I appreciate that Maaike knows the story of each street food vendor and restaurant/brewery we visited. I appreciate that she shared both their history and their personalities. She was also open to chatting about other subject that the group asked about.

We had a fantastic time on this tour and ate SO MUCH wonderful food! Thank you to Sebastian, who did a wonderful job of guiding a bunch of gringos around town.
