This four-hour evening food tour explores Mérida after dark, when the city’s food scene comes alive. As the only evening food experience in town, the tour focuses on authentic Yucatecan dishes enjoyed at family-run eateries, street stalls, and cantinas, not fine dining, but the real food beloved by locals.
The experience begins in the late afternoon with classic Yucatán favourites: shredded cochinita pibil served in fresh tortas and golden empanadas filled with melted queso. From there, you’ll sample a wide variety of regional dishes including tacos, handmade tortillas, panuchos, and salbutes, alongside specialties like turkey relleno negro and the traditional Yucatecan dish queso relleno.
Make a pitstop at one of Mérida's iconic cantinas for a cold beer and local botanas, then finish on a sweet note with freshly make marquesitas. With 15+ tastings enjoyed over four hours, this guided evening walk offers an authentic introduction to Mérida’s food culture with a knowledgable local foodie.
