The tour begins at a brick-lined intersection in Historic Cocoa Village, where the smell of wood-fired pizza and citrus blends with the salt of the nearby Indian River. Your guide in a red Village Food Tours shirt leads the group across Taylor Park, past porches and old storefronts, and into four locally owned restaurants where plates arrive like short stories: each bite a chapter about the town.
