About

Some Of The Best Food In Vallarta Is Only Served At Night. There is always something exciting to do in Vallarta but our city really comes alive at night. Save your appetite because this evening food tour takes you to the street food stands that are only open late in the day.

  • This 3 hour guided food tour kicks off in the heart of downtown Vallarta.
  • Come hungry as we will walk a little over 1 mile and take a quick 10-minute bus ride to dine at 8 authentic restaurants and street food stands.
  • Tacos include carne asada, al pastor, seafood, and cabeza. Also enjoy regional favorites such as pozole, sopes, churros, and a marlin quesadilla.

What to expect from this tour? More Than Just Street Tacos – We’re foodies too and we understand your craving for street tacos, but for a truly authentic experience we have added a few other regional dishes to our list of tasting locations. We promise you won’t be disappointed.

Behind The Food – We share the story behind each dish you taste and a bit about each street food stand. We point out the landmarks we pass along the way and share a bit about Vallarta’s rich history and culture.
