You step off the air-conditioned van into a humid Cancun evening: neon signs flicker, tortillas steam under a griddle, and a mariachi trumpet threads through the street. The tour threads four compact stops across neighborhoods where cooks still press corn by hand and the menu changes by the hour. It’s less about polished plates and more about steeping in a city that eats late and loudly.
