Barrios Bites Mazatlan food tour

Published on Dec, 2024

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.

Fantastic Food Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

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.

Don’t walk but RUN to book this tour

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!!
