We had a great experience with Paola. We had the opportunity to taste some delicious local breakfast items that are very different from what we are used to in our home country. We learned a lot about the history of Mazatlan as well as the culture during this excursion. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who not only enjoys delicious food, but also the story behind the food as well.

WOW, this tour exceeded our expectations. Not only did we get to experience true authentic Mexican cuisine, we also got to see some sights and learn some history. Paola, goes above and beyond to make this a truly memorable experience filled with so many flavours, your mouth will be begging for more.

Paola was a fantastic guide for local food and culture. If you want to eat like a local, and learn the history of why these foods are part of Mazatlan, spend some time with her.

I should start by saying my partner and I booked the Mazatlán taste and tradition food tour - but I can’t express enough that the tour was just the tip of the iceberg of how Paola enriched our experience in Mazatlan. For our tour date, it was just the two of us with Paola and it was such an amazing few hours touring around the city. I won’t spoil the stops we made on the tour - because in my opinion one of the best parts is how Paola wove together a story of the city of Mazatlán using both current and historic influences that you find throughout the tour. Overall, I can’t recommend the tour enough. However my opinion, the tour was just the start. The places we visited, the knowledge of the city gained, and the recommendations Paola provides visitors on the Tomatl blog gave us direction to better shape the remaining three days of our visit. We valued Paola’s knowledge so much we made it a point to visit as many of the restaurants on her “Delightful Bites A Culinary Journey Through My Favorite Mazatlán Eateries” blog post and we got to 4 out of the 5 recommendations. Each time we were affirmed that Paola never steered us wrong when making culinary suggestions. (And I can also attest that the shrimp morita taco at Mariscos Piquillas and the crafted tasting menu at ATOL are outstanding). Thank you so much Paola and Tomatl for everything!

This was the highlight of our trip to Mazatlan! Paola and her team are fountains of information and we saw and tasted a lot of foods we would not have found on our own. 1 stop was for the best birria i've ever tasted. Really informational and fun!
