    Exceptional foddie experience

    Stephanie_G, Mar 2026
    Exceptional experience- sampling various local foods with the birra tacos and shrimp ceviche were divine. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable about local cuisine and history. I would highly recommend the outing and definitely plan on booking it again.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Stephanie, this made us smile big. We love that you enjoyed the birria tacos and shrimp ceviche… those are hard to forget once you try them. It means a lot to hear you connected with both the food and the stories behind it. That’s exactly what we hope to share. Thank you for your recommendation and for trusting us with your time. We’ll be ready for round two whenever you come back. The Tulaka Mexico Crew

    Julia_M, Mar 2026
    This tour was great! We loved trying new foods and getting out of the tourist area! Antonio was a great tour guide!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Julia, thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed stepping outside the tourist areas and discovering some of the local flavors with us. That’s exactly the spirit of this experience. Antonio will be very glad to know you appreciated his guidance along the way. Thank you for exploring a different side of Cancún with us. We hope the memories (and the flavors) stay with you for a long time. Warm regards, Tulaka Mexico Crew
