You visit about 7 stops and they were places we wouldn't have know about on our own. Wendy was our tour guide and she was wonderful! She was very personable, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke great English. We were a party of 6 and it was Steve's birthday and she even bought him a pie on her! She went above and beyond!Highly recommend this tour and especially Wendy. She made the experience unforgettable.

Wendy, our tour guide, took us to food experiences we would never have had. And we enjoyed ever minute. Wendy shared her extensive knowledge of the area as well as the foods we tried . The locations selected were those frequented by locals so we really got to experience the food culture of Mazatlán.
If you're looking for a food tour in Mazatlán, this is the one! Wendy was an absolutely amazing guide—outgoing, cheerful, and genuinely passionate about sharing her city with us. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the local cuisine and history. We left completely stuffed and armed with a great understanding of the culture and where to eat next. Thank you, Wendy, for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
We were a little surprised that our 10 am tour was of breakfast locations, but now we understand that breakfast ends at around 1pm. Even so, we got to have some tacos and other foods that were fantastic! Mika was hugely knowledgable and obviously loved by the local food trucks who roll out the red carpet for everyone. We saw local tortilla shops, seafood specialty shops and even a micro brewery.
Food was excellent and the service was outstanding!
Highly recommend.

Wendy the guide and Jonathan the driver were excellent. Wendy was very knowledgeable and personable and both did a great job accommodating us with a limited mobility member. Wendy is a true local and it showed in her knowledge and excitement to share her home town history and food. Oh yeah, the food was excellent too! Varied and just the right amounts!
Wendy is an excellent tour guide. Very informative and great english. The food was amazing!!!!!! I feel like we got to see the side of Mazatlan that tourists rarely get to see.
We stopped at several places that I would have not found on my own. Wendy was a great guide and I really enjoyed this tour.
Wendy was great! Lots of authentic local foods and experience. Loved the personalities of the shops and tried a number of foods only found here.
What a fun day! Eduardo was a great tour guide. Our group was six people so it was the perfect size! We have been coming to Mazatlan for 20+ years and went to places today that we never knew existed! We got a fun bit of history mixed in with our gastronomic experience and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Eduardo was amazing!! We especially loved all the history and food tasting. Our favorite was El Veneno tacos, the flavors were immaculate.
This was so much fun! We learned so much about the shrimp and tortilla making. Great food that we would never have tried from the looks at some of the street vendors! Delish!

Hi Cynthia! What a mouthwatering experience you had at the Barrio Bites tour. The family-run eateries are very popular with locals, but they are off the beaten path. Wasn't it great to learn about Mazatlan's cosmopolitan history along the way? We hope to welcome you again soon.
Had a great time with Eduardo! The food was tasty and unique and there was plenty of it! Might take my future company on this excursion next month!

Hi Lisa! It's a true joy to read your review. The Barrio Bites tour is all about breakfast the Mazatlan way. Thank you for suggestion to come hungry: a big smile and an appetite are a must on this tour.
we started off with some yummy tacos as a great history about street food Eddie our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable about the city and the culture. Every stop we had, the food was amazing. The people were friendly. We had a great time. It was casual and relaxing.
Great experience. Loved to taste all of the local Barrio Bites! Guide spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable about the city of Matzalan
We were so very impressed with our guide’s extensive knowledge, with the tour’s small family owned business focus, the food freshness and quality, the very interesting local historical information provided. We’ve already been back to several of the places and recommendations on our own!
We had such a great time! Eduardo, our guide was the best, and the food/drink was amazing. This experience was a highlight of our Mazatlan vacation. Highly recommend!
Eduardo was awesome we learned so much about the history of Mazatlan. Having 3 other couples from various parts made for a very enjoyable time. The local food vendors locals eat at were great too. We're very happy we chose this tour.
The tour was amazing and the guide Eduardo was so insightful and entertaining. Very knowledgeable about the city and the foods. I recommend doing the tour early in your trip to give you time to go back to the areas shown in the tour
Maaika was a wonderful guide, taking us to seven different tasting experiences. Places that we would never have happened upon if it wasn’t for her. Everything we ate was so tasty and plentiful. The small group made it very personalized. Will definitely sign up for more tours with Maaika on our return to Mazatlan.
Great food, great city, great guide! We learned a lot about Mazatlan, explored areas we never would have found on our own, and tasted some amazing food!
The stories behind the places we stopped at was a great addition to the tour. Lots of local color and understanding of life in Mazatlan,
She incorporated the history of Mazatlan as well as the food and how it relates to the culture and people. Loved it!
Loved it! Thanks so much!! The tour guide was amazing and the food was delicious! Thank you for showing us the city!!
My husband and I recently took the Barrio Bites tour. We were so happy we did. It exceeded our expectations. We got to experience authentic Mazatlan through our guides knowledgeable eyes as she brought us to the very heart of multiple restaurants kitchens as well as local food stands. Although ours was a cruise ship stopover in Mazatlan, we truly felt like locals as we experienced the food and culture that is unique to the area. Definitely an awesome way to spend a day in Mazatlan!
