Stop 1
This is where it all begins. Your guide is ready. The adventure starts now. Morning Tour: Cafe de olla or agua fresca, animal crackers, and a warm enchilada to open your appetite. Real Cancun, first bite. Evening Tour: Esquites. Mexico's street corn in a cup. Epazote, mayo, cheese, lime, chili. One bite and you get it.
Stop 2
Morning Tour: Tacos de canasta. Steamed since dawn, filled since forever. Try the chicharron prensado. Best seller in all of Mexico. Now you know why. Evening Tour: The salbute. Puffed, crispy, topped with cochinita pibil. Add habanero if you dare. This is Yucatan on a tortilla.

Morning Tour: Tacos de guisado on a fresh hand made blue corn tortilla. Whatever the cook made today. No menu, no script. Just real Mexican home cooking. That unpredictability is the whole point. Evening Tour: Suadero. Chorizo. Crispy tripe. Pick your weapon. All cooked to perfection. Vegetarians, the cheese quesadilla will make meat lovers jealous.
Stop 5
Morning Tour: The pescadilla. Hard shell, fresh fish, Cancun style. Crispy outside, fresh inside. The sea on a tortilla. Evening Tour: The trompo is spinning. Al pastor, sliced fresh, landed hot on your tortilla. The taco that defines Mexico. You will want two.
Stop 6
Tequila 101 Blanco, reposado, mezcal. Three pours, three stories. By the end of this stop you will never look at tequila the same way again.
