Tacos de punta

If you’re looking for an authentic, unforgettable experience in Huatulco, I cannot recommend the Tip Top Tacos tour with Maria Rosa enough. This was unlike any food tour I have ever booked or experienced. Maria Rosa met us in the town plaza. From there, we walked through town visiting five different taco spots and restaurants, each with its own unique flavors, history, and style. Our first stop was “Raíces,” a more elevated restaurant experience. The portions were smaller, but everything was so incredibly delicious. We made our own salsa de molcajete and sampled a variety of plates that were beautifully prepared. The drinks were amazing, and the staff and service were exceptional. Our next stop was a taco stand, and the tacos there were seriously so good. After that, we visited a Japanese fusion spot where we had sushi rolls filled with Mexican flavors, avocado sake, and the most buttery edamame ever. Then we headed several blocks outside the town center to another restaurant with such a cool aesthetic and atmosphere. The chef there is a star! His carne en su jugo was absolutely amazing, and once again, the drinks did not disappoint. Our final stop was another local taco spot where we tried their tlayuda mixta, which was SO good. By the end of the tour, we were completely stuffed. Every single location is somewhere I would 100% revisit on my own. To top it all off, Maria Rosa gifted us her signature “Next Drop Huatulco” tote bags with a sweet treat inside, which was such a thoughtful touch. Maria Rosa herself is truly quite the character in the best way possible. She has an amazing relationship with the staff and owners at every place we visited, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. She’s knowledgeable about the city, passionate about the culture, and you can genuinely tell how much she loves my beloved Mexico. She also had trivia questions for us throughout the tour, which was both really cute and educational. This experience felt less like a tourist activity and more like spending the evening with a local friend who genuinely wants you to experience the best of Huatulco through its food and people. I would highly, highly recommend this tour.

I wish i had known in advance that this tour was over 4 hours away from the city center of Oaxaca. I had to cancel because taxi was $173usd one way! For foreigners that don’t know Oaxaca, it would have been very helpful to disclose the distance from this place. I list $70usd because perhaps I did not do my due diligence and I take accountability but i wanted to let ppl know so they don’t waste their money like I did so be aware.

Mary Rose was very kind and flexible as we had cab issues and arrived 15 minutes late! She was very gracious. We were introduced to wonderful food and drink…ranging from fancy to street tacos and ended up in a sky bar. The tour was not at all rushed, and we all had a very enjoyable and tasty time! Mary Rose was a wealth of information and stories.

Mary Rose was on time at the place we were to meet. She anticipated what she thought I would enjoy and introduce me to some very special appetizers. She was right in her assessment and I would say that you can trust her taste buds. She knows the culture of haultuco community and she has a kind heart for people.

Tour guide was a no show. We waited over an hour but nobody came. Very disappointing and we are trying to get a refund

Tip Top Tacos offers an unconventional evening in the best possible sense—thoughtfully curated, flavour-driven, and full of contrast. The tour moves seamlessly from contemporary interpretations with refined execution to humble taco stands where simplicity and authenticity shine. Each stop feels intentional, highlighting the range and depth of taco culture without ever feeling repetitive or staged. Mary Rose is the catalyst that elevates the experience. Equally entertaining as the food is delicious, she blends sharp storytelling, local insight, and genuine hospitality to create an atmosphere that feels both personal and dynamic. The result is more than a food tour—it’s a memorable culinary experience that surprises, satisfies, and lingers well after the last bite.

Mary Rose was a knowledgable guide and took us to some hidden gems we never would’ve discovered on our own. I had such a wonderful time. I rebooked another tour for other family members to enjoy !

An amazing taco tour! Mary Rose curated fantastic restaurants with specialized menus and cocktails, and we learned so much about the local culture. We were completely stuffed by the end and even had to skip a couple stops. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the best tacos in town. Restaurants that we would never have known to try on our own.

Excellent food and drink. The grilled sushi 🍣 was amazing. So many offerings of tacos, couldn't believe how many there are. You have to arrive starving, there is so much tasty food and drink offered. Maryrose really knows the restaurant offerings in Huatulco.
