Itinerario
Para empezar, los viajeros disfrutarán de un delicioso plato de fritada —carne de cerdo tierna y crujiente— servido con mote (homínido), yapingacho (panqueque de papa salada) y otros lados tradicionales. Esta fiesta se lleva a cabo en una verdadera joya escondida: una pequeña bodega local amada por los lugareños. Para complementar la comida, los huéspedes pueden elegir entre una variedad de jugos frescos y naturales hechos de frutas de fama mundial de Ecuador, como maracuyá (maracuyá), guanábana (guanaja) o naranjilla. ¡Esta es la manera perfecta de comenzar a descubrir los auténticos sabores de Quito!
En nuestra siguiente parada, los viajeros disfrutarán de una deliciosa empanada de su elección, ya sea morocho o verde (plátano verde). Una empanada de morocho está hecha de un maíz blanco andino especial, dándole una textura única y un sabor ligeramente dulce. Pueden personalizar su empanada con un relleno de queso, pollo o ternera, todo perfectamente crujiente por fuera y sabroso por dentro. Este sabroso bocado se combina con una taza del mejor café de Ecuador de Zaruma, conocido como uno de los mejores del mundo. Para aquellos que prefieren una opción sin cafeína, también ofrecemos un relajante té de hierbas aromáticas. ¡Un verdadero sabor de los ricos sabores de Ecuador!
A continuación, los viajeros disfrutarán del mejor sándwich de pernil del mundo, hecho con carne de cerdo tierna y cocinada a fuego lento, servido sobre pan recién horneado y maridado con su jugo de fruta ecuatoriano favorito. El bocadillo de pernil tiene una rica historia ligada a Quito, donde ha sido un plato querido por generaciones. Este sándwich salado es la manera perfecta de continuar explorando los auténticos sabores de Ecuador mientras aprende un poco sobre las tradiciones culinarias de la ciudad. ¡Una experiencia deliciosa!
Luego, tendrá una bebida reconocida por National Geographic como una de las mejores bebidas espirituosas exóticas: canelazo con naranjilla y canela. Esta bebida cálida y sabrosa combina el sabor picante de la querida fruta naranjilla de Ecuador con la rica especia de la canela. Tradicionalmente se hace con alcohol destilado de caña de azúcar, pero para aquellos que no beben, habrá otras opciones disponibles. Esta bebida es una visita obligada en Quito y una manera perfecta de sumergirse en la rica historia y la vibrante cultura de Ecuador mientras disfruta de una de sus bebidas más emblemáticas!
A continuación, daremos a los viajeros un gusto rápido del famoso dulce de Quito, conocido como "caca de perro" (un nombre peculiar que los lugareños usan, ¡aunque no tiene nada que ver con eso!). Esta querida golosina está hecha de rico chocolate, caramelo y nueces, creando un delicioso sabor que los lugareños no pueden obtener Basta. ¡Es una manera divertida y sabrosa de sumergirse en el lado peculiar de las tradiciones culinarias de Quito!
Para terminar este delicioso viaje, trataremos a los viajeros con una variedad de cacao y chocolate ecuatorianos, que ha sido galardonado como el mejor del mundo. El cacao de Ecuador es conocido por su rico sabor, y podrás probarlo en diferentes formas, como cacao con frutas exóticas o en diferentes concentraciones (desde rico cacao negro hasta chocolate con leche suave). También te serviremos chocolate con leche o chocolate con leche de almendras y un delicioso brownie hecho con cacao ecuatoriano. ¡Una verdadera "guinda del pastel" a tu aventura gastronómica ecuatoriana!

Delicious food, a very friendly guide, and a beautiful downtown made this a really enjoyable experience.
The food stops were what we expected, especially the chocolate tasting at the end. The guide gets an A for effort and his choice of stops. Unfortunately, his English fluency made conversations difficult many times.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food stops and especially the chocolate tasting. We’d also like to mention that your guide is a highly qualified local expert from Quito, born and raised in the city, with university studies in tourism, which allows him to offer an authentic and professional experience. We appreciate your comments about his English fluency and will continue improving our language training to ensure even better communication for future guests.
Maria Sol did a terrific job blending food, cultural and historical discussions. The food was really interesting and tasty and she catered to one of our groups vegetarian needs for the most part. We also had some good laughs. Finally, Maria left us with some good ideas on how to fill the rest of our day.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear Maria Sol did such a great job blending food, culture, and history, and that you enjoyed the tasting experience, the laughs, and her thoughtful recommendations for the rest of your day. It’s great to know she was able to accommodate your group’s needs as well! We’d also love to welcome you in another city. Just search on Viator: “City + Food Tour in Hidden Gems” and you’ll find us in Porto, Lisbon, Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan, Krakow, Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Mexico City, Cuenca, and Berlin.
As our first day in Quito we chose this tour to ease into the trip and better understand what we can expect. Wilson was our guide and communicated in advance of the tour starting in where to meet. He took great pride in not only sharing about the food we were eating (and delicious fruit drinks and coffee), but also places to visit in Quito and elsewhere in Ecuador. We were very fortunate to have a 1 on1 tour with him. The food was spectacular; fresh and delicious. Each stop provided a different experience. Highly recommend coming hungry because it is a lot of food. We ended up splitting a pernil sandwich at the last food stop. Topping it off was the cacao tasting. Some very unique cocoa combinations we’d never tried. Ended up buying nearly every flavor to take home with is. Overall, we highly rate this tour and would do it again.
We’re really glad to hear you chose this tour as your first experience in Quito and that it helped you settle into the trip. It’s great that Wilson could guide you so personally and share not only the local food and drinks, but also useful insights and recommendations for exploring Ecuador. The cacao tasting sounds like a real highlight, and we love that you enjoyed such a variety throughout the stops. We’d also love to welcome you in another city.

We had a great time with Wilson eating delicious food and getting to know Old Town. It was very helpful as the first thing we did in Quito so we could get further recommendations of what to do and see on our trip.
Our tour guide, Wilson, was very personable and knowledgeable. If you have the opportunity to do this gastronomic city tour, DO IT! Wilson took us around the history center and we had extensive conversations about the culture and history of Quito, all while enjoying delicious traditional Ecuadorian food! As a huge plus, Wilson was very prepared during the tour, as we unknowingly booked our tour during Quito’s carnaval. Long story short, the locals spray foam and coloring dyes to each other on the main plazas and streets. While mostly leaving tourist alone, we got some foam sprayed on our clothes but Wilson came to the rescue with cleaning wipes! THANK YOU Wilson for everything! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour with Wilson, the delicious food, and the fun of Quito’s Carnaval. If you travel again, you can also join our tours in Lisbon, Porto, Madrid, Milan, Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam, Krakow and Warsaw, as well as Cuenca and Mexico City. Just search on Viator for “City Food Tour Hidden Gems” in any of these cities and you’ll find us. We’d love to host you again!
The tour was wonderful, the food spectacular, the barbecue, the chocolate, and the empanadas was delicious. The tour is special as the center of Quito is fantastic.
The tour was great! There was a good variety of foods and the tour guide was sweet. She is very knowledgeable of the area and provides good insight.
We had a great time on the food tour! It was also basically a walking tour of the city with our guide showing us all sorts of interesting historical sites along with great food and drinks!
Thank you so much! We're happy you enjoyed the food, drinks, and hidden history of Quito.
