Don't miss this experience!
Come hungry! Carlos guided us expertly through so many different places and types of food, always sharing his knowledge of the food, the people, and some of the history of Oaxaca. Stand out favorites include the tamales with mole negro, street tacos, and corazon de Cacao!

Excellent food tour and walk around town
Highly recommend this food tour of Oaxaca! Carlos has lived here most of his life and has terrific recommendations for food that is a bit off the beaten tourist path. Small, authentic mercados. Interesting and delicious food stands and restaurants. And Carlos is a wealth of information on Oaxaca itself. Plus, he's fun to walk around with in the city. Don't miss this tour - it was the perfect introduction to Oaxaca on our first day in town.

A Lovely Walk with Lots to Eat!
Carlos was the best. A dedicated foodie who walked us through our neighborhood in Oaxaca stopping at a taco stand, a beautiful market for tamales (the best ever), a small restaurant for quesadillas (ditto), another taco stand, and an organic market. A wonderful, and satiating, morning of Oaxaca’s best food. Thanks to Carlos who takes his guests only to places he eats at.
