Oaxaca Streets Food Tour with 14+ Tastings
Overview
Most visitors to Oaxaca never experience the city’s nighttime food scene when neighbourhood grills fire up, late-night vendors appear, and regional specialities take centre stage. This tour dives straight into the dishes locals actually eat after dark, far from restaurant dining rooms and tourist-focused menus.
With 14+ tastings across 7–8 authentic stops, you’ll sample everything from lechón tacos and oversized tlayudas to mole-filled tamales, tetelas, garnachas, and mezcal-soaked sweets. These are real neighbourhood spots, beloved by locals and largely unknown to travellers. It’s a flavour-packed, after-hours look at Oaxaca’s culinary identity, and the most authentic way to experience the city at night.
What's Included
- Bottled water and a mezcal included
- 14+ food tastings included, more than any other Oaxacan food tour

- Led by professional tastemaker guides
- Alcoholic drinks not listed in inclusions are excluded
- Pick up and drop off from hotel excluded
