OAXACA WALKING FOOD TOUR

Experience Oaxaca the way locals do—one bite, one market, and one story at a time.

Join us for an unforgettable walking food tour through the heart of Oaxaca City. Rather than simply tasting Oaxacan food, you’ll discover the ingredients, traditions, markets, and people that make Oaxaca one of Mexico’s most celebrated culinary destinations.

We begin at 9:30 AM at Café Brújula in downtown Oaxaca, where the group meets before setting off on our culinary adventure.

From there, we’ll visit our famous Tacos del Carmen , then Rito Chocolatería to discover Oaxacan chocolate before heading into the incredible Mercado de Abastos, Oaxaca’s largest and most vibrant market. We’ll walk through its different sections while learning about local produce, fruits, chiles, spices, and ingredients that are essential to Oaxacan cooking.

And, of course, we’ll eat along the way.

Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy a variety of local specialties that may include goat barbacoa, traditional fried snacks, memelas, mole empanadas, fresh coconut water, agua miel, pulque, and tepache, among other seasonal discoveries.

We’ll then visit Jardín Sócrates to enjoy traditional Oaxacan nieves, handmade with fresh local and seasonal ingredients.

Our experience concludes at The Wine Room, where we explore a selection of spirits and beverages produced in Mexico—including wine, vermouth, corn whiskey, vodka, gin, beer and, naturally, mezcal.

What’s Included

The experience runs from approximately 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM and includes up to 10 food and drink stops, all food tastings and samples, beverages including alcoholic drinks, and gratuities for the people we visit along the way.

We’ll walk approximately 3 miles (5 km) through Oaxaca, so come comfortable, curious, and hungry.

This isn’t just a food tour—it’s an introduction to Oaxaca through its markets, flavors, traditions, and people.

Come hungry. Leave with a deeper understanding of Oaxaca.
