Culture, History, and Culinary Delights: A Must-Do Taco and Cocktail Tour in Puerto Vallarta
Jared_C, Apr 2024
Exploring the essence of Puerto Vallarta through its dynamic culinary scene was a highlight of our journey, all thanks to an excellent taco and cocktail tour that came highly recommended. On our first visit to Puerto Vallarta, this experience added a special touch. Gathering at the central and convenient Lazaro Cardenas Park gazebo, we met our guide, Luis, whose enthusiasm and expertise in Mexican culture and the intricate world of agave spirits were enthralling. Each stop along the tour offered a new delight with tacos and cocktails that delighted our palates, making us anticipate the next taste. Luis's stories about Tequila, Mezcal, Raicilla, and Pulque greatly expanded our knowledge beyond expectations. By the conclusion of the tour, we felt not just satiated but enriched by the profound cultural and gastronomic encounters. This tour is a definitive must for anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta—my fiancé and I are already looking forward to our next experience.
Don't just take a taco tour, take this tour - it's totally worth it!!!
Rod_K, Apr 2024
This was our first trip to Puerto Vallarta and booking a food and mixology tour was the perfect way to sample a variety of local food and drinks. We weren't disappointed as Edgar our tour guide was excellent - he shared much about his mexican heritage and the culture of mexican food and tequila. Great tour guide and we highly recommend this as it includes both food and authentic mexican alcohol.
Geo was great!

Geo was very knowledgable and welcomed questions beyond the food tour. Food was amazing and the education behind the Tequila history.

The shrimp tacos from decanto. Revisited the next day and spoke with the owner who also told me about their other location, Vallarta factory which ultimately made me find the flea market. All in all, memorable time with Gio our guide
