What To Expect

El Parque de las Palapas

Our Start:We kick off our journey at Parque de las Palapas, where your cheerful tour guide will be waiting on the left side of the main stage, right in front of the OXXO store—ready to lead you into the heart of Cancun’s street food scene.Our first delicious stop? Esquites, Mexico’s beloved street corn in a cup. This isn’t your average corn snack—it’s cooked fresh with fragrant epazote, served warm with a spoonful of mayo, a sprinkle of salty cheese, a splash of lime, and your choice of chili powder—from mild to "I-need-a-hug" spicy. Each bite is creamy, tangy, and packed with street flavor, just like you’d get from a classic esquites cart in any Mexican neighborhood.It’s the perfect welcome snack to kick off a night full of tacos, laughs, and unforgettable flavors.

Yucatecan “Tacos”Time to dive deeper into flavor! Our second stop brings you a classic from the Yucatán Peninsula: the salbute—a delicious puffed corn tortilla topped with vibrant ingredients. While often (incorrectly) called a "Yucatecan taco," this dish is in a league of its own.The house favorite? Cochinita pibil—slow-roasted pork marinated in achiote and citrus, bursting with flavor and tradition. Prefer chicken or a vegetarian option? No problem—we’ve got you. Whichever you choose, expect something juicy, tender, and soaked in Yucatecan soul.Grab a bite, add some pickled red onions, maybe a dash of habanero if you’re brave, and taste history in every mouthful.

Cancun

Carnivore's ParadiseCalling all meat lovers—this is where things get juicy.The star of the show? Suadero tacos—slow-cooked brisket, Mexican style. The meat bathes for hours in a rich mix of beef and pork lard until it’s fall-apart tender and full of flavor. When it's ready, it comes out glistening, wrapped in a tortilla like a towel straight out of the sauna—boom, straight to your plate.Not into suadero? No worries. There’s spicy chorizo sizzling on the grill, and for the bold, the legendary crunchy tripe tacos—or as one wise eater put it: crispy bacon with a Mexican soul.And yes, we've got our vegetarian friends covered too—with a cheese quesadilla, warm, melty, and just as satisfying.
