Guadalajara Local Food and Market Tour

Guadalajara Local Food and Market Tour

According to UNESCO: "Traditional Mexican cuisine is a comprehensive cultural model comprising farming, ritual practices, age-old skills, culinary techniques and ancestral community customs and manners". Guadalajara's traditional cuisine rightfully represents such vibrant, diverse, and lovingly preserved cultural heritage comprised of handcrafted recipes passed down for generations. More recently, a thriving local restaurant industry lead by talented young chefs is revitalizing Guadalajara's culinary identity by creatively reconstructing the most traditional dishes using modern techniques. As part of this tour, you will get a taste of both the traditional and the contemporary in carefully selected restaurants and markets. This experience is ideal for second time visitors or those interested in going beyond the standard tourist trails in order to explore the local culture of Guadalajara.

* Vegan and vegetarian restaurants and dishes are also readily available.
