Overview

This tour from Soul Experiences Mexico is a three-hour lunch crawl built around two taco stops, a dessert stop and coffee. It starts at midday outside Silao restaurant on Avenida Petempich in Playa del Carmen, where the first plates of the day are carnitas tacos. The eating then shifts to fresh fish or seafood tacos at a second stop, so you get both the pork and the coastal side of Mexican street food in one afternoon.

Every stop comes with one complimentary drink, chosen from bottled water, a soft drink, the fresh fruit water of the day, or an ice-cold local beer. After the savoury part, you pick a dessert from a selection of freshly prepared Mexican treats and pastries. The final stop is a traditional Mexican café serving coffee from Oaxaca, with tea available as an alternative.

Transport between stops is in an air-conditioned vehicle, and each traveller gets a bottle of water on top of the drinks included with lunch. The group is capped at 12 travellers. It suits visitors who want a structured midday introduction to local food without planning anything themselves, and it returns to the same meeting point where it began.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points from the listing are worth knowing before you book this midday tour.

Getting there. Hotel pickup is not included, so you need to make your own way to the meeting point outside Silao restaurant on Avenida Petempich for 12:00. The listing notes it is near public transportation.
Midday start. The tour begins at 12:00 and runs for three hours, which places both taco stops and the dessert and coffee stops in the early afternoon. It works well as a late lunch.
Food and drink. Carnitas tacos, fish or seafood tacos, a dessert of your choice and a coffee or tea are all included, plus one drink per stop. Options include bottled water, a soft drink, fresh fruit water or a local beer. Gratuities for the guide are not included and are optional.
Group size. The tour has a maximum of 12 travellers, so expect a small group rather than a large coach outing. Transport between stops is in an air-conditioned vehicle. Infants must sit on laps.
Accessibility. The listing states the tour is wheelchair accessible and pushchair accessible, with wheelchair-accessible surfaces. It ends back at the same meeting point, so there is no separate return leg to arrange.

Common issues. There is no hotel pickup, which is the main logistical drawback if you are staying outside central Playa del Carmen. Gratuities for the guide are excluded and left to your discretion. Infants must sit on laps throughout, and the group can run up to 12 travellers, so it is not a fully private outing despite the small cap.
