Overview

This is an evening taco walk through Playa del Carmen, run by City Art Tours and capped at ten travellers. It starts at 18:00 outside Coco Bongo on Calle 12 Norte, at the corner of Avenida 10 Norte, where the guide waits holding a City Art Tours Mexico sign. The whole thing runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes and finishes back where it began.

Two drinks are poured as well, one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic. Reviewers describe the tacos as a highlight and one couple was surprised by the final stop, a marquesita made by hand in front of them, filled with Nutella and strawberry.

The walk suits most travellers and one reviewer noted it does not involve too much walking. One reviewer also valued the history of the area the guide shared, which added to the experience. It does not work for vegans or vegetarians, and other allergies or aversions should be raised with the operator, since required substitutions must be indicated at the time of ticket purchase.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will shape whether this walk fits your plans, from the fixed evening start to the food restrictions.

Evening timing. The tour starts at 18:00 and runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Plan dinner around it rather than before it, since the listing recommends arriving ready for a complete meal.
Walking pace. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended by the listing. One reviewer said there was not too much walking.
Group feel. The group is limited to a maximum of ten travellers. One couple found themselves the only people booked that evening, so the size can feel very personal.
Food limits. Vegans and vegetarians cannot be accommodated. Other allergies or aversions should be raised in advance at ticket purchase, since required substitutions must be flagged then and some may carry an extra cost.
Getting there. Hotel pickup is not part of this tour, so travellers make their own way to the meeting point outside Coco Bongo. The spot sits near public transportation, and strollers are fine on the route.
Bring cash. Gratuities and any extra food or drinks beyond the included tastings are not covered. Bring something extra if you want to tip the guide or buy more along the way.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are. Vegans and vegetarians cannot be catered for at all, and other dietary needs must be declared at the time of booking, with some substitutions possibly costing more. No hotel pickup or transport to the meeting point is provided. Group size is capped at ten, but one couple ended up effectively alone.
