What to expect
Mazatlan’s center is buzzing with activity at all times of the day. It’s the place where locals go to get their groceries and fresh produce. Steeped in culture, you will learn all about this amazing neighborhood and its beginnings (there was once a bullfight ring!). Spend a morning meandering the Mercado and surrounding streets, satisfying your curiosity and appetite. The Flavor Teller loves to share their own Mazatlan stories, while you eat, drink and meet new friends. This guided walk is all about getting to know the neighborhood (and its local people) through food.
Get the scoop on Mazatlan’s multicultural spirit at downtown’s favorite meeting place. Visit the market's fruit, vegetables and dried chile stands. You'll try some typical delicacies on the way – smoked marlin and a variety of Mexican cheeses. Discover the other side of Mazatlan’s market and find out how Mexican families cure their ailments. Taste Mazatlan’s typical tostadas, at a family-run diner that has been in business for three decades and enjoy an authentic ‘torta’ (grilled sandwich roll), washed down with a local soda. We finish the tour enjoying a variety of traditional Mexican ice creams.

Wow! We have taken a lot of tours all around the world, and Maaike's Flavor Teller Tours are the best! We did the 'Mercado and More' tour once before COVID in 2020 with friends; and last week my wife and I did the same tour again with my daughter and her boyfriend. We loved it! We learn so much about the culture and history of this amazing city, and the FOOD! This tour is not to be missed, if you want to learn about wonderful Mazatlan and some amazing local food venders. Maaike is knowledgable, articulate, and fun! We also, took the new 'Mazatlan Night Eats' tour. Mazatlan is a different and wonderful world at night. We ate at some amazing places with welcoming and friendly locals. A local, older man came up to me in a Taqueria and asked for my autograph, because he thought I was Kenny Rogers! It was a memorable night of fantastic food and fun. The night was topped off with a mezcal tasting at a hot new night spot in Old Town. We are looking forward to our next Flavor Teller tour! From Daniel, Victoria, Maria, and Jim of Minnesota, Buen Provecho, Maaike!
