Discovering the most authentic side of Puerto Vallarta has become even more delicious with the launch of the Taste of Pitillal Food Tour, offered by the renowned company Vallarta Food Tours.

Founded in 2011 by Lindsay Prime Mayer, an expert in gastronomy and American resident in Puerto Vallarta, Vallarta Food Tours has become the ideal choice for those who want to explore, experience, and taste the local and traditional cuisine of the city. Visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and feel like a local in just 3 hours.

The tour has become a must-do activity in the city, combining visits to secret restaurants with a guided tour of the sights and history of Puerto Vallarta. Recently, a second tour has been added to explore the Pitillal neighborhood, a tourist area off the beaten path and at the heart of authentic Mexican tradition, just minutes away from the hotel zone of Puerto Vallarta.

During the tour, participants have the opportunity to taste and experience delicious regional cuisine, including carnitas, traditional stews, tamales, and Mexican frozen treats. All while learning more about Mexican culture and traditions, as well as religious, historical landmarks, and local folklore. Groups are small, with a maximum of 8 people, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience. In addition, the guides are fully bilingual and offer an authentic insight into Mexican daily life.

So, whether you are looking to enjoy a unique culinary and cultural experience as a tourist, a newcomer to Puerto Vallarta, or a curious resident eager to discover Pitillal, the Taste of Pitillal Food Tour by Vallarta Food Tours promises to be an educational and delicious adventure.
