Discovering the authenticity of Puerto Vallarta has become even more delicious with the launch of the Taste of Pitillal Gastronomic Tour by Vallarta Food Tours, a very popular company in the area.

Founded in 2011 by Lindsay Prime Mayer, a gastronomy expert and American resident of Puerto Vallarta, Vallarta Food Tours aims for visitors to “eat, explore, and experience” the local and traditional cuisine of the city. Promising to become a local in just 3 hours.

This tour has quickly become a must-do experience for visitors, combining secret restaurants with a guided tour of the historical sights of Puerto Vallarta. It has recently been expanded to include a second tour that explores the Pitillal neighborhood, an off-the-beaten-path gem in the heart of a traditional Mexican area, just minutes away from the hotel zone of Puerto Vallarta.

During the tour, participants have the opportunity to taste and experience delicious regional cuisine, such as carnitas, slow-cooked stews, tamales, and Mexican frozen treats, while learning about the local culture and traditions, as well as the history and folklore of the area. With groups limited to a maximum of 8 people, the experience promises to be personal and intimate, with fully bilingual guides offering an authentic insight into Mexican everyday life.

Whether for tourists seeking a enriching culinary and cultural experience, or for curious residents looking to explore the Pitillal area, the Taste of Pitillal Food Tour by Vallarta Food Tours offers a tasty and educational adventure.
