Playa del Carmen
I built this list around one rule: the best food in Playa lives a few blocks off Fifth Avenue. Good tours skip the tourist strip for taquerias and market stalls a short walk inland. Book the evening slot; that’s when the pastor trompos spin and the locals come out.
Experience the flavors of Playa Del Carmen on a walking food tour! Discover local cuisine, visit hidden gems, and indulge in delicious dishes with an expert guide.
