About Mexico Foodie Tours
Mexico Foodie Tours was born from a deep passion for Mexican culture, gastronomy, and the people who preserve its traditions every day.
We believe that food is the most powerful gateway to understanding a culture. Through every dish, every market visit, and every shared table, we invite travelers to discover the true soul of Mexico — beyond the tourist routes and into the heart of local communities.
Our experiences are designed for curious travelers who seek authenticity, meaningful encounters, and unforgettable flavors.
Our Story
Mexico Foodie Tours was founded by Marisol Thalia Echeverría Rios, a tourism expert and social entrepreneur with more than 15 years of experience creating community-based and culturally responsible travel experiences in Latin America.
After founding Panama San Blas Tours — a recognized social-impact tour operator working hand-in-hand with indigenous communities — Marisol brought the same philosophy to Mexico:
to create a tourism model that honors tradition, empowers local talent, and protects cultural heritage.
Mexico, with its extraordinary culinary diversity and ancestral knowledge, became the perfect place to continue building bridges between travelers and living traditions.
Our Philosophy
At Mexico Foodie Tours, we believe that:
That is why our tours are not simple tastings — they are cultural journeys guided by chefs, traditional cooks, historians, farmers, and artisans who proudly share their stories and knowledge.
We specialize in high-end, immersive culinary and cultural experiences across Mexico, including:
All our tours are designed in small groups or private formats to ensure personalized attention, comfort, and authentic interaction.
