    Of the 8 days we spent in Querétaro, the half day we spent with David was the absolute best. Start your trip right and begin with this tour. David went above and beyond taking us to many (6 or more?) restaurants where we learned historical facts that added to the cultural depth of our experience. Then there was the food. One restaurant served mole chicken tamales that as I write this still make my mouth water and that was 3 weeks ago! They also serve roasted grasshoppers which my husband is still talking about, but I, ahem, avoided. There were so many rich, historic stops along our walk (which was very mild, by the way) I cannot remember them all. What stands out to me as the most glorious of our whole trip was El Mercado "La Cruz" where we squeezed into a narrow ledge amongst fresh flowers and mountains of mangos (the air smells of nectar), to eat the ABSOLUTE BEST TACOS IN THE WORLD. Okay. I exaggerate, but test me. Try Chamorro Tacos (beef shank) and then ladle on some pico and lime. Perfection. DAVID Herrera speaks great English. Our Spanish is passible but atrocious. I hope we didn't offend anyone. WhatsAp him at +52 442 321 0879.

    Fantastic tour of the local food scene! Edgar was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and with a great sense of humour. We loved the insider tour of the Mercado, and it was delightful to stroll around Queretaro’s streets in between locations. Highly recommend for a window into Queretaro’s food traditions.
