On our final full day in Mexico we headed to downtown Tulum for a taco tour. It was AMAZING! We all agreed that it was definitely in the top foodie experiences we've ever had.
1st stop: Taqueria Maya
It was really interesting to see how they made the tortillas and grilled the meat.
I tried a deer taco for the first time and drank lime juice with chia seeds. The other taco was lechón.
Stop #2: We perused a local market
Stop #3: Taqueria Honorio - it's the most popular place to eat in Tulum for a reason!
This started as a cart on the side of the street and has grown to this. This place is famous for its Cochinito pipil (suckling pig cooked in the ground wrapped in banana leaves). We tried it both as a taco and a quesadilla. I've never had a quesadilla before this and WOW. I don't know if I can go back to what we eat in the states. We also had horchata.
The black tacos are a specialty for Day of the Dead.
Stop #4:
Tamales Don Taco Matriz
We got to back into the kitchen and watch them make the tomales. These tomales are made with achiote sauce and wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn husks, so they are particularly moist. So good!
They make almost 300 tomales a day!
Stop #4: El Rincón Tabasqueno
We tried mole enchildadas. Holy cow! I've never had mole like that before. So good!
We walked through the town square to get to our last stop.

Stop 6: We ended with
Panna e Cioccolato. Holy Moly! This gelato was SO good! I got dulce de leche and marzipan.
We had such an amazing experience, but it was a bit more crowded in the taxi on the way back to the resort after eating so much.
