Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about Mazatlan or Flavor Teller food tours? We can help. Below, you'll find the most commonly asked questions that we hear from our customers and their accompanying answers.
Is the street food spicy?
No, don't worry! All of the food vendors we visit have spicy salsas on the side, but you can choose to add or avoid it. We take great care to ensure every stop is clean, reputable, and safe for travelers of all ages.

I’ve been to Mazatlán before. Will this still be interesting?
Absolutely. Even repeat visitors discover places and flavors they’ve never found on their own. Our tours go beyond sightseeing and offer deep cultural insights that bring Mazatlán’s history, neighborhoods, and food to life.
Will the tour fit into my cruise schedule?
Absolutely. Our tours are designed to work seamlessly with cruise port times. We’re a 5–10 minute taxi ride from the cruise ship docks and ensure you’ll return well before your all-aboard deadline.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
No problem. We can accommodate many dietary needs including vegetarian, gluten-free, and mild spice preferences. Just let us know when booking so we can personalize your experience.
How much walking is involved?
The Mercado & More tour and Mexican Kitchen Experience involve moderate walking (approx. 1–1.5 miles) at a relaxed pace with frequent stops and seating. If you have mobility concerns, we recommend the Barrio Bites, Seafood Secrets, Night Eats or Flavors of Mexico tours, which include transportation in a traditional Auriga pick-up taxi between stops.
What should I bring on the tour?
Bring your appetite, comfortable walking shoes and cash Mexican pesos if you want to buy souvenirs or leave a tip. We provide water, hand sanitizer, and everything else you need to enjoy the journey.
How big are your groups?
We keep groups small—usually 2 to 8 people—to ensure a more personal experience. This allows for you to ask questions and to connect to the family-run eateries that we visit.
Why choose Flavor Teller over other Mazatlán food tours?
Our team lives here, eats here, and loves sharing the soul of Mazatlán through food. We don’t just show you where to eat—we connect you to the people, stories, and traditions that make this city unforgettable.
