Bucerias Taco Tour

Our guide, Brenda, was excellent. A nice variety of restaurants, and a great way to sample different taco opportunities in Bucerias. The ambience of the restaurants varied from very nice to unpleasant (whether it was on the beach or on the noisy highway), but all of the sampling was delicious. We walked a bit more than a mile total, and some of the walking might be difficult for some people due to uneven surfaces. There is a lot to eat! Go hungry!

My husband suggested this tour as I'm a foodie and we've visited Bucerias a couple of times in prior visits to the area but this tour got us more into the heart of this small town and we got to know the place a little better with this evening adventure. We started by meeting the group and guide at Karen's Place - one of the most well known and loved restaurants in Bucerias and we got to meet Karen herself who is friendly and very nice. We were with another couple and enjoyed the small group which made it easier to talk to each other and to Brenda. We started with a fish taco/mahi mahi at Karen's and then went to La Negra for pork belly tacos and then to a very small place for shrimp tacos Ensanada style. I don't remember the name of this place but it's super small and family owned. We also visited Tacos Junior for al pastor, and another place whose name I didn't catch for a beef cheek taco, and then to another place whose name I didn't catch for a carne asada taco and then we finished at a churro stand in the center plaza. I didn't have a churro but my husband did and said it was delicious. We both enjoyed all of the tacos - some more than others - and the walking from place to place in and out of little cobblestone streets and neighborhoods was interesting as well. Brenda was helpful in telling us about the various salsas and condiments at each stop as well - what was milder and what was spicier. I also appreciated how the food itself was simple - any condiments added to enhance the flavor is up to each person. I'm glad there was walking in between each stop - it gave the chance to see more of Bucerias with someone who knows her way around the area and Brenda told us interesting stories about the town itself and about the families who own each taco place, and their background stories. It was fun chatting with Brenda and talking about Mexico culture and her background story as well. The whole experience was really fun and again having such a small group was a treat as well. Such a nice evening and very enjoyable. Highly recommend.

It was pouring rain so our guide, Becky, let us postpone to the following day. So glad we did that! It's a lot of food. Possibly consider lowering the price and reducing the stops. We didn't eat 3 of our tacos! They were very tasty. I think the churos at the end were awesome!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided some historical information about Bucerias, the places we visited and of course the tacos!

Brenda was awesome! We had a variety of tacos at 6 different places and got to see a couple different parts of town. The food was great, Brenda was engaging and informative. We had a blast and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get a good feel for Bucerias and eat some great food!
