Explore authentic cruise-port experiences, review tour conditions, and request a reservation. Supplier confirmation is required.
Experience overview
Tour the first tortilla factory in the city, dine at a renowned and remarkable tamale kitchen, and immerse yourself in a bustling, colorful three-story Latin American mercado brimming with curio shops, food stands, and mariachi showrooms. On this small LA foodie tour, group size is limited to 12 people, which facilitates interaction amongst guests, the guide, and hosts at tasting locations. Head to Mariachi Plaza, where you will feast upon birria, healthy pupusas, and Mexican-style pastries. Tastings on the tour include foods perhaps typically expected, yet all extraordinarily prepared from time-honored family recipes. There will be occasions to shop, so guests are encouraged to bring along insulated bags to fill with foodie purchases along the way. Your local, friendly, and knowledgeable tour guide will keep everyone on the tour engaged between stops, even during the short, comfortable train rides, with stories and anecdotes of East L.A. and Boyle Height's colorful and surprising history, and of local customs and traditions celebrated by this beautiful Latin-American community. Don't overlook East Los Angeles during your next trip to the City of Angels. Book this tour to discover one of the city's most vibrant communities and eat some delicious food. Just make sure to come hungry.
