Tijuana Craft Beer + Street Tacos Tasting Tour

  • Departing from our designated border meeting point San Ysidro, California (map)

TASTE FROM THE BEST OF MEXICO'S CRAFT BREWERIES & STREET TACOS ON THIS GUIDED TOUR!

Craft beer nerds in-the-know are proclaiming Tijuana the capital of Mexican craft brewing. And since only a few of these innovative craft beers have crossed North, you'll need to dust off your passport to join our curated and guided tour of Latin America's fastest growing craft beer movement.

Balancing your intake of Mexico's high-octane craft beer, we'll introduce you to some of the most famous street-style taco stands in Tijuana. From classic carne asada, to Guadalajaran-style "birria", to the hand-carved "al pastor" pork taco, and perhaps a crispy fish taco for good measure, we'll stave off your hunger pains with the best-of-the-best street tacos in Tijuana.
