Puerto Vallarta – Vallarta Food Tours debuts an original, one-of-a-kind Pitillal food tasting and historical experience. Vallarta Food Tours (VFT) has crafted the unexpectedly eye-opening and expectation-exceeding Taste of Pitillal Tour. In this tour, Vallarta Food Tours uncovers life in a typical Mexican town. Celebrating the food and culture of vibrant, colorful Pitillal, VFT’s guided walking tours explore Mexico’s sophisticated flavors and vast spectrum of regional cooking styles in a town untouched by tourism. The focus is on family-owned businesses where true artistry is paramount and things are still made by hand. The Taste of Pitillal Food and Cultural Tour allows guests to experience the life as a local – strolling the streets and beautiful square while learning about the history and sights of Pitillal, Vallarta’s most undiscovered food destination.
Co-owner Lindsay Prime’s commitment to increasing exposure to Mexico’s authentic, local eateries is evident in VFT’s well-thought out tour stops. “People often ask about Pitillal, but are at a loss of where to begin.” Lindsay enthusiastically says, “We did the homework for you. We found all the best foods Pitillal has to offer. Even better, all dishes are served with a side of history and culture!”
VFT’s Taste of Pitillal tour (pronounced “pee-tee-yall), visits nine authentic tasting locations in the quintessentially Mexican Pitillal community, including:
· Carnitas tacos, still made fresh each morning by Neto himself
· Churros, a Mexican favorite snack, hot off the press
· What a Mexican Charro must always use
· Tamales from Pitillal’s most famous tamal making family, delicious atole made from scratch
· What is a “pitillal”
