I just left Cancun, Mexico visiting the Dreams Natura Resort & Spa. A part of my experience included a five-hour Taco Tour to restaurants that served some of the best tacos in Cancun. It’s something I’ve never done and really didn’t know what to expect.
It was fabulous, thanks in part to our transportation provider, Amstar. They are the ‘go-to’ at Dreams Resorts when it comes to getting you to and from the airport and when you want to venture out. They took our group to four fabulous Mexican restaurants in the and around the city. Most locals agree they make some of the best authentic Mexican tacos around.
All were uniquely designed and with their own spin on a taco. However, what they all had in common was the authenticity in preparation and taste of the taco. There were some with added flare in the sauce, while others were accented by a unique beverage like rice water.
No matter your fancy, I learned there’s nothing quite like an ‘authentically-made’ taco from the people who know it best. Once you indulge, the American way of tacos will never be good enough.

These tacos called Cochinita pibil are made using a unique technique. In fact, it’s name means “on the ground.”
Carnes de la Torre
This number contains beef marinated in Coca-Cola for three – five hours. It’s called ‘Coapenito’ taco. And if you can stomach the combination, it was served with a rice water drink.
La Parrilla
This was our final stop for authentic Mexican cuisine. And the ‘Taco Al pastor’ is considered to be the most popular of tacos in the city.
