Explore Quito after dark on a 4-hour food tour from the historic centre to the La Floresta area, with 14+ tastings along the way. Led by a local tastemaker guide, this experience focuses on the street food and neighbourhood eateries where locals eat in the evening. Start in the old town with snacks like cevichocho before moving into heartier dishes such as encebollado and different styles of fritada. As the tour continues, you’ll explore corn-based staples like tigrillo, humita, and empanadas made from morocho and green plantain, alongside street favourites like toasted corn with chicharrón and pan de maíz. In La Floresta, the focus shifts to Quito’s evening street markets with grilled meats, traditional dishes like caucara completa. There’s drinks too. Along the way, try traditional refreshers like chicha de jora and colada morada. This isn’t about fine dining, it’s an authentic look at the Quito food scene through the eyes of a local.

The tour concludes after 3.5-4 hours. You'll leave not only full, but with a much deeper understanding of Quito’s food culture and the confidence to continue eating your way through Ecuador.
