Taste local favorites and discover Tex-Mex history on a private San Antonio food tour through downtown and its landmark-lined streets.

About this tour

Explore San Antonio through its family-run food spots, historic streets, and distinctive Tex-Mex flavors on this private food tour. Over three hours, a local guide leads you through downtown, where you can sample handmade specialties and see where locals eat, away from chain restaurants and tourist traps.

Taste a selection of dishes that may include San Antonio's best burger, smoked turkey, a barbacoa or carne guisada taco, homemade sorbet or gelato, and a signature secret dish. Along the way, learn what Tex-Mex means in the city where it originated and pass landmarks such as San Fernando Cathedral, the River Walk, and the Alamo. The itinerary and menu can vary with venue availability, weather, and other circumstances, so contact the provider ahead of time with dietary requirements.

Because this is a private experience, the outing offers a more intimate way to explore at your own pace. Meet in front of the former San Antonio Children's Museum on Produce Row, wear comfortable walking shoes, and come hungry for a flavorful introduction to San Antonio. Book your San Antonio private food tour to discover the city's local tastes and stories firsthand.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 12 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Antonio
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 19% in San Antonio means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in San Antonio by this score.
