About this experience
Los Angeles is known for its incredible foodie scene. Tacos are a local staple of Angeleno's diets. You can find tacos everywhere, but if you want to find the secret, locals only stand out tacos, come ride with us. Starting out at LA's historic food hall, Grand Central Market, with so many choices you'll want a guide to show you the best stalls to visit. We've curated the rest of our taco cruise to highlight a variety of the best tacos downtown LA has to offer; from Michelin starred chefs, to street stand, off the beaten path taqueros, we'll try as many as we can before you're full. Riding bikes while chasing tacos enables us to bypass the traffic, and seek out the hidden local treasures and pathways only accessible by bike.

Itinerary and highlights
On our Taco Bike Cruise we visit 3 taco spots with uniquely different takes on the Taco. Crunchy tacos, gourmet tacos, street tacos and braised tacos are on the menu on this 3 hour bike food tour that incorporates a little of our Historic Core Tour and a little of our Arts District Tour. Your guide will order for you at most stops, but at our street taco vendor we’ll give suggestions and you get the LA experience of ordering yourself from the Taquero, and topping off with homemade salsas. All tacos are included in the tour price (6-12 tacos), and you will be full by the time we return round trip to Grand Central Market. Chasing tacos on a bike is the most unique food tour experience in L.A.
Due to the nature of traditional taco stand cooking, we do not recommend this tour for strict vegetarians (your vegetarian option may come in contact with meat based dishes). We can not accommodate Vegan dietary restrictions.
