San Francisco walking tasting tour with Secret Food Tours

Overview

On our Secret Food Tour: San Francisco, the Mission District, you'll see how immigrants shaped the neighborhood by creating brilliant artwork, beautiful architecture and sharing their fantastic food! Originally home to Irish, German, and Italian immigrants, it is now the epicenter of San Francisco's Latino culture.

The Mission District is full of vibrant murals that offer a visual history lesson featuring themes ranging from cultural heritage to social-political statements. We will take a stroll through the neighborhood to get an up-close experience.

Our tours are more than just the food. Our local guides connect the dots between history, culture, and cuisine to provide you with a deep understanding of the Mission District's thriving culinary scene!

My husband, brother in law, and myself went on the Secret Food Tour and it was amazing! Our tour guide, Mateo, was great and made the tour so much better. He is a native to The Mission District so his knowledge, history, and stories were perfect! I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see different areas of the city that you probably would not other wise see. We ate amazing food at every stop and got to see amazing local art and graffiti. Great Tour!!

My husband and I had a wonderful time, and our tour guide, Mateo, was great! He is a native San Franciscan and really knew The Mission District. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to know more about the city while sampling the local fare. My only regret is that we did this at the end of our trip instead of the beginning because Mateo shared plenty of tips, tricks and ideas that we could have used. Our guide was the perfect blend of giving us the history and stories of the neighborhood while allowing us to soak in our surroundings (I have been on several tours where the guide talked from the first step to the last step without giving anyone a chance to ask questions or even admire the area we were in). We started out at a local landmark with a burrito and it did not disappoint. We finished with ice cream from a local favorite, which we ate while strolling through Mission Dolores Park. In between, we sampled so much other tasty food that I could not eat it all. From Filipino Spring Rolls to Vietnamese Bánh mì and more, we felt that we had a good sampling of the food of the neighborhood. If we are ever back to SF, we will take this tour again, and will definitely take the tours they offer in other areas.

Our food tour began with the best burrito at...well, you’ll have to go on the tour to find out🤣 Same for the rest of the food! Delicious!! Mateo was a fabulous guide. Local, knowledgeable, down to earth and very friendly! We were full, happy and tired by the end of the tour. Bring your walking shoes to enjoy the final trek😉
