Taco Ride: Discover the World's Best Fish Tacos by Bike

Just Wow!!!

I am not an athletic person but my husband is so I booked this taco tour mainly for him. I will say it was great! Xavier & Elizabeth were awesome! First let’s talk about the bikes, I was thinking they were going to be like beach cruisers where my bum was going to hurt. Nope these were quality mountain bikes with great suspension. Next let’s talk about the tacos…. Mind blowing good!! The first stop we had a combo of pork & beef…. Omg it was good but that second stop the fish and shrimp taco was beyond words!!! I will have dreams of it I already know! Third stop was a fish taco, this place was so packed! You could tell these tacos were going to be the bomb! I was full from the first 2 tacos so I just took a bite of my husband’s third taco. After that we went on a mini tour of the area. I seriously thought this was out of my caliber due to my exercise level but I kept up and had so much fun. My husband had lots of fun as well. Seriously. Xavier & Elizabeth were the best! Well worth the money and the BEST tacos ever!!

A tour that is completely safe for cyclists.

The tour was perfect. I was really surprised by how respectful the people in Ensenada are toward others and cyclists; at every corner or street, drivers would stop to let us pass or follow behind us, almost as if looking out for our safety. The tacos were incredibly delicious—the one I liked best was from Marco Antonio, and his place is wonderful: very authentic and free of tourists, with just my family and me there.

Great Tour!

Tour booked for twelve high school graduates. Coordination and communication with Lizette was easy. A nice tour of the cultural center in Ensenada began the tour. My son asked me to leave a review after the tour because they learned so much interesting local history and enjoyed their day with Astrid and Xavier. Great food, not overly strenuous bike ride, flat roads and more food than they could eat. Highly recommend! Thank you MexGeo!

They are not liars, just not transparent.

I find their instructions on meeting at their location so vague when you order the excursion, that it's almost on purpose. One is led to believe it is at, or extremely near, the cruise ship terminal where you get off your cruise ship. Not so. I found this out too late. It is a 15 minute walk/over a 1/2 mile with no signs in Spanish or English. I walked for about 10 minutes, realizing I had no idea where I should continue to go. I asked a few workers around the cruise terminal and further out (with a fluent Spanish speaking friend) and all said they had never heard of the excursion. None of them, and we asked 3. Granted, the host tried calling me later, but my international calling feature was down and I was unable to make or receive calls that afternoon. But what upsets me is that they claim that a security guard at the "Terminal de Cruseros" told them I had come too early and left! Not true. I never made it there and no "made up" security guard told them that. It would have been impossible. Then they later sent me a animated map of where things should have been in relation to ship and excursion. That came way too late, trying to make their case. Once again, no international calling on my end. Look, all I want is for them to be transparent and honest about getting to their location from the ship. That's all !!! And I am not even asking for my money back !!! It shouldn't be too hard for them to just make it simple and easy.

Response from the operator: We're sorry this happened to you. We've been dealing with this for over three years, and this is the first time it's happened. The map I sent you was just to show you that we couldn't go through to the cruise ship exit because customs doesn't allow it, and so you could see how far you had to walk. I don't know who told you it wasn't there and that you had to walk up to 15 minutes or about half a mile. We try to be as transparent as possible, and we're correcting this mistake. On another note, we can't set up an information office where we usually wait for tourists because the municipality doesn't allow it. In fact, there isn't a single office for any tour operator. We'd love to have one, but it's not permitted. We hope you can come back, and we'd love to treat you to a tour on our own.

Safe to do.

As women in our 70s we were expecting suitable ebikes... Apparently you have to specify if you want ebikes and the ones on offer had cross bars so they were not suitable for our age and gender. Xavier went to some lengths to find step thru bikes and in reality we did not need ebikes for the relatively short flat ride we did. We felt safe riding behind Xavier. We enjoyed the tacos and coffee and the local history and information provided by the guide. We would recommend to other seniors that if like us you really need a certain bike style (like step thru) check that it can be provided before booking.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your comments and suggestions. We will take them into account and add them to our description in case you need an electric bike or a special bike to make your journey more comfortable.
