David is a delightful, knowledgeable host. Just know that "tasting" is not an accurate descriptor; LOTS of food! Bon appetite!

Our tour guide, David, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about all our food stops and the history of the city. He was personable, kind and very much a gentleman. My friends and I had lots of fun and every food stop was delicious.

Late Spring Secret Food Tour with Autumn
bigdogkahuna, Apr 2026
This was our 4th Secret Food Tour having done them in Austin, Savannah, and Berlin. For the San Antonio tour starting at the iconic Mi Tierra in Market Square was perfect. Having Autumn as guide made it better as she shared tidbits of information that made the city come alive. The tour itinerary going by the Spanish Governor’s Palace then into San Fernando Cathedral with final stop at the Alamo pulled everything together.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We appreciate you taking the time to write this. It’s great that the experience highlighted different aspects of the local food culture. Secret Food Tours would be happy to host you again!
