The food tasting was really great. A nice variety of food, homemade tamales, goat and great pasteries. The guide was very informative and gave us a great history lesson.

Everything I wanted to know about Los Angeles but couldn't ask - because I never knew it existed. History, culture, community, AND fabulous food tastings - at places where I would never have stopped, now recommend to my friends, and want to visit again and again. Wonderful!

I haven't stopped talking about it yet. It was most informative and fun. I have lived in L.A. for over 30 years and never knew some of spots we visited existed. The food was outstanding. It was one of the most enjoyable tours I have ever taken in this city. Our tour guide Kendall was a delight, she keep us interested from beginning to end. I would certainly recommend this tour. I give it a 10. Dotty Stevens

I loved this interesting tour. Summer was an excellent guide and our exploration of East LA and Boyle Heights was fascinating and informative. I've already convinced friends to sign up for a tour in the near future.

Great Experience & Good Value for the Money

This was my 3rd tour with Melting Pot Tours and they are highly recommended. Our guide, Summer, was a total pro and also spoke Spanish which was a big help with the locals. If you're at all curious about East L.A. and didn't want to explore the area on your own this is the way to do it. The majority of the businesses visited really went the distance to be extra hospitable. I'm going to go back to a couple of the restaurants on my own to enjoy full meals.

We went on the Latin Spice Tour with Diane as our guide. She was very entertaining and informative. We rode the Gold line to various establishments in East LA. Fantastic way to sample and learn about the Latin Culture in our community. Highly recommend it to everyone. AND, you won't need to eat for the rest of the day. The food was wonderful.

This tour was about so much more than the food, although the food was great. Diane, our guide introduced us to some great history and some cool neighborhoods in our wonderful city. Also, we were introduced to some of the remarkable people who are doing phenomenal things to make their neighborhoods and our city better in many ways. We were totally inspired and enriched by this tour. We highly recommend this tour as well as the other Melting Pot Tours.
