ABOUT US
Origins of Taste
Taste was born in 2018 on the island of Isla Mujeres. After a foodie visited the island, just off the coast of Cancun, and fell in love with the town on a day trip, they decided to create the original Taste website, Taste of Isla. What began as a platform built to support local street vendors and small businesses, soon blossomed into a go-to guide for the best taco spots and hidden culinary gems. The founder initially offered free marketing to small businesses with limited resources, and over time, this grew into a full-fledged restaurant website.
As Taste of Isla grew further, it evolved into a complete platform, offering not just restaurant information, but also tours and services, as well as accommodations, beach clubs, and more, becoming the go-to source for everything that Isla Mujeres has to offer. Thanks to a dedicated team and ongoing projects on the island, the vision has expanded beyond Isla Mujeres. What started as a way to highlight the town’s culinary scene has now grown to include dining experiences and more across the entire Yucatan Peninsula.
Today, we’re proud to offer Taste of Isla, Taste of El Cuyo, Taste of Cancun, Taste of Puerto Morelos, and Taste of Valladolid, and Taste of Merida, with plans to expand into more towns and cities across the region.
