ABOUT US
Origins of Taste
Taste's journey began on Isla Mujeres, an island off Cancun's coast. In 2018, a food enthusiast launched the original Taste website, Taste of Isla, after falling in love with the vibrant destination during a day trip. What started as a modest site aimed at supporting local street vendors quickly grew into a platform guiding visitors to the best taco spots and hidden gems. The founder provided free marketing for small businesses that lacked resources, which evolved into a comprehensive restaurant website featuring delivery and reservation services.
As Taste of Isla expanded, it began offering tours, services, accommodations, beach clubs, and more, transforming into a full-service platform for everything Isla Mujeres has to offer. With a dedicated team and ongoing projects on the island, the vision broadened to other areas. Initially focused on showcasing Isla Mujeres' culinary delights, Taste now connects visitors with top dining experiences throughout the Yucatán Peninsula.
Today, we proudly offer Taste of Isla, Taste of El Cuyo, Taste of Cancun, Taste of Puerto Morelos, and Taste of Valladolid, with plans for more Taste websites in various towns and cities across the region.

Why Are We Doing This?
The Taste team is committed to delivering exceptional foodie experiences, showcasing both popular restaurants and hidden local gems. We proudly support small, independent businesses and love to bring innovative ideas to life. Our platform empowers local businesses across the Yucatan Peninsula to market themselves, even when they lack the time or resources for an online presence.
Since our beginning, Taste has evolved into a comprehensive resource. We highlight not just restaurants and local eateries, but also bars, cafes, unique tours, activities, accommodations, and more. On our original website, Taste of Isla, we introduced Isla Mujeres’ first online shop, featuring beautiful local arts and crafts, as well as handmade creations from independent artists and small businesses. This allows us to share the charm and artistry of local talent with the world.
Our mission is to support small businesses, uplift independent artists, and foster unique ideas in more towns and cities throughout the region. We aim to provide visitors with the knowledge and resources they need to explore, plan, and discover the area with confidence and ease.
Where Are We Going?
As the Taste project has evolved from a small platform into a comprehensive vacation planning resource for Isla Mujeres, El Cuyo, Cancun, Valladolid, Puerto Morelos, and Merida, our mission remains to connect visitors with local vendors while providing valuable knowledge and insider tips for an unforgettable getaway. By collaborating with local businesses, we gain exclusive insights into the best dining, exploration, and relaxation options during your stay. Our goal is to enrich your experience. We're also excited to announce that the Taste project is expanding to include more towns and cities in the Yucatan Peninsula, offering visitors greater options and the confidence to discover new destinations, making vacation planning both easy and enjoyable.
