“Tour began with ceviche which was pretty tasty in an average eatery. From there we walked to a not so desirable location but my chicken mole was good though my husband’s was quite grizzly. This was our only tequila sampling where we had one shot. The oranges accompanying the shot were delicious. On we went to a franchised taco place, and received one taco.

There is not that much walking (considering the length of the tour) but it might be difficult for those who can't stand in…”
