“This food tour with Yibran was the best food tour we've ever done - not only because of the quantity of the food (so much food!) but the quality and variety of the items and the great conversation with Yibran along the way. Not only did he take us to his/his family's favorite spots in the neighborhoods where he grew up, but he took us into his home for some home-cooked tamales and the best hot chocolate ever made by his lovely and gracious wife Daniella! I would recommend this food tour to everyone who wants to try a lot of different types of dishes representing many regions of Mexico…”
