“The food excellent. The evening events–a tamale & tequila tasting, a lively lecture on Mexico’s political history, a private tour of the Maya room at the National Museum of Anthropology, and more–were superb. A special dinner at Pujol, often ranked in the top five restaurants worldwide, was priceless.”
