• Taste Huasteca-style tamales and a fresh huachinango, or red snapper, tostada so you can compare different regional preparations of masa and seafood in a single walk.
• Pair huaxmole and tetela with a mezcal cocktail to experience how rich moles and filled masa pockets balance with a carefully chosen agave-based drink.
