Yummy food with lots of history. - We enjoyed the food, culinary history, and San Miguel history on our tour. I only wish we had done it earlier in our stay because Omar gave us a great overview of the town and lots of dining tips. Omar was friendly and knowledgeable and the other participants were fun.

Taste well and learn - Omar highlighted the origin and history of the dishes we tasted which was a plus. All the places were fairly close walk from each other. Omar also pointed out many other places to get dishes that we did not visit on the tour. We sampled several of his suggested spots later.
