our host Kenji sorted everything for us and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight ... Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the food tour we did in seville last year, and booked it for my birthday. Would book again no question, 10/10

our host Raj was nice enough, but a glass of the local red felt a bit rushed honestly ... Last day of the trip. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, tried about 8 dishes. Bit disappointed ngl, for our anniversary.
