HIRE A GUIDE
Edurrdo Nava met me in the Hotel Rosita’s lobby promptly at 10 am. to start our Chocolate Trail. With a friendly smile and greeting, we started walking the downtown area, searching for the best stores and restaurants that feature the ancient cocoa dishes. Our first stop was the Choco Museo for a bit of history and the steps and techniques involved to produce those delectable morsels of heaven.
Our conversation about chocolate continues as we weave around the street corners through small neighborhoods before coming upon a hidden gem. Each of these three different families ran restaurants use their heritage pride reflected in their culinary delights. Some sweet while others not sweet at all, like mole sauces, but all we memorable. Finding the ‘gems’ was preciously what I wanted to know. And who better than local Edurrdo to show us where they are while he shares vast chocolate knowledge with you.
