The story
Arriving in the Emerald City — a night market full of aromas, spinning trompos and bubbling salsas — Dorothy discovers that the real power isn't in the shoes, but in the taco.
Along the Yellow Tortilla Road she learns that Mexican food isn't just eaten: it's honored, respected and eaten standing up. Each taco reveals part of Mexican identity: al pastor (mestizaje and migration), suadero (the persistence of the street stand), canasta (the traveling, working-class taco), tripa (the trial by fire) and cabeza (respect for the animal and for tradition).
How it works
Each taco comes with a short historical introduction, its cultural meaning and the unwritten rules of eating it right, with optional pairing of agua fresca, glass-bottle soda or beer.
In the “Click Your Heels” activity, guests learn the proper stance for eating tacos standing up.

History and culture in every scene
As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. Every dish arrives with its story: where it comes from, how it's made and what it says about the region and era that created it.
