Traveling again to Korea on our the second trip (October 24, 2017), gave us the chance to discover extra of Korean delicacies. You may’t walk half a block in Ciudad de México with out stumbling throughout a panoply of road eats: tortas, tamales, tlacoyos, sopes, huaraches, flautas, tortas, chilaquiles, chicharrones…the list goes on and on. Might as well pull up a stool and provides in to temptation.
