We’ll end at Parque de las Palapas with quesadillas rellena de queso and carne asada al comal and creamy fruit paletas, surrounded by music, families, and the city’s joyful energy. Along the way, we’ll touch on beloved Mexican traditions like Día de los Muertos and the cultural spirit that keeps them alive.
