This book guides the reader to out-of-the-way market stalls, authentic taco joints, as well as current high-end hot-spots on the culinary scene.

It is written by resident gastronome and active Slow Food organizer Nicholas Gilman, who recently celebrated the publication of the book in a well attended event at one of the capitol's chicest hotspots, Restaurant Contramar.
