Curator’s statement
I've been to Mexico a zillion times because I love it so much, so I put together this family-friendly, food-focused jaunt to Mexico City and Oaxaca! Navigated properly, both locations are an amazing place to take kids to expose them to beautiful Mexican culture and the most fabulous food of their lives.
