"Delicioso! la bebida de los dioses que tienen me fascinó, podría tomarla diario. Lo que tomaban nuestros tlatoanis, de maiz y cacao. Todo rico!!! Ah, lo que sí, es que la pedí sin azúcar y la trajeron con azúcar. Eso es un poco molesto porque se desfasa la comida, además de que nos trajeron todo junto de comer, y pues se enfrían. Es imporante tratar de servir al mismo tiempo a ambos comensales y respetar los tiempos pero, enfin, pero nada que no pueda remediarse."
