Food and Fun
This was a fantastic tour for an ordinary Saturday. Our tour guide took us to some cool places hidden in Pasadena's old town. Equator Cafe, Choza Mama and Tortas Mexico were some of our favorites. These were perfect spots for hanging out with friends or just two. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and informative about the food and Pasadena history. We had such a great time that we went back the next day to some of the places.
