Toppings included radishes, chopped onions, cilantro, and guacamole.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-4480 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/foodexpomichocan.jpg\" class=\"gallery_colorbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/foodexpomichocan-150x150.jpg\"  class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-4490\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-4490'>\n\t\t\t\tMy favorite Gorditas were actually outside of the food expo at this vendor stand.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/foodexpogorditas.jpg\" class=\"gallery_colorbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johnpedroza.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/foodexpogorditas-150x150.jpg\"  class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-4487\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-4487'>\n\t\t\t\tThree different stuffed gorditas.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>A small video of the food expo:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/21WAYJ3deBs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of the Feria de San Marcos was the Expo Agroalimentaria (the food exposition).
