" (We can) thank Kurt Hollander for leading us through a city in which many would not have the heart, lungs, stomach, or street smarts to survive.” - New York Journal of Books
"Hollander’s history of Mexican food and alcohol—from Aztec pulque to present-day Coronas—and his analysis of Mexico City’s tap water are brilliant, even if his narration frequently meanders away to other Mexican curiosities. In a city so teeming with interconnected life, who can blame him?" -Daily Beast
