eating our way through mexico

You've already had a couple of sneak previews of Mexican foods but here is some more....the food was yummy and no one got sick!

Breakfast:
This was a tortilla bake with tomato sauce....a little spicy.


Hotel breakfast bar...cheese melted in tortilla, fresh pineapple, and cactus salad. Below is a garden crop of the cactus that they use for this salad. (tastes a little like okra)


Lunch:
We went to a family owned fish market to buy fish before heading home. When we got there the daughter was outback cooking their lunch-fish tacos and tomato, cucumber and cilantro salad. They invited us to try some....Yum. The fish tacos (which I hadn't had before) were good but I really liked the salsa salad.




After our morning at the beach we visited our translator, Rubin's, cousin's restaurant (with the beautiful "Trust in God" mural you saw in the color post). The Tacos Brissa was a corner building with two back walls and the front walls open to the street. The grill and cash register made up the outside corner of the building. We had meat, potato, and cheese on tortilla with the fresh condiments. Another yummy meal.





Desert:
Afterward we headed to the ice cream store. They one line of freezers full of scoop ice cream and a second with all types of flavors of ice cream bars. Our friend Maria, whom we stayed with two nights, had vanilla with fruit inside.


Jay chose a coconut bar and then inherited the chocolate covered vanilla bar from Pastor Bill. The one in the middle is my Oreo Cookie bar. Mmmmmm!

On our last day we just happened upon a bakery and stopped for sandwich rolls...of course you can't got to the bakery without sampling some of their sweets.
