After the beach we decided to walk away from the tourist area to find a good place for lunch. We stopped at Corozon de Jesus, a little colorful place a few blocks north of our hotel. The menu was in Spanish and the waitstaff didn't appear to speak English, giving me a chance to practicar mi espanol. We ordered enchiladas moles, a mystery sandwich which turned out to have grilled hotdog strips, pork, ham, and cheese (yum!), picadillo- which is ground pork sauteed with veggies, served con tortillas of course, and filet de pescado (fish) which was expertly pan fried, moist, and absolutely delicious! We also tried horchata, which the kids loved.
Then we stopped by the local fruit market. Me encanta este mercado! Mangoes, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, huge avocados, guava, everything! We bought a huge avocado and three mangoes for 28pesos (about $2)!
Then after all that we headed home for the REAL mexican experience- siesta! Me encanta siesta!
We woke up and ate our fruits and later made some tacos with local tortillas, ready-to-eat beans from a package, avo, hot sauce, and this amazing cheese called Panela. Its soft and a bit crumbly, and salty. Kinda like a mix between feta and cottage cheese in flavor. Que Rico!
Then some television cable en espanol, then to bed.
What a wonderful day!
Glad to see you are eating well. I like the bilingual posts. Maybe I can learn Spanish too!
