Back to life…

1 Canadian dollar = approximately $12 Mexican pesos.

It really feels like we are back to living and I do not mean this in a bad way but being used to having access to several foods and amazing things it is not easy to live without them. I think it is easier when you have not tried them or even know about them.

Anyway, back into Mexico I almost had a heart attack seeing all the food available and the prices.

I am presenting you with a bunch of meals we tried as soon as we arrived into Mexico, most of them were invited to us by friends.

Cozumel, Quintana Roo-
First Gurjit and his wife welcomed us with some Indian food, super tasty. We had with it some avocados; of course I did not take pictures because my hands were busy peeling the avocados… they also shared with us some nuts. Ummm…

Gurjit also invited us for breakfast and I had chilaquiles with red sauce. Awesome…

We had some coffee and bread at a local bakery called Zermat Bakery located on Calle 4 Norte Avenida 5 Norte. The coffee was $12 Pesos, bread varies between $5-12 Pesos depending on complexity. Very tasty, excellent service.

Cancun, Quintana Roo-
Waiting for hours outside of Aduanas office in Cancun we became hungry so I got some panuchos for $20 Pesos and it helped us go through the rest of the day.

Tacos with Fernando. Oh my God, Fernando really treated us well. First we had tacos pastor as I had wished for several months.

Then we had fish tacos which I never had before, fantastic. I accompanied my fish tacos with a Tecate Light beer. The fish tacos were made out of: shrimp, octopus, beef with shrimp, fish and fish with avocado.
They also put on the table some spicy-sweet sour sauce made with chile morita + tamarindo + chamoy + tomatoes; this sauce goes well on tortilla chips or with the tacos…
Brian had ceviche which was tasty and spicy (made with habaneros).
The name of the Restaurant is Splash and it has been operating for about 3 years.
Ummm… Thanks Fernando.
