Today, as we did our deliveries in the Dallas area, in the 113 degree weather, we stopped and had lunch in a highly recommended Mexican Restaurant. It was good food, abundant, fresh and typical texmex. NOT Mexico Mexican food.
REAL FOOD IN MEXICO
I say this loosely as food differs in all parts of Mexico. Each state has its own specialty and there are WIDE differences. The only food we had trouble eating was in the state of Oaxaca. My spanish language instructor took us on a foodie run in the suburbs of Oaxaca. Famously, a favorite for foodies, authors, and visitors. We first had goat cooked, grilled with vegetables. It was tasty. A bit gamey for me
COULD NOT EAT THE STREET TAMALES
On the way back into town, via buses. taxis and our feet. He pointed to a lady selling tamales out of a container on the street. He said they were the best in el todo Mundo. So, we bought both the red and green variety. Wowee.....red might be hot. but green could even be hotter. We just could not eat them. We gave them to the maid at the apartment we were renting. We only stayed in Oaxaco for 10 days and we had rented the apartment for a month. We just could not eat the food. It is an amazing, mind boggling beautiful place on earth. Cool and Mountainous. The food...hot, certainly not texmex. More to come H, C, and Boo too
