And I guess then it was time to go to the motherland and see how its really done!
Here's a few highlights:
Knocking up some tacos. These guys had skills... his hands didnt stop moving - flippin and filling tacos whilst moving that pile of meat and onions around (all with his hands). She was busy plating up and taking orders and cash off the customerinos.
Sweet lord they were good! This was in Oaxaca and those things in the middle were fried spring onions, cooked slowly until they were sweet and juicy. You can rip 'em up and add them to the tacos, along with a big squeeze of lime. I ate them at a little table they had by the stand.
It's pretty mad out there... like, noone has tumble dryers cos they dont really need them cos it's so hot and your colourful pants dry really quick in the sun, if you hang them up. In the street. Like these guys did!
Me and Legoton enjoyed a few Margaritas..
... and ate a few chaupalinas (fried grasshoppers!) ...
The ONLY burrito I came across in Mexico was in Maccy D's! I didnt have time to try it. Good. I looked rank!
Finally... awesome grilled meat stand in the undercover food market in Oaxaca (I spent a lot of time there). You pick your raw meat and they grill it for you on open flames. It comes served with guacamole, pico salsa, cactus leaves, fresh lime and a pile of tortillas. A. Mazing.
