Mexican Food Again?

Yep, we were back eating dinner at Los Napolis last night.  If you are counting that is 3 times since we've been in Tucson. Once again it was great and I will be having the leftovers for breakfast in a few minutes.

So you might ask why eat Mexican food so often when you will be going to Mexico tomorrow?  The answer is that Los Napolis has better Mexican food than we have found in Mazatlan in our 10 years of eating down there.

How can that be?  The truth is that there is every imaginable type of food in Mazatlan.  Most restaurants serve a blander version of Mexican than we enjoy. 

Now when it comes to ribs, Mazatlan can't be beat.  Seafood, Mazatlan can't be beat.  Popsicles, Mazatlan can't be beat. (Yes, they are made with real fruit.) Great views while eating, Mazatlan can't be beat.

But the Mexican food in Mazatlan doesn't quite measure up.  So our goal once we live there and have our own car to explore will be to discover "Great" Mexican food.  I'm pretty sure it won't be in the tourist areas.  Let the adventure begin.





Terri's burro.

After dinner we went to the "run down" bar that was mentioned a few blogs back.  Matt, there were no horse standing in the bar, sorry.  But they did have a big screen TV for Terri to watch the Seahawks on Monday night football.  The Hawks played an awful game but somehow managed to win.  As Tamra texted to her mother, "A W is a W".  That's about the best that could be said about the game.

I liked the Seahawk player receiving a penalty after scoring a touchdown.  Seems like there is a limit on how much bad sportsmanship is allowed.  Maybe he will act a little more like a professional athlete next time.  I doubt it.

Time to pack up the RV and move it to storage.  We're off to Nogales in a few hours and will be crossing the border tomorrow morning.  It will take two long days of driving to get to Mazatlan.

Our regular cell phones are set-up with Verizon to work just like we are next door to you.  For $15.00 per month we have an international plan that gives us 1,000 minutes per month in calling or receiving while we are in Mexico.  So there is no reason you can't call us anytime.

I'll write again when we get there.

  1. Timing! I got to try the yummy cactus yesterday, too. My caregiver made NOPALES SALAD. It ha nopalitos, cucumber, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Though everything online said tomatoes, she assured me that in El Salvador, they put 'em in lots of stuff, but not this. Not sure if she meant the country or just her family, but it was delicious at any rate!

    So, big THANK YOUs to you & Terri for inspiring my tastebuds!
