Not Taco Bell!

Real Mexican food from the homes and streets of Mexico City and Guadalajara...

Chilaquiles verdes:
Huevos en salsa pasilla:
Love how the chorizo is mixed in with the egg:

Enchiladas:

Tamales and flautas... good at any time of day!

A hole in the wall in Ajijic had the best barbacoa tacos:

The mercado had amazing blue-corn gorditas:

Fish tacos... from the streets of Guadalajara... (check out the arsenal of hot sauces!):

Arrachera a la parilla. Absolutely the juiciest flank steak we've ever had: Not to be outdone was the plato jarocho with sopa de nopales (cactus soup):

Once in a while we had to take a break from all the meat with a refreshing licuado:

And sip fine tequila...

A great pairing with Mexican food is the Indio (lighter) and Bohemia (darker) beer:

And of course, Negra Modelo:

Even a light dinner usually consisted of tacos dorados (crispy fried tacos). Ensalada is totally optional :-D

Tacos dorados, here from a street vendor in Lake Chapala:

Tacos dorados, from a restaurant in Chapala...

...with an order of plump & delicious shrimps!

The ultimate in comfort food: the pozole (verde pictured):

A gelatin dessert is light and refreshing after a big meal...

(or you may prefer the grilled corn with a hint of salsa and lime :-)

We heart icecream!

A little warning: Mexican donuts are extremely sweet!

Tacos are everywhere... check out the adorable ceramic tacos from the mercado:

Of course, we had to pick up one of these tortilla presses (a must for an authentic Mexican meal... can't wait to try it out at home!)

More pictures to come!
