Uh, you'll get Real-Mex there, and as I mentioned - localized for the Yucatan style, largely adjusted for the grigos.

I have been know to rush out to my back yard, soaking wet, with no clothes on, just to gingerly relocate a spider who found its way into my shower.

My favorite restaurant by far is La Cocay. I was a little surprised that no one brought it up until well into this thread. I was there in April and realized that I had been eating there for exactly 10 years, although the location obviously changed a few years ago. The chocolate torte dessert is decadent. They classify the cuisine as Mediterranean, by the way (someone asked in one of the threads). I just consider it good.

Cozumel, Mexico - La Cocay - Mediterranean Cuisine

For basic Mexican food, I have never had a bad meal at La Choza. They usually have a lot of customers even when the other restaurants are deserted. I started taking my wife there last year and now every trip starts with a lunch at La Choza.

For a cheap dinner, I still like to go to Chilangos on 30th for huaraches. I haven't been there for a few months, though. I don't recall exactly what the prices are these days, but it will probably be difficult to spend more than $5 US per person unless a lot of beer is involved.

Don't miss Guido's. I't on the main drang at the north end of town. Been there for years, used to be called Pizza Rolandes. It is a charming atmosphire and the food is delious. Resonable priced Italian/spanish food. Great Sangria and garlic bread.

Yeah, I don't care for warm water lobster. New England bugs are tastier; never had Pacific bugs.

Alternate smile source, but careful - some are not appropriate here.

And I have some I've collected here and there.

Okay what in the world is a huarache. Sounds like I need to try it!:grinbandit:

Hola from Santa Rosa NM.

Been diving the Hole in practice of returning to Coz...

Okay what in the world is a huarache. Sounds like I need to try it!:grinbandit:

Definition: Huaraches, traditional handmade Mexican sandals with woven leather tops, have been around for hundreds of years and were popular among Mexican villagers and peasants.

Traditionally featuring a leather sole, huaraches crafted with soles made from recycled tires began appearing in Mexican markets in the mid-1930s -- although the precise date of when tire-tread soles arrived on the scene is a source of some debate.

Nowadays, the sturdy, slip-on shoes can be found in a variety of looks, colors and materials, with some featuring leather, rubber or sneaker-like synthetic soles, with styles ranging from the classic sandal to dress shoes to flip-flops for casual wear.

The tough materials have helped popularize huaraches as durable and long-lasting footwear.
Pronunciation: hur-ah-chees

Nike has named some of their more modern shoes with this stolen name.

Or...

The huarache, sort of like a Mexican version of pizza, is a sandal-shaped flatbread made of corn masa. My favorite is usually from ChicagoÃÔ Maxwell Street Market, where sunbaked abuelas hand-pat big balls of corn meal with their crinkly-skinned hands, throwing their efforts on the grill until the air fills with corn perfume.
