Puerto Escondido, Part II

The Food

As I have mentioned before, food has become a major part of this vacation.Once we tasted the delicious tacos in Oaxaca City, we were hooked on the traditional Mexican food. Here in Puerto we have also tried some amazing delicacies. The first night we had an unbelievable fish dinner since Puerto is a fishing community.It seemed as if the waiter would not stop bringing food...first, bread and delicious garlic butter, then crab soup, and then a huge platter of fish and steamed veggies. By the way, the table we were seating at was right on the beach. The next night we had dinner at a Seaside hotel with a very nice candlelit atmosphere, and I had tasty tacos with unbeliavably good quacamole. Tonight, our last night, I had pork (one of my fave things to have ever). Breakfasts have become an important meal of the day as well. We´ve had yummy omlettes, crepes, fresh squeezed orange juice, pancakes, and huge amount of delicious locally grown fruit. We have also had tasty quesadillas filled with amazing cheese and some other local varieties of tacos. Im definitely going to miss the abundance of good and cheap food, especially the homemade tortillas.
