Crispy Tacos

9th Feb. San Ignacio. Crispy tacos with Mechaca (and goats cheese).

After the whales, we returned to town and made the regular daily stop for some lunch tacos- it's quicker, cleaner and often just as cheap as making your own lunch, so it's super handy when we've got a long day's driving ahead, and it presents opportunities to eat in proper local places and enjoy some proper food and atmosphere.

Our food was freshly fried crispy tacos with Machaca (shredded beef), fresh tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, sour cream and a little sprinkling of goats cheese. On the side, refried beans, of course, and rice. $4 per plate which is a slightly high price, owing to it being a touristic area, but the quality and quantity was bang on. We could actually have shared a plate. Jen wasn't a fan of the goats cheese. I was ok with it, but I think the flavour would better reside with lamb. They don't use lamb here, but it's a worthwhile note should I wish to replicate this in a restaurant at a future time.Read more
