Chacala Part III

It is Mexico.  This is outside gate of La Casitas.

This is a picture of street in Chacala.

The grocery store is on the right.

Its so interesting to watch in the morning.

They are all hustling and bustling around 

getting city ready for tourist and the day.

The streets are cobblestone mostly or dirt.

We saw the local school and delivered school supplies.

Which was very interesting.  The have a scholarship program to get kids all the way to college.  They have a library, computer room ect and the mommas help clean the school once a month.  Cool huh.  If you want to donate you can do so online.

Below are two pictures of the tortilla factory.

Really cool.  

Never seen a tortilla factory.  Very cool:)

FOOD...

So Elaine or "Elaina" is what the locals call her, but my whole life she has been

"Elaine" so its super funny to me because they constantly correct me.

Anyway she gave us a sheet all about food.

First, we picked up local fruit

and quickly found out this was not grapefruit.

You can not pull it out with a spoon. I mean you can, but its very challenging.

Still not sure what it is called it is tart but good.

Pinapples are everwhere and served in anything;  Pinapple shrimp, muffins, cakes, dried, breakfast, lunch everywhere.  It is funny.

Bannas are plentiful.  

All to say the fruit is delicious.

Now if you are going to Chacala hoping to find the ultimate American burriot, think again.

This is a coastal mexican town the food is different lots of seafood a ton of shrimp everywhere and it just has its own flare it its all very tasty.

Next door at Las Brisas we were told they have best guachamole in all of Mexico.

I cant speak for all of Mexico but its REALLY good.  Along with the pina coladas and shrimp salad and many other things very tasty.

Choco Moll is very good we had dinner with our new found friends from Colorado on Sunday night.  So fun and so good.  Watch out for margaritas they floor only need one or none whatever ypur preference.  

The food is not what i expected at all but it is good and presently so perfectly at the three restraunts we have gone to.

The wonderful thing about Elaine and (Paul's) place is it is inbetween to restraunts and they two restraunts will bring it to the large patio out front for you to enjoy, which is a super personal touch.

The above is a picture of a shrimp burrito very yummy.

Below is a seafood pasta dish. So so Jason said. 

yes that is octupus below.

See you manana...
