10/28/18: Tulum food pics

Tulum was kind of a blur, but here are all the meals (mostly tacos, clearly) interspersing the wedding and touring.


Taqueria Honorio:



Don Cafeto:


that small pepper on the left was super hot. I wasn't paying attention and ate it whole, only to have heat build up for like 5 min, forcing me to sip Muslimah's shake to try to reduce the pain.



Antojitos La Chiapaneca:

Not pictured: the best al pastor tacos I've ever had. Deeply flavored and not too fatty or dry. I went back a second time, and they weren't quite as good.


El Asadero:

Unremarkable and pricy for what it was.


Unnamed food carts around here:

Right was an excellent pork stomach taco. Left was a decent cochinita pibil.

Unremarkable but big huarache.


Some hippy shop:

Offering what else, an avocado toast. It was good, though, per Muslimah.


Pretty ratty taco stand across from Playa Del Carmen General Hospital:




El Chamicos:


A huge ceviche. We could have gotten the smaller sized one and been quite full. Good but repetitive to eat that much ceviche.


Don Beto:

Solid cochinita pibil. Don't get the torta here, they say. Too dry.

Very good carne asada.


El Paraiso hotel, beach spot, and restaurant:
We availed ourselves only of the restaurant part. Was good to do some people watching for what amounts to a very small but aspiring resort.

Forgot the retro style Fresca cans existed. That mango salsa was so unripe that we sent it back.

The mixte presented in a moljacete.


Kitchen Table:

Ribs. Good. The plaintain fufu starch side was intriguing. Like a homemade energy bar.

Catch of the day -- a snapper filet.

Skirt steak. Pretty well seasoned, managed the toughness of skirt steak pretty well.

Octopus. Very well executed. One of the best octopus dishes I've had.


A big ol avocado, maybe a Hall?:

Perfectly ripe and delicate flavor.


Guy Fieri's American Bar and Grill at the Cancun Airport:
We didn't have a ton of options at the airport that included drinks.
Don't say we're not up for a food adventure.


Wings were bad.

Fries were fine.

Burger was fine.

Cheescake was quite good, actually, and 4 of us polished this off.
