Do you like tostilocos? Do you like fruit? Do you like it spicy? If you do, then you will…read moreabsolutely love this place. One of the coolest places I have been to in quite some time. A simple concept where you can mix in 48 (I counted) different chips, fruit and candy into a cup, have them mixed together and create an awesome spicy and salty snack. A sample of what you can put in a cup? Tostitos, chips, flaming hot Cheetos, churritos, Japanese peanuts, spicy peanuts, raw peanuts, mango, watermelon, pineapple, spicy apples, cucumbers, candy, gummy worms/bears and saladitos. There are another 30 or so items that I am missing from this list, but you get the idea. After you choose you mix ins, they will then mix it all together with chamoy, chili, clamato and lime so everything gets evenly covered. You can also choose to not get any of the chili or chamoy at the end if you aren't into that. But then you are just missing out on what makes it so tasty. I got one full of mango, pineapple, apple and all the peanuts mixed in, and it was amazing. All my favorites in one spicy jumbled sweet mess of of saltiness. It was truly a first for me, and enjoyed it until the very last bite. I did pay with my Chase credit card, which worked out great. I was charged in pesos, but the charge appeared on my statement already converted to dollars without any foreign exchange fees. This is done at the current exchange rate, so you get an extra 10% more for your money. Most cards charge foreign exchange fees, so be sure you are using the right card before you start to swipe the plastic at every establishment. Very inexpensive, starting at 35$ pesos ($2.50) for the small cup, which is surprisingly filling. A great concept, and a must try if you happen to be in town.

Then, we went over to the cafe to buy some coffee beans and treats and we were treated with above and beyond service. I would highly recommend both the food and cafe! I can't wait to return next time I'm in town.

You pick your favorite or best marbling and they will cut any thickness of steak. The steaks are not aged like in the US so are not as tender but also probably have no hormones either. The sausages are ok with different ones to try. I recommend San Nicolás - Carnicería Butcher Shop. Can't wait to come back again to try more things!

My fellowship, a cluster of mere mortals with taste far keener than foresight, insisted we seek a place foretold in gustatory prophecy: La Cocedora de Langosta. I assented, though the sea had begun to speak again. A cruel trick of salt and memory. We arrived. The lobster was not served--it presented itself. Shell split like prophecy fulfilled, meat steaming with tales older than Atlantis. The ceviche? Lime and fire in perfect alchemy. It hissed in my mouth like the last words of a betrayed siren. A whole fish, fried until its soul ascended, left bones so clean they could be used in ritual. Angels wept; I salted accordingly. The risotto arrived next, not on a plate but in a chalice. Each bite stirred marrow and memory, comfort and command. My sea legs stood straighter. My resolve thickened. Libations flowed--freely, fervently, faultlessly. The chalice refilled itself (or perhaps the staff were trained in illusion and replenishment). Laughter, clinking glass, and something close to joy dared to rise. Staff were keen-eyed adepts, operating with the grace of trained familiars. The atmosphere carried hints of volcanic enchantment and citrus optimism. Barry the Brave Muffin Baker--my misguided nemesis-ally--might have found peace here. Or at least, a decent aioli. Verdict: A rare convergence of flesh, flavor, and fate. Five stars scorched upon the firmament by my hand. I may never return. But that's only because the enchantment forbade it.
