Oh OXXO. The 7-11 of Mexico. I have come to rely on Oxxo for all sorts of things when I'm in the hood. Snacks, beers, cheladas, hielo... you name it, if it's in the name of convenience, then Oxxo has it.
This particular Oxxo is convenient both to the Tulum highway (307) and the Puerto Aventuras pueblo. So it was a natural stop for cold beers after a long hot day on the water angling for sport fish. We tried to hit it up on the way to our boat, but they don't start selling beer until something like 8am or whatever. So that was a no-go. However on a scorched afternoon in this sleepy pueblo, the Oxxo is running full speed, and our cold Sol needs were well met.
Gracias, Oxxo. read more
