Advice for eating out at a Mexican Restaurant.

Queen_JessieA

All I know is I'm leaving for a two week vacation in Mexico in less than two weeks, so I'll be eating out every night at a Mexican restaurant. And I'm not planning on watching my calories while on vacation. The food there is just so YUMMY! I know that if I get right back to logging and counting calories when I get back, the weight that I've gained will come off again. I feel like if you want to make this a lifestyle, you can't deprive yourself all of the time. An occasional binge can be good for the soul. Enjoy life.....eat Mexican!

When we went to Cancun a couple of years ago, we were warned NOT to eat at Mexican restaurants because it would make you sick? And that was by the locals!! We had asked around with locals and they all said the same thing We actually came home and that was what we ate for dinner that first night back!


I hope you have different results!!

Thanks, but we go there (Ixtapa) every year and never have a problem. All of the restaurants cater to tourists, so they all have bottled water, and the food is wonderful! Seafood is so fresh, and everything is home made (including the chips and pico de galo). Just thinking about it is making my mouth water.

That is good to know I would have thought Cancun would have been the same way. It is very touristy. I was dissappointed in the lack of Mexican food, tho

Fajitas, done.

I guess this thread just made me choose my lunch today:
chips, strawberry margerita and chicken fajitas....<sigh>

Why did I even have to start reading?????

Perhaps they had a lack of what you consider to be "Mexican food", but I highly doubt that they lacked authentic Mexican food... in Mexico.
