MEXICO IN SPAIN

After our trip to Avila five of us decided we could not deny our craving for Mexican food any longer. We went back to the same restaurant we got turned away from the last time. This time it was not too late, so we got seated and started reading the mouthwatering menu. We ended up ordering a couple different entrées, so we could embrace as much of the spicy goodness as possible. We had an array of Nachos, Enchiladas, Burritos, and Quesadillas.

The restaurant satisfied my craving for Mexican food, but it was a far cry from the traditional Mexican restaurants I am use to in the States. First off, there was no never ending basket of chips and salsa, which was really disappointing. Secondly, we could not escape ham. There was ham in almost every dish we ordered. Like I said these Spaniards like to sneak ham into just about everything. I would not be surprised if the desert that Sarah and her boyfriend ordered had some trace of ham in it. I think I will need a very long break from ham and some really good Mexican food when I get back to the US.
