| Pedro's Tacos |
Last night we had a wonderful dinner with some great
friends. You know you are getting older when you hear the special of the night,
but you miss the price. I did just that and wound up with an exquisite meal that
cost us $32 dollars. LOL Our entire tab
for dinner last night came to just over $63, and when we were driving home all
we could think about is that we could have eaten the same exact meal for just
over $25 in Melaque at one of the gringo restaurants.

In all actuality our normal dinner while on vacation came to
about $11. If we ate at Ayala a daily lunch special is 32.00 pesos
and with drink we would probably spend about $4.50 including tip. It is hard to compare the meals down in
Melaque to the food that we buy in good old Idaho. Prices are higher and we probably get a tad
bit more served up on the plate up here, but we also get quite a bit more over
indulgence in the area of extras.

Melaque food is
basic. Very good, but it is not overly
garnished. If you order tacos, you get
tacos. No cheese, no sour cream and no pile of re-fried beans. On occasion you
will get a half cup of rice, and a small ladle full of re-fried beans, but most
of the time it is the taco meat, wrapped in two tortillas with beans, salsa,
and hot sauces served on the table. You
fix ‘em the way you like ‘em!
When I write about our meal experiences, I have found that everyone
who reads the blog really likes the photos of the food. To appease all you south of the border food
fanatics, here is a photo extravaganza of the foods of the Costalegre!
