Wednesday was a lazy day by the pool. We had dinner at Xocolati - Roberto, the owner, served us. This place its on the hill above La Cruz and has an amazing view of the bay. We even saw a whale jumping. Fajitas, Shrimp, Chimichanga (massive) and Red Snapper - enough said. Sleeping by 8:30 pm.
Thursday started out slow with a leisurely breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage and toast. We went to the pool for a few hours where we managed to down some mojitos and dirty monkeys. Then the adventure began - we took the shuttle into La Cruz where Elilal dropped us at the Beach Club for our resort (our resort is actually in the hills above La Cruz). The Beach Club is under contraction and currently closed. We walked along the beach to the north to Manzanilla Beach. This is a great swimming area and beach. It was HOT so we stopped at Cesars for Cervesas and Pina Coladas and some nachos and quesadillas. We then walked back along the beach into town. It was HOT so we stopped at Ana Bananas and had Cervesas and Coke and visited with Barry, the owner, and CeeCee, the bar pooch. We then walked through the small town a bit more and bought a small painting. It was HOT so we stopped for an ice cream. Our plan was to go to Tacos on the Street (apparently the best tacos around) but when we arrived at 5 pm, we discovered they did not open until 5:30 pm. We decided to walk a few blocks to Glorieta de Enrique (remember the shrimp place from a few blogs ago) and have some cervesas and a plate of bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer before heading back to Tacos on the Street. Delicious. We then walked back to Tacos on the Street where they serve one type of taco - rib eye steak tacos. They do give you a choice of flour or corn tortillas though. We had tacos (and Robyn had one quesadilla), mojitos (not great) and cervesas. The tacos were 150 pesos (about $1.20). No question the best tacos we have ever had! We even bought some for the concierge back at our resort.
As we were driving home, I mentioned to Scott that we should try the taco stand on the Highway called Taco de Cabeza. The taxi driver laughed and told us this translated to Head Tacos and literally means tacos made with various parts of a cow's head - eyes, lips, tongue … we told him that we would think about it - maybe after a lot of tequila.
