Now to review the luxurious experience of breakfast in Mexico. Half way through our trip we discovered the breakfast buffet, all you can eat for 1500 hundred pesos (approximately $13.50). It was a deliciously affordable way to go. The buffet had extensive options with a wide variety of items even I could partake in. An omelet and quesadilla station as well as a fresh fruit smoothie station were highlights. Aside from the smoothie station there was also a juice bar. All the juices served were fresh squeezed and included orange, apple, grapefruit, watermelon, cantaloupe, guava and pineapple. Prepared items (that I could enjoy) included refried beans, chiliquiles (corn chips sauted with enchilada sauce topped with cojita and onions), tamales, breakfast potatoes, scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, freshly made salsas, as well as fresh fruit and yogurt. What a feast! Having breakfast with my man was definitely one of the more enjoyable times of the day though every moment on vacation in Mexico was tremendously enjoyable.
On days we didn't eat at the buffet we either made a meal out of food we brought from home, which also worked out well, or ate at a restaurant enjoying fruit kabobs and huevos rancheros. All the egg and corn products were excellent. The eggs had bright orange yolks with a rich flavor. The corn tortillas and chips had depth, not full of the fried overly processed flavor so many of the corn products in the states have. The tortillas were especially moist. I could actually fold them over without the expected cracking down the middle. Ever since my return to the states breakfast just hasn't been the same. I guess I can't expect much from a humble bowl of oatmeal though. Here's to good eating and even better living!
