Steez went to Mexio - Part 3 - Etc.

Steak tartare and french fries (?).

This last batch is a catch-all of pics from Mexico. I thought I had more but turns out it's just appetizers from the French place and some room service meals (Spent a day laying in bed watching world cup and movie channels since my wife had an ear infection.)

We also went to sushi, indonesian, italian and lobster places they had on site but I guess I was too preoccupied with being on vacation to get pics of them. Sorry. Next time, I promise.

What you're looking at is some steak tartare and 'pomme frites', goose liver pate (not as good as I remember).  and the last 2 are just a mish mash of shit we got through room service. 24 hour room service at the resort - we did order a hamburger at 4am one night (morning?).

Steez went to Mexico - Part 2 - Mexican Food

There was a fantastic Mexican restaurant at the resort we stayed at. There seemed to be some Americanized Mexican food (or maybe I just thought it was Americanized) and then some other more regional dishes (confirmed authentico by the waitstaff who were all amazing, by the way).

Ceviche. Bomb diggity

Mother of god this was amazing. First thing I ate there and maybe one of the most memorable. Steak tenderloin (rare) on top of some creamed spinach/corn stuff. Side of guac, pico and beans.

Wife's fajitas. Good, nothing out of the ordinary though.

Cactus salad. Weird man.

Jicama salad (I think) neither one of those salads were anything I liked.

Cheese dip with chorizo. HOLY S THIS MADE ME SMILE.

Poblano stuffed with Beef, like a chili relleno.

This thing was OOOO WEEE. Grouper, wrapped in a plantain leaf, cooked in aluminum foil. Amazing.

Wife's enchiladas. Don't remember what the other 2 sauces were but the dark one was a chocolate mole type sauce. She wasn't a huge fan of them.

Wasn't sure whether to include this on the buffet post, but it's mexican. From the Mexican buffet night, my wife's plate. Mine disappeared quickly so I don't have a pic, and honestly, I'm not sure what most of that stuff is. Except for the beet in the middle. Lots of beets all over down there.

dessert plate from the Mexican mariachi buffet night. the churro and the big fried thing under it were both BADASS. Rest of it was forgettable.

from our 2nd trip to the bangin Mexican restaurant. An appetizer sampler. I dont remember what all the things are but the middle is a BBQ pork style dish that they eat down there every sunday. it was really good.

A Mexican shrimp tower. they light it on fire. I didn't want shrimp. I just wanted my food to get caught on fire.

table setting in the mexi-place.

Steez went to Mexico - Part 1 - Buffet food.

I'm not ashamed to say I love a good buffet. All inclusive resorts usually have them, and they're usually pretty awesome. Get alot of what you want, none of what you don't and a little something new. My favorite kinds of buffets have a mix of premade hot food, people making fresh hot food and some premade cold stuff. I knew what I was getting into when I went down there. Here are just a few pics of some epic buffet trips. Other restaurant meals and some authentico mexican fare to follow soon. I can't believe I don't have a picture of it but I put this spicy green avocado sauce on almost everything I ate. I'm going to try to replicate the sauce in my own kitchen.

Stupid big omelet. chorizo, tomato, green peppers, broccoli and a side of bacon to the left.

this is one of my "just because I can" items. chocolate cereal in chocolate milk. Elephant cereal.

This is a post-meal picture obviously. I think this was fajitas, big plate of Nachos we shared, some taquitos and Mucho Dos XX.

Nacho-bacon burger (my invention - delicious), nachos and some ham and cheese tortilla things that were awesome. more Dos XX.
