Tacos at the fair!

I really like tacos for dinner.  Especially tacos from a taco stand.  Or at the fair!

There are many taco stands in Cozumel.  But mostly, they're in the back streets.  Which I regularly bike through during the day.  But not so much at night. Not because I feel unsafe, but it just feels safer to stay in the more touristy areas at night if I can. 

But Cozumel is getting ready for Carnaval.  So the plaza near my apartment is slowly being transformed into a fair ground.  Complete with a big yummy taco stand!

For about 3 nights in a row, I walked past the taco stand.  Partly to scout it out.  Partly cause it's just fun to walk through the fair ground. Each time, a young man with a menu in hand, has beckoned me to enjoy the tacos.  Each time, I said "another night".

Last night, I finally went!  I had 2 tacos "arabe" (kinda like a beef shawarma), and 3 tacos "pastor" (pork cooked on vertical spit).  I thought I was a pastor fan.  Now, I'm an arabe fan.  Delicious!!!!!

It was nice.  My waiter was the young man with the menus.  He recognized me.  He said you have the "bici" - my little green bicycle :)

1) The taco "kitchen".  The spit on the left just got loaded with a billion thin pork chops!
2) My dinner!  The tacos arabe are on the right, the pastor on the left.  That's  jamaica water - made with jamaica flowers.  And two bottles of sauce garlic (disapointing, not like shawarma garlic mayo...) and a spicy/sweet bbq sauce
3) The table with the jamaica water and horchata
4) The menu.  Keep in mind the prices are in pesos. Ten pesos are about 60 cents Canadian at the moment
5) The fair is very much a family thing.  This family is buying pizza
