I thought I was your only vato!

Just back... still cooling off from the spice and heat of Mexico. Stay tuned my loves!

Playa del Carmen is HOT...

Can I just gush for a bit about how utterly and absolutely deeeeelicious the guacamole was? MY GOD. I just loved it, loved it, and loved it some more... that and the shrimp tacos! And the chicken quesadillas, and the succulent seafood and the spice-drenched salsa-esque dips. LOVE. Washed such down with a bevy of beers, ICE cold and perfect amidst squeltering temperatures. Tried a different cerveza at each stop.

Need a wee break from traditional Mexican fare?

Negrosol... my friends, this place was the picture of cool. With a glass floor to reveal its brilliant wine cellar. A detailed review is in order.

...Both literally and figuratively

Love love love that Caribbean blue. Gorgeous. Brilliant. Stole as many glimpses as possible. Got serenaded there too. Well, my abuelita did. I just basked in her glow.

    Am I crazy or didn't you used to have a great nightlife tip here about a place with big curtains and pillows?

    Any restaurant tips you didn't have time to put up? We're heading back to PDC in a little over 2 weeks :-)

    Hahaha! If the heading, opening photograph, and first few amazing words are anything to go by, I'm in for a treat here! Pray tell, what IS that surreal shadow box? And shrimp tacos?!! Sublime.
