Meet Noel (above centre), he was our waiter at Don Sanchez today where we had THE BEST Mexican food we’ve had during the whole 3 weeks or so that we’ve spent travelling in Mexico so far. After toying with the idea of ordering nachos and then deciding not to, Noel (in the accommodating and friendly way that Mexicans do) brought them to us for free – and he taught us to make the salsa too.
We came across this place, again, after following the recommendation of a local in response to us asking “What’s your favourite Mexican restaurant in town?”. Asking this, or versions of this question, has got us to so many awesome places and Don Sanchez has easily given us the best Mexican food so far.
Look at all those smiley faces, they’re so smiley because we’re eating the salsa that we made with Noel’s help. After this we had spiced chicken tacos with mint-slaw, mango & pineapple salsa, refried beans and corn rice. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
As well as learning how to make salsa, we’ve also learned that in Mexico if you want to order water for your table you need to order it in an American accent and drop the T in waTer – or in Spanish of course – as this was the 3rd time a waiter didn’t understand what I was talking about!
