October 5th, 2010 by Brian McCullough – Comments (15)

When someone asks me about Mexican food in general, it’s easy for me to get really specific about what it is that I like. When I think Mexican food, the only thing that comes to my mind are the dozen or so times I have kicked back on a beach in Baja with a taco [...]

May 5th, 2010 by Brian McCullough – Comments (3)

Two of my favorite things in the whole world are holidays and vacation. First off, on Vacation I eat whatever I want and as much of it as I want. You may think that’s terrible but I call it “living to eat.” On that same note, one of my favorite vacations is to Mexico and [...]

Fiesta Del Mar – Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

April 7th, 2010 by Jeff C. – Comments (9)

After a good exercise, I find that nothing beats getting a Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Camaron Cockteles). For those unaware of such a creation, it is not unlike a traditional shrimp cocktail, except the Mexicans put these shrimps in a more of a soup like base than a cocktail sauce on the side. Similar taste but [...]
