Posts: 6519Al Capone next to Chicago open 24/7
Wednesday night was cold and windy, went in Al Capone for its Caldo de Rez, chunks of beef shank with fresh vegetables in hot light broth. It was a full hot meal, delicious, served with rice, tortilla and salsa, Wed special for 65 pesos or $3.50.
Al Capone is now open 24/7. They deliver to hotels in La Zona with special menus for each day of the week. The daily special menu has some items looking interesting, including a water and dessert, but I only know the Caldo de Rez as good and tasty. Will have to order other items to find out. I don't think Azuls and Monaco are open 24/7. Hotel Leyva has its own restaurant serving fixed meals for 35 pesos, but it never seems to have any clients.
The breakfast menu is 100 pesos or $5, including a coffee or tea. All restaurants in La Zona, including Azuls and La Perla, serve weak, tasteless instant coffee, not worth it. For strong, brewed coffee, walked out to the OXXO across from Adelita and buy a large one for 50 pesos. I need that hot strong coffee to wake up in the morning after a long night of drinking, partying and popping chicas.

Posts: 6519UBER from Hong Kong to Churrascaria do Brasil
Last Saturday we were trying to go from HK to Mr. Pampas. The taxi assholes quoted us $10 and told us to walk. We flagged down a Libre taxi and he agreed to go for $5. I hate to deal with the taxi assholes.
UBER from HK to Mr Pampas or churrascaria pn Ave LOS Heroes is only 44 pesos or $2.20 plus $1 tip.
There is rumor HK will open tomorrow Friday. Lets go these weekend to play with pretty chicas and partake AYC eat Brazilian grilled meats and seafood.

Posts: 6519Noobs with La Zona's street food
I took a few noobs to La Zona in the last few trips; some were connoisseurs in food, girls and the good life.
They all enjoyed street around the bar block food a lot, shrimp coctele, caldo de rez, tacos Al Vapor, carne asada, shrimp quesadilla, even hot dogs. They raved the food was fresh, tasty delicious. Mexicans add salsa to all their meat dishes. The acidity in lime juice and tomato would balance out the fat and proteins, make the food tastier and more digestible.
Late last Saturday one noob wanted to try Mr Pampas, but when we arrived around 9:30 PM the 2 locations were both closed. We drove by Churrascaria do Brasil on Ave. LOS Heroes and saw about 2 dozens clients dining inside, but thought they would close at 10 so we passed. Just found out Churass do Brasil opens until midnight and would seat people until 11:45 PM. We would try the main restaurant at Hippodromo, only 1 or 2 miles South. Also drove by Taco El Franc on Ave LOS Heroes with a crowd. Will stop here so the noobs can try tacos with tongue and tripa ect.
Seafood in Tijuana is very fresh. I usually start the night with a cup of blanched shrimp coctele at the school yard corner, or half dozen raw oysters at the place on Constitucion South of hotel Irma. They also serve a tasty shrimp soup and beers, or you can bring your own drinks and give them a tip. A wingman brought his own Tabasco pepper sauce and other condiments to complement his raw oyster.
Mariscos Titos has half a dozen franchises in Tijuana, serving sea food tacos and some very interesting dishes, like whole grilled rock fish. We looked at the exotic concoctions ordered by people but could not read the menu worth a damn. I usually go to the branch on O'Campo and Calle 6. Titos branch on Calle 1 is small and smells like dead fish, reminding me too much of a few girls in La Zona hehe.
I like seafood soups with fresh ingredients and subtle flavors, like French Bouillabaisse or Italian Cioppino. Mexican 7-mares soup tends to have too much strong spices, masking off seafood flavor. I don't like too much carb so Paella with rice is not my favorite.
I avoid the menudo stands as their soups are bland and usually have unbearable cow dung odors.
The noobs mentioned Tijuana is worth the drive, even just for the food. Hot, flirty girls just add more fun to our quick, sexy vacations.

Looks like Churass do Brasil at Hippodromo mall has a discount 265 pesos everyday open until midnight; the new place on Ninos has it only Monday through Thursday.
Premium beers are only $2, very good deals.
Jackie should take his ass out of La Zona's gutter and check it out.

Posts: 6519Churrascaria do Brasil is now better than Mr. Pampas?
Saturday night we decided to go to Mr. Pampas late, arrived about 9:40 PM, supposedly had 20 minutes for dinner, but found both Mr. Pampas' locations closed early.
We told the taxi driver to find Churrascaria do Brasil on Ave de Ninos. When we arrived there were still about 20 people dining inside, but by the time the taxi made you turn and went back, we decided it was too late, so went back to La Zona and went to Al Capone for Caldo de Rez instead.
Mr. Pampas was closed early likely due to lack of business, meanwhile Churras do Brasil seemed to flourish. Locals probably know where the better deals are. Had to promise the bros to do Churras do Brasil early next time.

Posts: 732Even more Paella
I found a small Paella place that had what I've been looking for. El Arte Paella off Agua Caliente. No seating just take out. Young owner, nice guy. The meal included salad and bread.
It had a bed of brown rice w peas thrown in and red onions, pollo, big chunks of pork, almejas, large shrimp, bordering on being longestinos, calamari, chicharros, and mejillones.
I took it to my hotel room and pigged out. Cost 199 pesos.

Posts: 657Wichos are high-protein grasshopper snacks made in Mexico. . . Bugs, the new fad?
Fancy a tasty, healthy, high-protein, high-fiber snack that is environmentally-friendly and uniquely Mexican? Two Mexican entrepreneurs, Erika Gil Gutiérrez and Magali Díaz García, are the brains behind Winko, a company that has been selling the crunchy chapulín snacks for the past year. "Mexico has a wide variety of edible insects, and they're also part of our culture. We thought it was a good idea to experiment with them to see how we could offer a product that is healthy, of good quality, tasty and which nourishes. . . People and doesn't just satisfy their craving. . . " Gil said. "Of all the insects we looked at, the grasshopper was the one with the greatest quantity of protein for the lowest cost," Gil said.
Díaz added that satisfying protein needs by eating grasshoppers is more environmentally-friendly than the consumption of farmed meat. . .
In other news, EU Gives Go-Ahead For Eating Worms.
In coming months the agency hopes to approve all kinds of other bugs to be sold as meals, including the lesser mealworm, house cricket, banded cricket, black soldier fly, honeybee drone and a type of locust.
"Currently, the EU is heavily reliant on the importation of feedstuffs, but the disruption in the past few months with the coronavirus outbreak has made it increasingly apparent that we must look to make our agriculture more self-sustainable," he said.
"Insects can be produced locally and are a highly nutritious, protein-rich foodstuff that can be produced in high quantities in a small area," he added. . . The craze for eating insects stems from UN guidelines that "promote insects as a sustainable high-protein food. " This is why globalist publications like the Economist have been promoting the idea of eating bugs despite the fact that the kind of elitists who read it would never consider for a second munching on crickets or mealworms. Unsurprisingly, restaurants are not seeing a big uptake for worm burgers, otherwise known as 'bug macs', or cricket based cuisine. . "
