Limon is Spanish for key limes. The limonade is made from fresh squeezed key lime juice, sugar and water. Los Fresnos has perfected the optimum ratio of juice, sugar and water. They put this salsa on the chips and then squeeze lime juice on it. Today, they brought us guacamole also and we had guacamole, salsa and lime juice on our chips as shown in this photo.
For my lunch, I had Shrimp Veracruzana. The shrimp were cooked into a mildly spicy red sauce with peppers, green olives, carrots, chyote (a delicious green vegetable) and onions. It was very good.
For dinner tonight we went to Pacifica which is a local Mexican seafood place. I had “Trini” shrimp. The shrimp are cooked in a sauce that was explained as a traditional Mexican style sauce. When they brought it to the table, I was concerned. As you can see in this photo, the sauce looked almost like mud, but it was actually quite good. This photo was taken after I had already eaten two of the shrimp.
I fly back to St. Louis tomorrow afternoon. I go back to “regular” food then.
PS. One correction on yesterday´s dinner: The appetizer was Artichoke Formagio. It was the best artichoke and spinich dip ever.

I would love to try some of the limonade! I'm not sure I would be brave enough to try the shrimp, though. That looks kind of gross. I'm glad it tasted good.
Love,

That food all looks so good. I want to try the shrimp. You need to figure out some more recipes. The fajita one has become such a favorite and now I want the shrimp and the artichoke dip one too.
Now I want to travel to Monterey Mexico. The food looks very tasty, and I love key limes.
That sauce looks like mole poblano. When I stayed in Mexico one summer our "mom" made it for us. Very delicious.
I need to stop reading your blog when i'm hungry. My tummy is growling at me for something shrimpy. But right now I must figure out a mole sauce cause I think Becky is right and that mud is really a delicious mole sauce on those tasty shrimps.
