Tacos in Tuxpan, Veracruz

In the end, I could show you hundreds of images of tacos from all over and they all make look the same but these tacos here in Tuxpan had a more orange color to the meat. And this color comes from the different marination of the meat, which is what makes each pastor taco its distinctive flavor. This taco place, called The 2 Friends is located right in the center of town. Very small town, you can cross the entire place in 10 minutes or less. A beach town with undeveloped beach properties, a huge electric complex from the government and also, oil town and the Rio Tuxpan runs through it. Still, quite picturesque and quiet. A complex with large houses and a brand new movie theater. 

The flavor for these tacos was exquisite, I had about 8 of them. Really hungry after lounging and swimming in the pool from the Holiday Inn, probably the fanciest hotel in town, its wonderful architecture is the most original for this region, take a look: 

The town is also a fishing town, great fresh sea food available and quite affordable.
So, if you are in search for an affordable place, there are other hotels that are quite affordable like the Tuxpan Hotel located right by the river. Nice wide rooms with a view of the river, ask for those views cause otherwise they might give you a room in the back with no view! 

In other words, Tuxpan is where I would like to retire, its gradual change is so slow and passive that very few things will change in the next 20 years. You can still feel it when you walk the streets, they know you are not from there. My cousins live here and they are known as the family that owns 2 BMWs. Or my cousin's husband is one of the best pediatricians you will find here so, that's how a reputation is built in a smaller community. 

Next week I'll be back in DF, trying out new tacos. Stay put!!!
