Left the snow behind in New York today for sea, sand, sunshine and tacos.

Here are the shy, smiley women of Taqueria Don Beto, cutting up oranges for fresh orange juice on the side of the main highway from Cancun airport to Tulum.

Chris and I made a beeline here in our little white rented car and arrived just as they were closing to feast on the dregs of cochinita pibil, a traditional Mexican slow-roasted pork dish, which, in this case, is served in flour tacos on the side of the road.

breakfast of champions, people who work from home and the unemployed

I convinced Jason (“the unemployed”) that we should stop by Tacombi for breakfast tacos again this morning. It wasn’t difficult seeing that it’s our new favorite place in the city. The chorizo con huevos breakfast tacos, which are made with scrambled eggs, spicy sausage and potatoes topped with a wedge of avocado and spicy sauce is so good, as is the simple corn muffins served with butter and jam. Complete the meal with fresh horchata. Hell, we’ll probably be back tomorrow. It’s nice to work from home and take lunch hour at breakfast.
