Mexico is one of the few countries I feel very connected to for many different reasons, not to mention that I lived there for a while in the past. Actually, before I decided to move there for a while, I had visited the country twice through two different exchange-programs (in highschool and university) Now, you can imagine the way I feel for Me-hi-co.
Something about the country is definitely addictive. I think it might be the mixture of its beautiful weather, friendly people (except for those "naco"s -sorry!), great music and "antro"s and most importantly its DELICIOUS cuisine.
Mexico is a relatively big country and each region has its own special type of food that they are well known for. Unfortunately, despite the amount of time I spent in Mexico, I still haven't been able to try them all but I do know my favourite is "Tacos de Adobadas". (Photos attached!)
So, right by the place I used to live in Mexico, there was a local taco stand owned by 4 sisters. I used to call them my "dear taco ladies". ;-) As adventurous as I am, I tried many different taco stands and local restaurants to find the best taco place. It was probably one of the biggest silly personal goals I had during my stay in Mexico apart from trying to figure out the titles of new "hot" reggaeton songs played in "antros"(clubs) with my best team-mate of all, AMD! haha (we all have those secretive/almost nerdy personal things going on most of the time, right? or is it just me?! lol)
Anyway, I wasn't sure and am still not sure what these 4 sisters did to the tacos but their tacos were just so amazing!! The taste of meat was amazing, their homemade salsa was delicious and they had the best smiles of all at all times. By the time I had to leave Mexico, I knew I wasn't going to be able to find any tacos like that anywhere else in the world, and that my taco ladies were the best in the field of making good tacos (esp. tacos de adobadas).
The last day of my stay in Mexico, these four ladies and I exchanged e-mail addresses with tears. By the way, only one of them had an e-mail account. This morning I received an e-mail from one of the taco sisters, Leti. It's been almost 6 months since I spoke to her last. It was a lovely surprise.
We randomly meet so many people everyday and we sometimes underestimate how great those "random" encounters can turn into something wonderful and bring us some unexpected joy and laughter!
Oh how I miss you those scrumptious tacos de adobadas and my "dear taco ladides"!!! Un besote (a big kiss)!!! xxx
