Looking for Mexican Food

[fourblueye]

Do they have a place here that sells Mexican Food?

Thanks!

[Jerry S]

Cancun. LOL! Sorry, I could not resist.
The only Mexican fare that I have seen on Guana is the microwaveable frozen packaged stuff at Guana Harbour Grocery or Sea Shore Gifts. You never know though, times are a changin!

[SamFamAustin]

Yes but you've got most of the ingredients for fish tacos, right? Oh man, catch a mahi-mahi and BBQ it and chip it up into a taco with a little peppers and stuff and you're there. The California version has some cabbage, onion, and sour cream in it. The spices are cilantro and chili powder and whatever. You might need to bring your own tortillas. Theyre quite addicting.

[Seaglass]

No Mexican, but we have Chinese now!

[maryg]

where the Solid Gold Restaurant is/was on the airport rd, told today it was very good?

[Seaglass]

I should have added that Maryg....that the meal we had was very good!

[Norman Clature]

Mexican in the Abacos?! I don't care who you are...that is down right priceless!

Pat, remember when I made those hot dog enchiladas for you and Maggie?! :D

[elcahun]

My Taco Bell franchise is in the approval process...

"Rolled Tacos in Paradise" was the B side of that Buffet song...

[P2Pooz]

Hotdog enchiladas.....it that kind of like spaghetti with catsup sauce.....eeeeew.

[AbacoPeach]

Believe it or not, they were pretty good! You have to improvise in Abaco sometimes.

When I bring my Mexican son-in-law to Abaco next time we'll have him cook. Of course, he will be frying up some fish he might catch. . . would that be Mexican food??!! Sorry, couldn't help myself either. Come to Arizona for some truly great Mexican food in the States. Tucson has fantastic little restaurants.

[elcahun]

If I want California food, I now visit Baja...

[Ellis]

Sapodillys has great fish tacos!

[FlaFam0415]

Fish Taco? Now that conjures up a LOT :D

Yep Cathy, Tuscon has some really great Mexican restaurants! There is one in particular that is the best. I can never remember the name, but it's something like Casa de Coza. There are actually 2 locations and the one we frequented was in The Santa Rita Hotel. Haven't been there in 5 years but a year or so ago, Rachel Ray was in Tuscon and sure enough, she featured that restaurant on $40 a Day! I can't wait to get back there!

As far as Mexican food in the Abacos, we found flour tortillas, hot peppers, cabbage, limes, and sour cream at Solomon's. I'm not sure if we found cilantro. We brought Panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and Tapatio Hot Sauce from home so all we had to do was catch some fish. Rick did and we feasted on some of the best fish tacos anywhere!

Hey Tina,

Peg says that you can probably get a live cilantro plant at Pine Woods Nursery in MH. You really should have the cilantro for Mexican salsa and tacos. I've never had a "California" fish taco (with cabbage), but I'm very willing to try one.

Talk about food always gets people going, doesn't it?

We love the chicken and conch quesadillas at the jib room.

[PatW]

Jeff, I bet you can get some at BB......;)

I sure do remember! Best hot dog enchiladas I ever had in my life! I'm serious!

Probably the only hot dog enchiladas you have ever had! LOL

Hi Bruce & Peg,

That's great, we'll definitely stop there while provisioning in MH and plant it wherever we stay, I'm sure the owners won't mind!

Yep, they're yummy with finely shredded cabbage. Also I mix 2 parts sour cream with one part mayo and then add some fresh lime juice and some chili powder for a sauce, it is so good. Of course you also need some kind of hot pepper sauce too.

It's only 10:30 in the morning and I'm thinking I may have to make some fish tacos!

Tina

[SamFamAustin]

You folks are killin' me! There's nothing like making your own fish taco and getting it "just" right. Ooh, and like warming that tortilla just perfect. I bet you could sneak just a little bit of conch in there if you wanted something a little different ... :)

[cristy]

Mangoes has fajitas on their menu- far from authentic, but not bad if you're really craving Mexican.
ElCahun, was that true about the Taco Bell franchise or did I not get the joke? :)

[Moderator365]

Hot dog enchiladas, fish tacos, conch quesadillas, California tingums with cabbage -- aye Chihuahua! My mouth is watering. How about sharing some recipes?

[watertoots]

We found cilantro at the fish market down aways from Vernons, past munchies, and next door to the liquor store in Hoptetown, sorry dont remember name of store but I am sure someone on this board can tell exactly where it is if need be.
I was soooo excited to have fresh cilantro becuase i did not find it at Solomons in Marsh Harbour.
Back to the cottage on lubbers, fired up the grill for the fish, chopped my peppers, fresh garlic,onions, tomatoes, squeezed some lime , had a few drinks only because I was Sooo excited about the cilantro, and then OOOOOH NOOOOO I forgot to pack the tortillas in our rolling cooler we carried on.
After eyeing that wonderful rich butter and a bag of frozen shrimp that we bought at Solomons Grocery, a little rum drink or two........ the Lime/Cilantro/Pepper Scampi was born!
Cooking in Paradise can be fun!

(apologies to Jimmy Buttet)

I like mine with cabbage and cilantro,

Red chili salsa and dollop of guaco.

Fresh corn tortilla and a cold margarita.

I just can’t wait till my sweet senorita

Makes me, fish tacos in Abaco.
