Buenos días Tangerineys! What's up guys! We are currently sitting here eating
breakfast at a new place in Ajijic. Well, new to us, it's not new I don't think.
[Laughter] It's called David's Cafe. It's on Avenida Hidalgo,
So pretty close to El Centro.
Yeah, we came here two days ago, I think? We really liked it, and thought
Everything was like a good price and good portions. And really good quality as
well. Like I got bacon and it was the really think kind of bacon, which you
don't get that often. So we thought we would show you guys this place
because, if you're in town, we recommend it. So we just finished our breakfast at
David's Cafe. And mine was 69 (pesos) for the breakfast, and 29 for my espresso. And I
got a cappuccino for 39. It looks so cool with it moving!
Oh my gosh! I've always wanted a drink that looked
like this. It's super cool, I've never seen one like this!
And the eggs benedict were 89 (pesos). The last time we were there, I got like this plate
with chilaquiles, and eggs, and beans, and it was 69. Super filling! Really tasty!
Yeah, really good portions and the prices are very reasonable on the whole menu. Most
of the options are 69 pesos, with just a few of them that are more than that. And
so we talked to the owner of this place, and we're gonna be able to hook you guys up.
We thought to do this in the first place, because in our $10 challenge, we went to
the restaurant Pilar's for breakfast where they serve you a plate of
home-cooked, delicious food! [Laughter]
And after that, apparently a bunch of you guys went
there! She was so excited that so many people checked out her restaurant, she
chased us down the street one day. [Laughter] Literally. Literally.
When we were going by there. And she was like "oh my
gosh! You featured my restaurant in a video!" All in Spanish, of course. But she
was so grateful, and so happy that she gifted us free breakfast. Which was such
an unexpected, nice treat! Like we - We don't include restaurants to get
anything out of it, but in this case, we thought it'd be really cool to hook you
guys up. So we talked to the owner and asked if he wanted to offer some
discount for you Tangerineys who want to come to the restaurant. He said if
it's your first time in, he'll give you a 10% discount if you mention Tangerine Travels.
We are really excited! We just picked something up!
Excited! Oh gosh. We wanted to be a little
professional, for once, and get some business cards made. Maddie did the design.
Of our business cards! We went to this place in town here in Ajijic called Siker. When
we first went in, the process was pretty simple. We gave them the file on a flash
drive, they printed it out as a test, we signed
off on it. Unfortunately, when we went back the first time, the design got messed up.
So they offered to let us keep them for half the price. We opted with having them
reprint them, because this is our first business cards. We really wanted the
design that we created! A couple days later, the new ones were ready. They did
it for free, they corrected it for free. Yeah, and we got 1,000 business
cards and it was 185 pesos.
Pretty nice. Got a little glossy coat to them.
And these are single sided ones, I'm guessing
that double-sided ones would be a little bit more expensive. But we wanted the
backside to be able to write on. So anyway, this is silly, but we're excited
about it! [Laughter] Finally we can give someone a business card! So we're thinking about
doing t-shirts with Laska wearing sunglasses, what do you guys think? What do you guys think? [Laughter]
Also, we forgot to mention. With David's Cafe, we're not being sponsored. But we
sort of realized that we could take the opportunities to both help local
restaurants and sort of give you guys something cool too!
All over our Ajijic, there are lightpoles and things like that painted.
And of course, on the walls too, there's murals. It seems like just
neighborhood contributions that people can pick a pole and paint it. I've always
been curious about that. Do you need permission to do it? Or can you just go
right ahead? Because personally, I have an art background. Which I've never
mentioned before in any video, I don't think. I used to be in advanced art
classes, and did it my free time as well. So I think that'd be cool to maybe do if
it's allowed, but yeah, maybe if you guys know, let us know! So we've said it before,
We'll say it again. That's one of the many things we love about Ajijic.
All that art, and paintings, and stuff. It really gives a city a lot of vibrancy!
And personality, and it's sort of like everyone gets to leave their mark a little bit.
Oh my gosh, those are the cutest shoes!
We should get some for Laska. Yes! Tiny shoes
for Laska! Doggy, what are you doing? Laska. Okay fine, walk away.
Look at how ornate the doors are!
This might be one of the most elaborate murals that we've seen in Ajijic. And
what I Iguana-know ("Wanna know" word play) Is how long it took to make it. It's huge!
If I had a business or a home here, I would want to find this artist to paint
A mural there. Yeah. Because this is amazing!
Wow!
So right now we're at the Lake Chapala Society. A bunch of
people have recommended that we go here. There's lots of events going on. We walked
By this place so many times, and there's people selling like fruit and stuff right out front.
I thought it was
just a restaurant back here, but we never really went in. But there's so many
plants, and flowers, and art, scuptures like this one right here!
Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's kind of like a sanctuary
back here, as someone described it.
We're here on the Ajijic Malecon, or well right next to it.
And there's all these tables with vendors.
There's one here that's selling incense, and jewelry, and things like that.
Well back when we were in Guanajuato City, our hosts had incense going all
the time, and I always thought it was really relaxing. We also like diffusing
essential oils but I feel like this is kind of a similar thing. We're gonna try
it out! It's three boxes we could pick, and it's 30 pesos.
And then for the... I don't know what you call this?
Stand? The incense holder, stick. [Laughter]
Also 30, so 60 for both of these.
Both? Both 4 of them? Both, like the 3, and then this. [Laughter]
Anyway, as you can
also see, Jordan's holding some drinks. We found a promotion for two for 50? Yep.
Cantaritos. Pretty good! So yeah, we're having a great Saturday!
Just meandering around, seeing what we can find. Seeing what we can do. I
don't think you're gonna be able to tell how big this moth is from this camera
But holy crap! Please don't fly in my face! Oh my gosh, it's so big!
On our walk back form Ajijic Centro, there was this truck driving by
With this super entertaining, but pretty annoying, thing playing over a loudspeaker. He
was selling this fruit called "Tuna." Like the fish, except it's a fruit. Of a cactus. And he was selling
three pounds or three kilos, which is like 6.6 pounds for 20 pesos. That's a
freaking lot! (the weight, not the price.) But then, I had this idea!
Let me know what you guys think! So the
idea, million peso idea. Is that we would drive around in my very dirty, but trusty
Tangerine car here, with tangerines that we would be selling. And then we would
have our good friend Emma, who has the most awesome
radio voice, radio personality voice. Say on the loudspeaker [Our husky, Laska, talking]
Our "loudspeaker" recording: "Lleves sus manderinas a
Cinco pesos la bolsa. Cinco pesos le cuesta, cinco patos le vale. Llevela
Para el jugo, para el refrigerio, para la comida.
Llevela, llevela. Mandarinas, cinco pesos la bolsa." Laska talking. [end of loudspeaker recording]
And we'd be selling tangerines! We're
thinking of taking like the MoviePass business model - Buying them for six pesos,
selling them for five pesos, and making it up on volume! [Laughter]
Yeah, let us know what you guys
think. We were thinking, it could be kind of fun
Buying tangerines out of a tangerine-colored car, with tangerine loudspeakers
shenanigans. 100-peso idea! [Laughter]
We came to San Antonio for dinner. A place we've
been once before. This place is called Frida - I thought it was Frida Tacos?
But it says "Frida Restaurante." On Google Maps it's listed as Tacos Frida. So last time we got
tacos, they were 14 pesos and really good! Super good! Also, I recently asked in
a Facebook group if anyone knew, in town, were the best place to get Café de Olla
is? And we may have found it!
Thanks to our new friend Larry. Thank you for
introducing us to this restaurant! We're super excited! All the tacos, except for
the seafood ones, are fourteen pesos. But the most expensive plate is 60 pesos.
And they do have a combo for breakfast that's: juice, coffee, tortillas, eggs,
for 80 pesos. So, pretty affordable place.
And also, they seem to be pretty
good about my allergies as well with onions and whatnot. So
yeah. And this is my favorite Cafe de Olla that I've had!
I still think Los Chilaquiles in Guadalajara was, but this is
still very good!
So that's either their veggie, or a vegan taco. But it's still really
good! Could've fooled me.
I was a little bit confused by the elote
tamal option. Because tamales are made from masa, which is corn. So it's like
corn flavored? I was thinking maybe it was just masa. Plain masa or something. But it
was actually really good! Like sweet creamed corn in a very, pretty
significant tamal.
