Tacos La Mexicana

Ok, its time for the next street restaurant report, this time the place was a Carnicería/Restaurant called 'La Mexicana' located in the very center of Monterrey, behind the Alameda. It even has its own Parking Lot in front of it.

The place looks a lot like the 'El Chavo' Neighborhood, you get to feel the folklore all around you and the place is constantly packed. The concept is quite simple. They sell what we here in Mexico call Sweat Tacos, but they have them stored on baskets, even the menu is not so wide, they just have Chicharron, Morcon, Deshebrada, Frijol, and Carnitas... Deshebrada and Carnitas being the best tasting ones. Most of the tables you have to eat standing up and in the middle of the table you have a huge bucket of Salsa. And on a curious note, they have the menu on the wall with red lightbulbs by the side, if they go out of one of them the lightbulb is turned off.

Overall the place is a MUST VISIT highly recommended, but be sure to be really hungry when you go, cause you will eat at least 6+ tacos. Here are the pictures.

UP, Another brilliant creation?

The movie has yet to open for the public in general, however, many critics have already seen the film and most of them are stunned by the brilliant movie... I think after watching WALL-E its going to be hard to rate this one as a better one, however, that is the first thing critics are saying...

"As an avid lover of Wall-E, I felt Pixar could never reach those heights again... I was wrong"

"The first 5 minutes demolished every other Pixar feature"

" The overall look of the film, puts every other animation studio to shame."

" A near perfect feature, a thrilling combination of humour, pathos, action and drama, it may well be Pixar's finest feature yet."

" As of May, Best Picture of the Year"


The top 3 movies in the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) have ratings of 9.1, 9.1 and 9.0... the first ratings of the movie have it in 9.3!!! Obviously this will change as more people see the film, however it looks like it is another amazing achievement by PIXAR... Im sure its going to be as great as they promise it to be... cant wait to see it...

Here is a special sneak preview at Dug the talking Dog

Tortas La Purisima

I had heard about this Tortas for some time now at work, but I had never had the opportunity to go and try one until last week, when I went with a couple of Colleagues and boy was I satisfied. Supposedly this Tortas have been around for like 30 or 40 years and it is said that they sell aroun 1500 Tortas DAILY!!!

The ingredients are simple yet brilliant, two pork ham slices, two cheese slices, two pork ham and cheese slices, a huge ass bread, and a whole avocado... thats right, one avocado per Torta its amazing how much avocado they do per serving... some other notes, they dont use plates, you have both your hands for that, a delicious yet really spicy salsa verde, and of course its in the street so there are pigeons on the floor who eat whatever falls of your Torta... Quite decent prices also for such a big meal 40 pesos per torta...

Tortas la Purisima as been LANKURIOSIDAD approved. Talk to me for more info... here are some pictures for you:

Transformers 2 Revenge Of The Fallen

NOW THIS IS A TRAILER!!! After watching the GI JOE one, I got to watch the Transformers sequel trailer, and although it seems like they are introducing some new transformers that are animal like (which I dont like that much) its still a Michael Bay film and it looks awesome! At first I thought that they had cast another actress for Megan Fox's role, but after I researched its still her, she just looks different now...

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Ive been waiting for this trailer to come out, and to be completely honest, I did not like it that much, I think it looks woo unreal, and not so attractive... I hope when I see the movie I change my mind, cause I am a big GIJOE fan....
