Those of you who have followed my blog in the past will remember my posts about our group lunches. This was Ruth’s idea and she is still enthusiastically running it. The premise was to visit as many different restaurants in Mazatlan as we could over the course of the winter. Everyone would write a restaurant choice on a slip of paper and every week we would draw a choice out of a hat. For me this was an excellant chance to see more of Mazatlan and it’s restaurants.
Today we went to Pancho’s on the beach as a now traditional start to the season. So….
It is 11:30 am and we are gathered up front waiting to see who will come for lunch. Ordinarily Ruth makes a reservation and you have to say whether you are coming or not. As Pancho’s does not take reservations it didn’t matter today. We were too many for a red truck so we all hopped on the Green Bus.
We got off at the Panadaria and trooped down the street to Pancho’s.
Pancho’s is up ahead on the left and you can just see their sign in the upper left. It was really busy on the street so there is probably a cruise ship docked. When the cruise ships were not coming to Mazatlan the streets were quite empty.
We were twelve today so we sat at three tables of four each. It was very busy but we managed to get seated upstairs and were started off with chips and salsa and a shot of tequilla.
I’d ordered a Pina Colada and Sandi a mango margarita, not sure what Jeri’s drink is. If I’d remembered the complimentary drinks here I probably would have just had water. They also bring you a liquer in milk with ice at the end of the meal and it was way too hot for me for that much alcohol but….I suffered through it!
There were two ladies with us that I don’t know and Diane is talking to one of them.
Anita, Jeannette, Nancy and Ruth have received their food.
Looking out through the windows to the beach.
Three of us had the avocado shrimp salad and it was delicious.
Sandi had the shrimp and had to take half of it home.
Diane’s table got their food except for Diane who they missed. Luckily the other ladies shared but by the time she got her food she just sent it back. Too bad.
Looking out over the upstairs balcony to the beach.
It was a good lunch and everyone had a good time but….it is still way to hot and everyone was tired and sweaty. Some of us hopped in a red truck and headed home. Too hot for shopping today.
Next week…..?
