Ladies Lunch at Chayito

Friday, Feb. 22nd. 
Today's lunch venue was Chayito's a nice Mexican style restaurant just north of the Golden Zone.  We ate here last year and....it was very good.  

Waiting for the bus!

Chayito

 Sue, Sandi and Robyn intently listening to....?

    Hmmm.....what shall Maureen and Eddie order for lunch?

  Ruth does love to laugh and something has tickled her funny bone here!   That is my mango         margarita....I just about always order a pina colada but today I decided to try something different.  It was delicious.

Lil, another Ruth and Connie have a chat while we wait for food.

This is a tostada and they came in beef, chicken or shrimp.

Lunch at our end of the table came with a bowl of roasted peppers.  These are Chili Caribe and although they are spicy they aren't killer hot.

We were a large group today and they had a full slate of waiters to serve us.  The fellow on the right is the " main man" and he is dry and funny!

Sue ordered the pork pozole soup and it is something I looked at and couldn't decide if I'd like it.  She said it was one of the best she'd ever eaten.  Next time!

They do their tortilla soup a bit different here.  You get a bowl of tortilla slices and a plate with peppers, avocado and cheese and then...

....you get a pitcher of spicy broth to pour over the tortilla strips.   Then...you can add whatever you want.  Delicious!

I ordered the tortilla soup and a shrimp tostada.  I really only needed the soup and the tostada was good except for the shrimp which were a bit over cooked and salty.  No matter, I just ate the salad!

That is one big burger that Ruth (Lil's friend) ordered and no....she couldn't finish it.

Lil ordered some sort of taco with meat in it and here she's adding the fixings.

Everyone happily munching a wide array of dishes.

I missed the plate of nachos at our end of the table and by the time I noticed and took a picture they were almost gone!  Ruth at our end had a tosdada and ordered tortilla soup as well.  In the end she couldn't eat the soup and had them box it up for her.  I told her she couldn't have any dessert but she didn't listen and got a piece of guava pie!  The head waiter brought out the dessert cart and then just plunked different pies down all over the table and the ladies started eating.  Sorry I forgot to take more photos.  I shared a piece of chocolate cake topped with flan with Robyn.  Good but not great.  The guava pie was yummy!

Another successful lunch and everyone left with full tummies!  A good place for lunch any day of the week.   Next week "Lucky B's" in the Golden Zone.
