Finally, a taco stand with vegetarian possibilities.

I love Mexican food.

No surprise there, considering the number of times I catch myself talking about tacos everyday. The beauty of the taco is in the simplicity and the versatility to carry within its soft and sweet folds any combination of meat, veggies or dairy products. On the main highway headed from Mahahual to Chetumal, there are little goat tacos, tacos de borrego. The owners raise the little animals out back and their overseer is a little monkey on a chain. To be sure that nothing is wasted, you can order eye tacos, brain tacos, tongue tacos, liver tacos. Don't worry about the texture or flavor, you can just drown the chewy organs in spicy salsa. Meat is disgusting, though unfortunately, it still looks like food to me at times. I'm thankful to the new taqueria for their sauted mushroom taco.
