TAKING ON MONTEZUMA'S REVENGE - 2014

The colloquial term for any cases of traveler's diarrhea contracted by tourists visiting Mexico. The name humorously refers to Moctezuma II, the ruler of the Aztec civilization who was defeated and slaughtered by Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador. The white Spainiards would then continue to enslave or obliterate the Aztec people. It is said that whenever a white person has diarrhoea while visiting Mexico, he is suffering the wrath of Montezuma's revenge.
During my time in Mexico i shall be taking on Aztec ruler Montezuma with a taco tour to rival the best. Sunny & Rio Chenery will also be rating our eats with our foolproof 5 star system! Points are gained for quality of Tortilla, Salsas, Sauces, Quality of produce & overall presentation. 

We went straight into the eye of the storm with our first stop being a real taco on the street. Sunny was particularly keen to have is favoured fried fish taco so we went to this stall on the street in Sayulita for our first taco review of the trip. These tacos came with traditional cabbage, tomato and lettuce, the sauces were good and the fish was straight from the fryer. Sunny thought the batter was a little soft and the fish a little sguidgy for his liking which is reflected in his scores. Overall a good first tasting which i enjoyed immensely with all the joviality of a true taco novice!

RATINGS:
Sunny.C 2.5/5
Alice.W: 3/5
Rio.C (yet to arrive)
