My Bday!

So a few weeks ago I celebrated my eeek..."insert # here" birthday!! It was not a milestone so wasn't a huge ass party or anything.

I've celebrated many birthdays here in Cancun, heck, Mexico. However, this one was just a tiny bit different. I was SICK!!! I woke up on the morning of my bday in a great mood. Hubby went to Starbucks for me (that never happens!!), and I was ready for a great day....then it crept up on me. I was getting sick. Hubby called my Dr. who was busy, and ended up finding another that could get me in. Went to the Docs' and was sent for some tests, and we were on our way home.

Anyways, I told hubby I really didn't want to go anywhere as I wasn't feeling great, but he insisted that we had to be somewhere at 6 that evening. Fiiiiiiine, I said. Anyways, to my pleasant surprise he made us a dinner reservation to a restaurant I've been dying to try "Limoncellos'. It's an Italian restaurant on the lagoon, and is actually owned by the same people who own "Lorenzillo's", which argueably happens to be the best seafood restaurant in Cancun. He had a table reserved on the water, and the most beautiful bouquet waiting for me!!

We ordered calamari to start....omg, mouth watering in a pomodoro sauce...mmm... and shared the "Catch of the Day". Grouper. It was okay, but the pasta and risotto it came with - to die for!!! I loooove Italian food, and really can't wait to go back. Hope hubbs reads this. LOL.

What a night...great food, great company, and excellent wine!! LOL!!!

Thanks for a great night hubbs!!!

Quieres comer??!!!

I was thinking today, what should I blog about? Then it popped into my head, a little hidden treasure we have here in Cancun. Now a girl from Alberta Canada would not be bragging about beef in Mexico, if she really didn’t find it THAT good. It’s THAT good J

I don’t know what the name of the restaurant is, and yes, we are frequent visitors – take out, and sit down. As a matter of fact, when hubby took me there a few years ago for my first time there were only 3 or 4 tables to be had. Today, they have expanded to about 25 tables on the first floor alone. In the evenings, they even have outdoor seating on some nights!!! Hubby and I have always called it the “Uruguayan restaurant”– I think that’s why we have never bothered paying attention to the actual name. All of our friends call it that as well. Why would we need to bother learning the name? Anyways, it’s close ITLA (Instituto Tecnologico de Las Americas), and near Las Torres.

Next time I’m there I’ll be sure to take a photo of the food. It’s very simple, and yet tastes sooooo good. I usually order a steak – this is served with a HUGE piece of meat seasoned to perfection, and a salad that has a “secret” dressing on it (always order extra) – all served on a wooden cutting board. YUUUMMMMY. Now they don’t have a huge wine selection, but it’s good enough for this chicita. Also, they like many restaurants here in Cancun take cash only. My meal is about 120 pesos, and it’s about 150 for a bottle of a Santa Rita Cab. Not bad if you ask me!!!!

So again, for a great meal, at a FANTASTIC price – check this place out if and when you get a chance!!!!
