Not Really A Trip Report, New Pix Added 2/25

This will mainly be photos, without a lot of commentary and probably mostly photos of food. Over the last 12 years of vacationing in the Riviera Maya my wife and I have done most all of the touristy things...ruins, snorkeling, zip lines, etc. and now our trips are mainly about relaxation. We do try to eat healthy food at home, but on vacation food for us is a big part of the experience and we will eat just about anything.
 
Briefly, our vacation so far...arrived Monday, stayed 4 days at Hotel Del Sol on HMB, moved here to Puerto Morelos yesterday (Friday) and will be here until the 13th.
Note: My laptop charger has been fading in and out, so I will post when it and time allows.
 
Early sunrise our first full day on HMB.

 
Breakfast our first morning was from what we call trunk food sold out of the trunk of a car on HMB
 

 
We each had one chicken salbute and one ground beef empanada, yummy and cheap!

 
Dinner that night at Cueva Del Pescador was arrachera for me
 

 
And breaded fish for Babs
 

 
One evening we had dinner at La Buena Vida where we ran into our old friend Arsenio who used to work at the Akumal Beach Resort
 

 
I enjoyed the beef tacos

 
And Babs loved her veggie quesadilla
 

 
 

We were told that Cueva del Pescador was going to be opening a second restaurant soon, since their one near Yal Ku closed. This one is in the Akumal Pueblo, at the beginning of the last block before you reach the end of the pueblo, on the right. One of the waiters told us it would be named Cueva Dos, not sure on that one. Also, one of the locals told us that they might have trouble getting a liquor license in this new location because it is so close to a school.

And a rainbow, one afternoon after a brief shower
 

 
 
 
 

Nice pictures Badger, thanks for posting, those beef tacos do look yummy - well they all look pretty good come to that

Great food porn, Pablo!  Oh how I love the breaded fish at CDP!

Breakfast yesterday was "trunk food" once again
 

 
We bought 5 delicious tacos, two with eggs & herbs and 3 pork for an equivalent of $4 U.S.
 

 
We enjoyed our desayuno out on the balcony of our condo (I'll get a balcony photo later)
 

Thank You

What a Monday morning treat!  All my favorite stuff from all my favorite places.  I am kicking myself for not getting some of that trunk food breakfast empanada action though.  We were always up too early too take advantage.  Next time.  Did you watch the game alt La Sirena?

 Where is El Campanarios, We will be in Akumal in early March and want to try it out. Looks GREAT!
 P.S. Thanks for the great report!

Thanks for your comments everyone, much appreciated.
 
Mike, street food guy's name is Roy, he sets up usually Mon-Sat around 7 am on Rojo Gomez, about 1 block South of the square. If you look at the photo, above his shoulder you can see a lady in the background, beyond her is a truck that is parked in front of the Catholic church. Not sure about the BBQ chicken, will try to get by there in the next couple of days.
 
HG, El Campanario is in Puerto Morelos. In PM there are 3 streets that run North and South & parallel to the ocean, the one closest to the beach is Raphael Melgar, the next is Rojo Gomez, the 3rd Ninos Heroes. El C is on Calle Isla Mujeres, the first cross street about one long block South of the square, between Raphael Melgar and Rojo Gomez.
 
Crunch, when we are going to eat the trunk food on HMB we usually eat something light around 7 am and then grab the street food around 9.
I managed to find a live stream online to watch the Packers game, sometimes La Sirena can be pretty crazy during NFL games.

Dinner last night at Salciccium
 

 
I had the Sausage Degustation (whatever that means )
 
A rather provocative presentation of the sausage, we thought maybe that's  what Degustation means
 

 
And Babs had a seafood mixture in pita bread
 

Nice pictures, thanks again. Now I am hungry for sausage, think I might order a nice sausage and onion pizza for dinner. Glad you are both having a great time

Thanks for the comments!
 
Another photo of Roy's breakfast food truck, we've found the old adage is true, always eat at the places that the locals frequent
 

 
 
In the afternoon we went to a couple of the local beach bars, this one is called My Paradise, usually great people watching
 

 
And two-for-one margs at Unico Beach Club
 

 
Happy Hour at My Paradise is from 3-4 pm daily and then Unico from 4-5. My paradise only includes certain drinks at the HH price, while Unico includes most, I think.
 
Back to our favorite place for dinner, El Pesquero, where Babs had an amazing Shrimp Ceviche
 

 
And I had one of my favorites, Felipe calls it the "skirts of the King Conch", not on the menu and only available at certain times, but when they do have it he always lets me know
 

on the sausage!
It is so cold here. I REALLY wish we were there!
