Taco Wednesday.

No, not Tuesday.  Wednesday.  I don't know why. At Mr. Jon's.

It's all you can eat for Q55. Lots and lots of choices for fillings: beef, chicken, pork, tofu, fajita vegetables, rice, frijole negra, sauces, shredded cheddar [rare in Panajachel], sour cream [very rare in Panajachel], sauteed piña, Pico de Gallo, flour tortillas, corn tortillas, tortilla chips, chicharron [fried pork belly], cowboy candy [sometimes; sweet pickled jalapenos]. It's become somewhat of a tradition for us. And becoming very popular. It's probably the most crowded restaurant on Santander on Wednesdays now, and likely to get worse as high season progresses.

Not many leftovers!

This Saturday is Decembriefest. [Just like it's not Wednesday,  it's not Oktoberfest]. Bratwurst, weisswurst, polish sausage, and more. GERMAN POTATOE SALAD! Sauerkraut. All homemade by Mr. Jon himself. He's a former Minnesotan and has written  a book on spices. He promises it will be good, and stresses not to miss it. He made about 40 pounds of each variety sausage, and has no idea how long they will last. This is the first time he's doing this. If successful,  he may try it on a semi-regular basis. Q12 [$1.65] for a simple sausage on a roll; Q15 [$2.05] for deluxe, with sauerkraut and/or other special fixings.

Move over Smokin' Joe's. We're  going elsewhere this Saturday after the meeting.
