Coming home from conference, we had to go right through Puebla. So, we stopped for some shopping at Waldo Mart (a favorite fun store!), and at a corner store to get some REAL vanilla, and of course we couldn't leave without TACOS!! Not like U.S. tacos - not even close! These are tacos al pastor (literally shepherd tacos!). They are corn tortillas with meat that was cooked on a spit. You can eat them as is like Dayton does, or slather them with any one of the delicious salsas on the table. Delicious!
Cameron's tacos al pastor came with pieces of pineapple on top. He didn't eat the pineapple (so his mom did the honors!), but he says that it gives them good flavor! Look good? Notice too the drink of choice for Cameron - it's horchata, a deliciously delicious rice drink. It's Cameron's and my favorite.
But the REAL PUEBLA TACOS are tacos arabes (or arab tacos), full of meat, very ga-reasy, very yummy! We slathered them with the pungent special tacos arabes salsa and enjoyed. Yum!
Alan had three tacos arabes. Two were enough for me! One was enough for Bethie! Alan's drink is jamaica (hibiscus flower drink), also deliciously delicious. After horchata, it's my second favorite.
This wonderfully luscious stop helped make our trip home seem shorter and go faster. Y'all come! We'll treat you!!

I found a place in Chicago with tacos arabes! Semitas Puebla, the home away from home.
