The Old El Past
Remember Chi-Chi’s? I don’t.
Although the Tex-Mex restaurant chain with the eyebrow-raising name (go ahead, Google its meaning in Spanish) was big when I was a kid, I don’t quite recall ever making it out to one of their locations, despite my fascination with reports that they were somehow deep-frying ice cream. I guess we weren’t all that hungry for chimichangas in our household. We never went to Taco Bell either for that matter. This was easy since “The Cure For The Common Meal”, as they claimed to be at the time, didn’t show up in our neck of the woods (Quebec) until way later. After having endured common meals for far too long…

LA PAZ TACO TASTER: 8 TERRIFIC TAQUERÍAS TO TRY
The taco is a magical little thing that we at The Hungry Herald apparently hardly ever knew, and a few months in Mexico have let us know just how unacquainted we were. From bone marrow to manta ray, the things we’ve found tucked into tortillas so far have had us wowed and re-arranging our brains – which are great in tacos by the way, in case you hadn’t heard. If you’ve checked out our previous post, you know that we’re head-over-heels in love with the city of La Paz, and of the countless reasons for this, the tacos…

NIXTAMALIZATION
Welcome to our very first instalment of The Hungry Hungry Glossary, an ever-growing lexicon of intriguing culinarily relevant terms that we hope will add a little flavour to your day. Let’s take a tiny tortilla of a time out now and talk about a word we’d like you to stick in your pantry tout de suite if it’s not already in there…
DIVORCE NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
Just wow. In Cabo San Lucas, at Land’s End, lies a pair of beaches that together and separately are simply in a league of their own. Playa de Los Amantes (or Playa del Amor) and Playa del Divorcio share the very tip of the Baja peninsula, just shy of the spot where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet in spectacular fashion. Two sides of the same cape, if you will…
HAIR OF THE DOG, HEAD OF THE COW: BEATING A BAJA HANGOVER
Dried bull penis and rabbit poop tea.
Ok, now that we have your attention. It was September 2022, Cabo San Lucas, and someone had a hangover. Nothing apocalyptic, I could still operate an iPhone and displace myself from point A to point B, but I needed treatment for my crapulence. Preferably tasty treatment, and relatively fast.
A quick rummage through the Google drawers in search of hangover remedies reveals an impressive list of recommendations stemming from all corners of the globe, and all corners of plausibility…
CABO ELECTRICO: BREAKFAST. BEACH. BOOZE. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
“There’s a sleepy town, south of the border, If you go there once, you’ll be there twice.”
– Cabo Wabo by Van Halen.
Not so sleepy anymore, that’s for damn sure. Back when Van Halen frontman Sammy “Right Now” Hagar penned these words sometime deep in the ’80s, Cabo San Lucas was just beginning to show signs of paving its way from tuna-centric fishing village to the tourist-centric supernova it has now become. Part of the vanguard of those sniffing out the party potential of this town early on, Hagar and friends would eventually jump-kick the doors open…
