Tacos al pastor


After the soccer game the other night, we stopped to get tacos al pastor.

I just don’t know how to say no to good tacos, even if it’s midnight. They were delicious.

Travel to Mexico

Posted by Dennis On June - 9 - 2009

What are you waiting for? Mexico is a great place to visit, and this country could seriously use the tourism.

I came across this article today about traveling to Mexico.

The Mexican Tourism Board has launched a $90 million recovery plan to boost tourism and many hotels throughout the country are offering deals; two-for-one offers, discounts of up to 70 percent, extras like yoga classes, additional nights, nature treks, and a slew of add-ons.

It’s cheap to visit Mexico right now, and with so few people visiting, you might find yourself alone on the beach.

iPhone Apps for Mexico

Posted by Dennis On June - 8 - 2009

I just came across this great post by Steven Roll about iPhone apps to take with you to Mexico.

I’d love to check out the metro one, especially. I think it would come in handy for me.

The Sit or Squat one looks like it could be useful, too.

Check out his list here.

Saw this up at La Cuspide and thought it was hilarious. We’ve been waiting a while to video it.

Is it a Dog or a Lion?

Posted by Dennis On June - 1 - 2009

I have never seen anything like this anywhere else but Mexico. There is a dog in my neighborhood who either thinks he’s a lion, or his owners wanted a lion but could only find a dog at the pet store.

About Me

I am a gringo living in Mexico City, hence the name Chilingo: a mix between what they call citizens of Mexico City (Chilango) and what they call Americans (gringo). Chilango + Gringo = Chilingo.
