Reason #9 for choosing Mexico as my 2nd home: People/Culture Part 2 of 3

The Shamrock, after recording my stock news, was the only item on my ‘list’ and I enjoyed my usual # of cervezas con limón while chatting with a few of the local patrons. (Karl, Gil, Natalie, & Gillian) Later, Liz dropped by looking brilliant, and a couple from Minnesota arrived along with their friend from Ottawa with parents in tow. A friendly game or three of full-size Jenga ensued. One never knows where the evening will lead but last night, my stomach did the leading; in search of a place I had yet to try.

Flaky’s Fish n’ Chips. (even though Natalie makes a fantastic and proper entrée) A full size order was 75p and I added Perry’s Killer Chili (45p) planning ahead for tomorrow’s chili-cheese omelet. While Perry prepared his specialties, I met Kathy, the pastry chef, who sat and swapped stories. The hike home seemed longer even though the stomach pushed me to move faster. The fish was fantastic and came with two large portions. Although the fries were not great, not bad, but not great; Perry had thrown in a couple teaser onion rings which really hit the spot. I wee sample of the chili confirmed that breakfast was going to be outstanding. For reference, Flaky’s is on Avenida Mexico #20. less than a block from The Shamrock. There menu in not extensive as it has only 4 items, but if the other two are anything like the ones I sampled, it’s worth checking out.
