Choki's near Campo Lopez?

John Harper - 1-22-2019 at 06:16 PM

Where can I find Choki's cookies nearby to Campo Lopez? Calimax in Rosarito? I'd like to buy one of each color and give them the Chip's Ahoy comparison test. Not generally a big fan of sweets, but I do indulge once in a while, for research purposes only, of course.

Is there an OXXO nearby?

I'm sure there is. My friend's place is just south of Cantamar.

Is it open yet? I drove by a month ago and was still under construction. I'll check it out on Saturday, thank you.

Unknown, I see it as I am driving south on the toll road.

The Calimax at Puerto Nuevo is still under construction. I did stop at the OXXO nearby and fulfilled my quest, and more:

Not two, but three different styles!

Unfortunately, I got back to Campo Lopez and realized I had forgotten to buy....MILK! Arrrgh!

Those rellenas look delicious. Don't think we had any of those on our cookie challenge.

I don't know...if it has a soft, or chewy texture it doesn't belong in a chip off! I never tried the rellena's, are they crisp?

Yes, it's more of a thin layer of chocolate in the middle. Just tried the Rellenas, a bit softer cookie texture than CA's, but crisp, more research to come. So far, very tasty.

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
