Filet mignon from the market - Whooo Hooo!
Recently, I was browsing the meat counter at the market, looking through what's available. I spotted a packaged (not prepackaged from other source),
a full cut tenderloin of filet mignon.
I couldn't believe it, I have nver seen this before here. There is only one package and it is fresh today, weight .76 k (almost two pounds) for less
than US$10.
I cut eight filets from the whole piece, all about 1 1/2" thick andthe meat had a beautiful rich and full beef taste, not watery like US steaks. 
I think I'm going to wangle an introduction to the head butcher at the market to discover how often these gems are available.

Whole tenderloins are a favorite of my Mom's. She cuts them for individual steaks and wraps them in bacon. She gave me ten in a freezer pack for
Christmas. They are GOOOOODDDD!
She's gotten them at several places including a butchershop called Paco's (east side of the main drag, north end. Look for a cow on top of the
building).
EJido Mazatlan is a strip mall on the west side of the main drag...it has a butcher shop she's used before, and Comercial Mexicana sometimes has them.
Now, I think I'll defrost one for tonight!
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

Comercial Mexicana in Rosarito
in midtown on the main drag (Benito Juarez Blvd.) BTW, is there some law in Mexico that says every town must have a main street named Benito Juarez
Blvd? 
Also, there's a Super Comercial Mexicana going up very quickly on a lot that's right next to the toll road and on and off ramps exit and entrance (I
think its the one for the palacio municipal [city hall]). It's going be huge, Costco-sized. It will be a very convenient off and on stop for all you
travelers.
