La Paz Carnaval - Food


It is almost time for Carnaval in La Paz, a time of much fun and celebration. I cannot be there this year, but I can share with y'all some of my Carnaval memories.
First there is the yummy food.

Freshly made tortillas:

Hi Natalie Ann

Girl...that all looks SO good, BUT...Al Pastor is my favorite too. I can just imagine some rolled up in those fresh-made tortillas in the first pic.

I guess I'm gonna have to visit the taco place nearby in Oceanside that has great Al Pastor...yummmm!!!

Si, TT - tambien tengo mucho hambre! :yes:
Ever since posting these pix, I have been sooo hungry - and nothing in my frige nor in the store seems to be just what I'm hungry for.

Amo is right. The best of foods is tacos al pastor on fresh tortillas - with some hot sweet onion and the hottest of roasted chiles... yep, I do believe that would do it. And from the panderia, some of those nice little gorditos to take home for a midnight snack.

It is all very tempting, Farasha. A person could gain 10 pounds at Carnaval, if they forget to dance the night away! :bounce::dudette::biggrin:

Michael - only reason I will stop thinking about al pastor or talking about it, is that soon I will be South again and eating al pastor! You live in Carlsbad - just a short drive away. You and yours oughta take a daytrip, join me and mine... and each of us can drool on our own (taco, not keyboard). ;D:biggrin:
