I think you're talking about "Aka Si" that is a wonderful store kinda the Mexican version of a Dollar store... the majority of items inside it are 13 pesos... they have a ton of great buys...

WoW... I forgot to mention... if you haven't already tried them and if you like grapes you gotta buy some of those grapes being sold on the street corners in front of Leys, Brothers Pizza and los Pinos hardware on Constitution, and I'm sure they can be found on other corners... they are 15 pesos a kilo and delicious... they have either green or purple seedless...
I have tried 6 bags of the green and I just can't stop eating them once I get started... I haven't seen as many purple ones around they may have sold out, but like I said if you like grapes you'll love these...

no Julie I have never tried that... I don't think they would last that long to be able to freeze because as soon as they are chilled I am stuffing them in my face... but I will give it a try, it does sound like they would be very refreshing on a hot day...
MMMMMMMM Frozen grapes!

Lovin it in RP!
We just highlighted the local grapes in our photo of the week. If you guys want the photo of the week from Penasco Recreation Company just click here and go to the bottom of the page and join our mailing list. This is a archive of Mondays shot and I think you will like them. We have been doing them for over a year now and the response is great!
Yes Mark you must be getting to the grape guys before me as I cant find the purple ones in the afternoon. They are great tasting I agree!

Sea, that is what makes shopping a Super Ley an adventure. But I do agree....the first time I went into Super Val I felt like I was home in a Frys or Albertsons. But I didn't want to feel at home, so I went back to Ley.

........it's a hell of a lot cleaner than some to the stores I have been to in the US. They don't really have any vector control (bugs and flys), but I was not put off by it. I think it adds to the authenticity. Kinda like eating at Pollo Lucas. It just works.

I have to admit I do enjoy the soft serve ice cream at the north entrance to Super Ley...
I LOVE Pollo Lucas. Everyone that I've ever taken there says it's the best chicken in the world. I finally started making those yummy onions at home - now we have them with carne asada too!

There was a recipe on Rocky Point Tides that was very similar to that chicken. We tried it at home and it was delicious. The recipe should still be on the website. Would you share your recipe for the onions?:veg:
I just throw the big green onions, I think they are called leeks, on the grill. Yummay!!!!!! :chef:
I got the recipe for the onions right from one of the ladies at Pollo Lucas.
Slice up a red onion very thinly. Add white vinegar, add salt. The amount of vinegar and salt depend on how much onion you're making. There's no exact ratio, but there should be enough liquid to almost cover the onions. I add the salt a little at a time, and I keep tasting it - when you hit the right amount you'll know it. I make them in a tupperware bowl, cover them give 'em a good shake and then put them in the fridge for a while. They'll need at least a couple of hours to be ready, but they last in the fridge like that for a couple of weeks at a time.
The last time I made them I added about a dash of sugar also - just to take out a little acidity. That's all there is to it!
I gotta look for the recipe for the chicken on that website. I've tried other "Sinaloa" style chicken recipes and of course it's never like Pollo Lucas!
When I first started going there it was $6 USD for a whole chicken with everything included - now it's $12 USD. That's gotta be the most profitable business in town!

mis2810, I just checked the Rocky Point Tides website and the recipe is still there. You have to go back a ways, but it is worth it to see all the other recipes and especially the pictures! It is called Pollo el Carbon. The shrimp in garlic sauce is also to die for! If you can't find it, let me know. I copied it to add to my recipe book and I will send it to you...but enjoy the browsing on that web site!:grin:
