Karne Garibaldi

Went to a great restaurant for lunch today with Sita, Karne Garibaldi. Shall have to see if it’s open for Xmas dinner (cos Sita’s going back to CA for a few days and me mate Ed’s coming over to stay). Carne en su jugo (Meat in its own juice), their speciality, is a stew-like meal, with less vegetables and more steak, bacon and frijoles. They give you a bottomless plate of grilled onions and tortillas and all the cilantro and salsa you can stomach. All for 65 pesos. Which wouldn’t get you a Big Mac Meal in Taunton. They’re in the Guinness book for speed of service too. So they’re faster than Maccy D’s in Taunton too. Top restaurants in Guadalajara so far:

1. La Matera- Argentine grill.
2. La I Latina- Fusion food in an achingly cool setting
3. Karne Garibaldi- fast, local, cheap and filling

You may have seen I’ve changed the blog header a little bit. I don’t think it’s going to stay like that. One of these days I’ll do a complete overhaul of the place. Sita says it’s not bad for “someone that hates pets” which is a bit strong. I’m quite fond of them but think life is a LOT easier, cheaper and less stressful without them around 24-7. I can’t deny they’re cute, mind. I was going for a Charlie’s Angels pose in the header, mais non.

Other local news: Shoes in Guadalajara only go up to size 10. So it’s trainers for tomorrow’s interview.
