Rare sid_9169 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #926 Share Posted May 23, 2023 After the long drive across the transversal road, we arrived at Mezcalitos, one place that's pretty special to me... They always remember me here, and I guess it's probably because I always insist on their best tequila, as well as tipping the guys there well... That's my main bartender here, and he's been making my margaritas for about a decade now... Whatever he does, it always turns out great, and pretty soon I had one of my most coveted drinks ever in my hands again... 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #927 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Oh, the drink picture... This one for sure turned what began as a depressing day around. Strange thing is, that I sat there and watched how much liquor he put in it, but it didn't taste strong like you would imagine. It strikes the perfect balance every time, and I assume he's probably made millions of these things... 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #928 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I talked with Crescencio for awhile, and caught up with him, then took a few pictures before it was time to visit their five star restroom. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #931 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Pretty soon, I was ready for another drink... I don't have any idea how long it's going to be before I return, and it one of the things I always look forward to here... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #932 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Once that drink was gone, it was time to move on... We had many miles to go on this journey... 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right across from the airport, and lots of people who visit stop there right when they get off the plane. I was craving their awesome fish tacos, which I haven't had in a while, and they were as great as I remembered... Those look amazing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe not an award winning restroom, but there were definitely worse ones today. It's definitely rustic, and the missing toilet seat would be a theme for today... Maybe there's a toilet seat shortage here or something... Something to bring on your next trip to Cozumel. Toilet seats! 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid, what does Crescencio charged for the drives he takes you on & what kind of tip do you usually leave for him? Also, what does he do while you eat & drink your way around the island? I'd like to book with them for my trip in September. I'll ask him to just take me where you take Sid. ha ha 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to the other side of Cozumel. He would for sure know who you were talking about, just tell him to take you where Sid James likes to go and he'll know... I pay for the two person tour, which is the minimum, and it's four hours for $80... I always give him a $40 tip, but that's just me, and because he always takes me himself... He sits right there at the table with me wherever we go, and I always buy him lunch... 28 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #946 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Everything here so far has been great! Bone marrow is an acquired taste, and rich as hell, but nice. The hamachi crudo was nice too... Coming up next: the salt crusted dorade, which is strange for me at a steakhouse, but I had it here once before and it was unbelievable... Hopefully that still holds true this evening. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 23, 2023 Author #948 Share Posted May 23, 2023 When we left off in Cozumel, we were heading away from Mezcalitos to my next favorite drinking spot: The Mojito Factory, AKA Miami Bar, AKA the Coconut Cabana... They have a margarita there that is unlike anything else anywhere... When we were approaching, I could see that the original building was gone, and the entire place had been rebuilt from the ground up, including their huge sign that was now gone. The drinks and service were still as great as ever, but I couldn't help but be nostalgic about the old place. I had them mix me up one of their signature margaritas with fresh cut limes and fresh cut grapefruit. And, when I say fresh, they cut it and squeeze it straight into your cup... It's quite unique, and I wish that I could have had two, but I was already feeling good from the couple of margs at Mezcalitos... 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
