We love this place. The food and the atmosphere is friendly as always…read more Considering the state of our country and the world I question how anyone could possibly trust white Americans again. I find it hard to trust my bigoted countrymen. But we went to see Elio today and it reaffirmed my belief that one of my heroes from childhood was correct. "Despite everything, I still believe that people are good at heart." That is a paraphrase from Anne Frank's' diary-but it still stands. This is a poem I wrote today. I asked Google to translate it into Spanish. I hope that it conveys the true spirit of what America really stands for. El globo que solía poseer - Un poema para James Conocí a un hombre en su último aliento Su carrera casi acabada En su habitación había un globo De esos que solían vender El eje, de bronce y dorado Representando al mundo Con fronteras desactualizadas Y pueblos fronterizos ya olvidados Pero las mismas guerras siguen luchando Le pregunté si había amado bien Sonrió, más amplio que el cielo "Oh sí, muchacho, mucho he amado No puedo esperar al siguiente; La vida que cargo aún me lleva" Miré ese globo Una vez más... el mismo globo que lo conoció bien y nos deja, aún gira Pero las guerras aún arden Cuando termine, ya no Tendrá necesidad de globos O guerras O pueblos con nombres olvidados Supongo que las guerras son para los vivos - Deseo que su globo pudiera Dejar de girar Suficiente tiempo para ver Un globo sin guerra Sin miedo, ni una sola lágrima Y fronteras con papeles que solo digan "Bienvenido de nuevo Te hemos echado de menos."

THE HIDDEN GEM OF THIS OUTDOOR FLEA MARKET…read more Tucked away at the end of the rows behind the blue building is a green taco truck called Taqueria Mari, and trust me, this spot is the real deal. From the moment you walk up, you'll notice a long line of people waiting... but don't worry... it moves FAST. The reason? Fresh tacos flying off the grill. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food comes out quick and hot. I ordered 10 tacos plus a classic Mexican Coke in a glass bottle (500ml) And every single taco was made fresh to order with ingredients chopped right in front of you. Here's what I tried: Tacos de Asada (Beef Steak) Tacos de Carnitas (Slow-Cooked Pork) Tacos de Al Pastor (Marinated Pork) Taco de Lengua (Beef Tongue) Every taco was straight off the grill, loaded with flavor, and packed with fresh ingredients. They also have plenty of seating with a covered eating area, so you can sit down, relax, and enjoy your tacos without rushing. If you're exploring this flea market, do NOT leave without stopping here. This is one of those "locals know" taco spots. Hidden. Authentic. Absolutely worth the line. Pro tip: Look for the green food truck at the back behind the blue building.

Stumbled this place at the Sunshine Flea Market today…read more I went here for the Kettle Corn booth but did not see it. I am not sure if they even come here anymore for the kettle corn. Anyways this truck had customers and had a line. Most were mexicans eating too so that is a sign its good. The menu is not that small and not that large either. The Daily specials are $8 (with $1 tax) and you get a good amount of food. Some the specials do not come with rice and beans just eb mindful. The tacos you can choose what kind of meats on each taco but some of the entrees its based on 1 kind of meat. They did not have Tamales today so I opted for the 3 tacos plate. I chose birria, carne asada and al pastor meats. It had the onions and cilantro and the tortilla is MADE FRESH not store bought. You can tell its fresh tortilla. They will give you rice and beans with green sauce. The tacos - The Al Pastor was my fave out of all 3 meats. I liked the flavor it came out with. The Birria was not bad either but I am not big on shredded beef unless its a birria taco with au jus. The carne asada was salty for my taste. I will request Al Pastor next time. The rice is not red or the look of traditional mexican rice. Its pale white with broth flavor. It was seasoned well. No hints of veggies. The beans was delicious it had mashed beans with hints of beans throughout- It was seasoned well. The green sauce was spicy but it enhances the flavors of the tacos. Is it the best tacos? I prefer the ones at Wahneta taco truck by the mexican grocery store - but the fresh tortilla and the beans gets my points on this one. There is a LONG WAIT if you do not call in your order. They make food fresh made to order here. I will def come back again and try the Tamales next time.

I stopped by Zarza at 4648 Cleveland High Blvd, Lakeland, FL., for a late lunch today. I arrived…read moreat 1:30 and the restaurant had a steady stream of customers, most opting for takeaway. Zarza doesn't have a specific lunch menu like it does for breakfast. You order at the kitchen counter, and you get a handheld device that lights up and buzzes when your food is ready for you to pick it up. I ordered the ¼-Chicken Special which comes with yellow rice, black beans, a 4-ounce side and a fountain beverage. I had the fried sweet bananas as my side. The chicken was moist and delicious. The side dishes were also very tasty. I will definitely be back to try some of the other offerings on their menu. (Also, Zarza has just opened a second restaurant in Winter Haven and with food this good, I'm sure it will be a success! I can't wait to try it!)
