Hubbers and I had our whole day planned out to basically explore this general area…read more
But first: lunch!
He remembers liking this place last time he came through, so it only made sense to make a stop.
It's located in the city center, so it is expected for some street vendors walking around making attempts to sell you some of their products. We took a liking to two of them: I bought a small coin pouch from a little boy, and Hubbers went for a day city tour (review to come later.)
I asked for a orange soda and water and went for the huevos motulenos. I'm glad they asked if I wanted it with scrambled eggs because I really wanted sunny side up/over easy. (I guess a normal order came with scrambled eggs.) Hubbers went for panuchos (which came in 3's.) We were curious about the caldo Nicte Ha, and was told it's turkey soup. I think we may have miscommunicated, because our server put in an order when we didn't intend to. No biggie, we took it anyway. Nothing big to report, it gave off a very light essence of turkey flavor, but otherwise, that was it. Side of fried tortilla and marinated red onions did a little, but nothing significant.
Apart from the peas (not a fan - I separated every single one out and placed them all in Hubbers' plate), huevos motulenos looked great. Egg was cooked perfectly. The shredded cheese added a lightly salt taste, the ham and sauce were average at best. The fried plantains served as good palate cleansers. It wasn't bad, but okay at best.

Hubbers enjoyed his panuchos.
Good first run. Glad I got to try one of Hubbers' recos.
