February 20, 2019 From Sayulita back to Albuquerque Lunch – Moka Café

February 20, 2019 From Sayulita back to Albuquerque Lunch – Moka Café

We have travel to and from Sayulita down pat.  We got up at 8:00, ate a ruby red grapefruit each, walked the beach, I ate three chicken mole tacos, we packed, gave our leftover food to Alfonso, the security guard, returned our beer bottles to the beer dispensary for a refund, and drove to Puerto Vallarta.

When we arrived at around 11:00 we drove to Marina Plaza.  We finished our banking at Actinver and then walked to Comer Supermarket, where we bought five slices of ham, two bollillos, a liter of Kahlua for $10.00 and a 1/5 of Suazo Commemativo for 238 pesos or $13.00.

We then walked back to the Actinver end of the Plaza to the small Moka Café coffee shop and pasta fabricator.  It serves a Menu del Dia with a salad, an entree, bread, and a flavored water for 69 pesos or a bit under $4.00.  I chose fettuccine with a tomato sauce, with capers and sliced black olives.  Suzette ordered the other entrée, three thin slices of sautéed chicken with a creamy carrot sauce.  We both ordered limeades as our flavored water.  We enjoyed lunch.  The salad was dressed as lightly as I have ever tasted.  There was just a hint of vinegar and oil, very interesting.

After lunch I made our ham and cheese sandwiches for the flight back to the states.  I cut each torta in half, spread mayonnaise on the inside of each and lay a slice of smoked ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each half.  Suzette then put the two sides together and wrapped  each sandwich in plastic and put them in our carry-on ice chest with the leftover fruit and chips for the flight.

We will fly to LA and the direct to Albuquerque.

When we finished our lunch, we drove the car back to the National Rental Office, paid for the car rental and shuttled to the airport a bit after 3:00 for our 5:40 departure.

We now sit in the waiting area with lots of other older vacationers who probably arrived 2½ hours or earlier for their flight.

Bon Appetit
