Our first stop after landing was to get some food. It was after all 8:30pm East coast time. We headed across the Golden Gate Bridge. (So COOL!)
To Tiburon...it was gorgeous! This was our view! We drove but you can take the ferry as well. The drop off point is right on the end of the dock.
To Guaymas, a highly recommended Mexican restaurant right not the water.
We started out with a huge basket of the most delicious tortilla chips I have ever had. Needless to say the basket didn't last long enough for a photo. Our waitress gracious refilled the basket even though I warned Mr. J that it was a bad idea. The chips came with three different salsas. The green cilantro one was so light and refreshing. I can't think of a better way to describe it than eating summer.
Ordering was difficult. I could have tried one of EVERYTHING. The options were endless but we decided that sharing an appetizer and getting two entrees was the best way to go. After all it was was only our first night.
Sharing didn't work out too well for the appetizer though. We each had one and then split the third. It was only after the splitting of the third that we realized each one was a different variety. Mr. J had the potato, I had the cheese and we split the mushroom and zucchini. All were super delicious! The fried dough was very light too so it was not sitting heavy in our stomachs before our entrees came.
Tamales de puerco --- two tamales of pork with guajillo chile sauce, steamed in banana leaves 14.95
Enchiladas de mariscos --- three seafood enchiladas, salsa ranchera and mix cheese with rice and beans 16.95
I cannot believe this great restaurant is so far away from us. It was so great and reasonably priced. If I ever make it back this will definitely be on the itinerary.
