All this (about three cups) of shredded beef with potatoes and onions, soup, salad, water and desert for 68 peso - $5.25 U.S.

I had the shrimp special for the same price.

My meal was delicious but not a huge as Ray's. They also offered three chicken dishes for that price.

Carnitas on the hoof.

We don't remember seeing these ads before.

Twisted chicken at Twisted Mama's.

A generous size chicken breast with cheese and avocado topped with a chipotle cream sauce. Yum.

GiGi took over my chair.

Bird watching.

Fluffy tails.

GiGi is such a ham.
