Yesterday’s link is probably the biggest part of the Arid Zone series, but I still have a few other posts to post. This one is mostly about this place Jasmine and I ate at, a humble vegan restaurant called Tumerico.
We ordered two things that day: enchilada-style tamale and carne asada plate.
The enchilada-style tamale was basically a (vegan) tamale with sauce on it like an enchilada, and it was good. But holy cannoly, the carne asada plate. That was one of the best foods I’ve had. The carne asada consisted of three different fake meats and tortilla. Those fake meats were simply amazing. They were all different, I think made of different vegetables (one definitely jackfruit, another definitely eggplant, and the last possibly soy).
I believe this restaurant switches up their menu so I couldn’t guarantee that anyone who visited would get this same dish, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other great dishes there.
Anyway here’s an unrelated picture of Jasmine looking unimpressed at my Thai iced tea when we went to a Thai restaurant later on in the trip.
