On Wednesday night after we got back from Cholula, we went to a restaurant called Nuni. It was a highly rated restaurant with a tasting menu. I normally don’t like this because as I like to say, “I eat with gusto rather than precision.”
In other words, I scarf my food down so fast I don’t notice the flavors. But, this place was not expensive and the menu looked good.

First course was a watermelon and beet salad. Delicious.

Second course for me was ceviche. The little yellow things were not fish eggs but little fruits. So good.

Since Jeff is allergic to fish he had a duck empanada. Also amazing.

The restaurant was so small we sat right next to the chef. After each course Jeff would say in perfect Spanish something like, “Chef, this dish is exquisite. The flavors are astounding.”
I would point to my plate and say in Spanish “Good.”

This, was the fanciest tamale I’ve ever eaten. Really good.

Pictures of steak never look good. But this was delicious.

Mango passionfruit flan. Looked weird but incredible.

Chocolate mouse with ice cream and mushrooms. Yes I know that sounds bad. But it was amazing.
On Thursday night we decided to go out to a different restaurant and just get appetizers and salad.

We ordered the guacamole without grasshoppers but the waiter talked us into getting them on the side to try. Jeff went first. He was feeling pretty confident.

As you can probably tell, he didn’t like them a whole lot.
I was disgusted just looking at the dish of them but I went next and tried them anyway.

They weren’t bad. Sort of tasted like anchovies. I then tried them with chips and guacamole and the grasshoppers. I have to say, it was a tasty combo. Although that was enough. I won’t be chowing down a bag of them anytime soon.
