As some of you might already know, this past week I have spent with my dear friend, Vicki. She flew in last Tuesday, all the way from far-off Portland, Oregon for a splendid, and much-needed visit. Woohoo! We've known each other since the precocious age of 8--so the last several days have been a mix of nostalgic reminiscing, late-night chats and even comfy silent moments that can only be shared by people who have know each other so well, and for so long.I will let her retell some of our adventures in and around Oaxaca in her GUEST BLOG (coming soon to this blog near you!). But first, I will leave you with this series of Vicki eating her first homemade, right-off-the-comal taco at Itanoní. It stretches the gambit from total ecstasy to down right giggles; that's how good these darn corn tortillas are.
I am SO proud of my expert documentary photography skillZ. It's almost like a flip book, eh? Like you were there...

I remember this place! Oh man, am I glad you didn't take a bizillon pictures of me eating tacos! She looks slightly less tired than I at this eatery. Of course, this was the beginning of her trip, whereas my visit was the morning of my departure after a week of trekking around Oaxaca.
Driving around in the city yesterday I passed by a place called "Mixteco Grill" at Montrose & Ashland. Had to do a double-take to make sure I got the place name right. I'll have to pop in to see what it's like. I'll take Mom with me since she's now a well-versed Mexican foody.
It was pretty hard to take ANY pictures of you. You're very camera shy. Vicki makes LOVE to the camera! (:
I checked out the Mixteco Grill's menu online. They definitely have some typical food from the region; tho, a few dishes are from other states. Here's a good site with reviews:

Sounds like some of the Frontera Grill staff have ended up at this place--and for a fraction of the price, it seems. Let me know how it tastes!
