If you would like a meal prepared for your arrival or during your stay, please use the following menu as your guide.  You should limit your selection to no more than 2 entrees for dinners and 1 entree for lunch (not including the side dishes).  This allows Rosa time to get all her cleaning done too.  Don't forget to tip Rosa if you find her cooking adds to the enjoyment of your stay!

1. Fish tacos: Flounder seasoned with garlic, and then breaded and fried.  These are served with cilantro seasoned white sauce, salsa and tortillas. One of our favorites! Even our kids love this fish!!!  

2. Fish baked in foil with vegetables* -  let Rosa know if you have a preference as to what kind of fish.
   

3. Fish sautéed with garlic

4. Cerviche: fish marinated in lime juice  

Shrimp

1. Shrimp Tacos  Rosa prepares shrimp in her secret sauce and serves them taco-style with all the fixings…(favorite dish)
2. Shrimp Cocktail, Mexican style: Shrimp is chopped up and served in a tomato base with chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and celery. Just delicious!!! 
   
3. Shrimp Barbocoa: No, this isn't cooked on the grill like it sounds, it is sautéed in a delicious red sauce and is great over rice. You will be surprised when you find out what she uses to make the sauce! I'm not going to give away the secret, but it's really tasty!
   
4. Shrimp sautéed in garlic... need we say more! 
   
5. Shrimp salad served on a tostada shell. (Don't be looking for salad greens here... its' made with mayo.

Mexican Food

1.     Chicken Enchiladas: good for a crowd and easy to heat up! Not spicy either.

2.     Chili Relleno: These are green chili peppers which are roasted, then stuffed with Monterey Jack cheese, and then dipped in an egg batter and fried. She can also add shrimp to these if you like. The chilies are usually mild on the spicy meter.

3.     Beef with red chili sauce: good with rice or tortillas

4.     Chicken or beef tacos: These are traditionally eaten in a corn tortilla, so specify if you prefer four.

5.     Enchiladas:  Chicken, beef or cheese

6.     Tacos or Tostadas: Bean or chicken or beef.

7.     Sopes: These are yummy. She makes a thick corn meal patty, and then fill it with a little mashed potato, shredded beef, and then tops it with lettuce, tomato, avocado and a salsa.

8.     Machaca: this is dried beef cooked with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, tomatoes and chilies, and served on a tortilla. This is really delicious and makes great breakfast leftovers with eggs!  This can be made with  tomatoes and onions and chilis and  potatoes..

9.     Quesadillas: just like a grilled cheese sandwich, but made with tortillas.  Always a favorite with my little girls!

10. Fajitas – chicken or beef – over rice or wrapped in a tortilla

11. Beef with vegetables
