After whipping up some huevos, and some relaxation at the Villa/pool (I actually had to respond to an inquiry from a new client), I finally convinced everyone to take the walk back to el aeropuerto and cross over the highway to la unica y autentico Tacon de Marlin. It was worth the steps getting there. This very interesting spot is hidden away under the pedestrian overpass, I had been told about it and had been trying to see it as we drove past on several occasions but only spied it the last time enroute to Vista Vallarta. That sighting gave me the confidence to talk the tourists into walking there. It really isn’t that far after all, and the walking was no problemo along mostly sidewalks.
As K pointed out, the “tacos” might be better described as “burritos”, you know how it goes (h/t to JJW). Regardless, they were huge and delicious, with a couple of cervecas to boot. We strolled back by the Soriana for some more avocados and peppers, and then popped into see Angel for a margarita. Amazing how a day can disappear?? Later in the evening, we decided to explore Ave. Paseo de la Marina Sur. We walked down to the Westin and wandered around there finding nothing inspiring. We then walked back towards the Villa, checked out the slightly larger Oxxo, and settled in at Tavola di Vittoria. The wine list was sparse and after Myles picked one (out), two (out), three (out), we settled on something passable and ordered up a couple of pizzas, no one being particularly hungry. If the wine was disappointing, the pizza was moreso. We had most of it to take away and deposit for the unhoused. That was even in spite of el dueno serving us a postre to make up for the vino tinto fiasco. Anyway, would not recommend this establo even though it has a bright and attractive curb appeal.
