A Taste from Home

Barcelona has been very welcoming to me and my roommates. I’ve settled in well, but there has been times where I miss food from home. This week my roommates and I set out to find a store that sold Mexican products. Since I’ve been here I haven’t been able to find any Mexican food products and every Mexican restaurant I’ve been to is anything but authentic. The worst part of it all is that I don’t have a blender, so any Mexican food I will try to make will be mission impossible.

Salsa VerdeBetween Google and asking people who live here, I found a store 11 metro stops away from my house. As I read the reviews I decided I should give it a try since it was “every Mexican’s dream” and it was. But no one ever warned me about how expensive everything was going to be. I was finally able to eat a Mexican dish that wasn’t very much authentic since the products I used came in a can but nonetheless they were better than most Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. I probably won’t ever go back but I at least was able to have good Mexican food for once.
