Mexico dream:Mexico City episode2

To see the pyramid Teotihuacan which is located half an hour away from Mexico city we joined a small group of people by travel agency. Before go to main ruins of course they brought us to tequila factory and stone/ jewelery shops something like that and finally we arrived pyramid 2pm. Without any shadow, under the crazy strong sunlight climbing up pyramid was so much work also few shots of tequila made me loosen up more. It seems like everybody feel same and when we arrived in the huge buffet restaurant at 3:30pm I almost run to table and ready to eat whatever it is. In front of the door big cars packed with tourist and price was $23 per person which is ridiculously expensive compared to regular rate. Even though I almost almost couldn't control my body. "STOP"!! He woke me up. Please try not to go tourist place even we are part of tourist people though. He persuade me to find more local place to eat. He asked to driver where we can go and luckily he pointed out authentic one near by. Very quiet and couldn't recognized it's someone's home or restaurant until one grandma came out and very nicely host us. Of course the price wasn't cheap but can eat authentic local style food was so happy. Specifically the first tasting cactus salad! Wow.. the smoothie gelatin texture with little bit of salty taste was very interesting. Main dish pork chop with black mole(Negro mole)was good. Beer,fruit juice, cactus dessert. We had eaten it out all then we recognized our van is waiting for us in front of restaurant. Sorry Sorry~~ I can tell that was beautiful full course meal ever!
