WOW! Now that is a pretty open ended questions – TOO much good stuff. :) But if there is a local, non-tourist place that has tamales [ not the kind we’re used to in restaurants ] thats a must. Also – being on the coast you will have lots of choices for mariscos [seafood]. I would certainly try the ceviche [ shrimp+fish cocktail ] There is also a giant cocktail called the Vuelve de la Vida – usually contains oysters and octopus as well. Milanesa is a pounded flat beefsteak with breading, also found in tortas, etc. Mole – and there are MANY kinds – is great. Its sort of a gravy like topping to meat but many different flavors, etc. And of course, ask around to the residents and see what their favorites are, whats in season, etc. Try to find a local market somewhere as well to take good eats back to the room .

Hola,
I just knew there’d be “too much good stuff”! gracias for all the wonderful suggestions. This is exactly the kind of information about food I was hoping for.
While we are based out of a resort, our first trip to this country – and I’m sure the food will be fine – we don’t need to go to Mexico to eat the same thing we can get at home. Or Italian, or any other cuisine for that matter. We want to discover something new and authentic, when we explore.
Damn. I shouldn’t have read this before having lunch. I’m craving mariscos.
Salud

REAL i mean real tamales are wonderful.. they dont even compare to restaurant tamales they are so good. also not sure how to spell it but Sopapeas are so good in in a authentic mexican restaurant .. i went to a place way deep down in mexico and tried them and it was this big fluffy sweet bread filled with honey and it was warm and when you bit into it oh my lord it was heaven on earth.. also tried another place down in mexico and got some and dipped them in honey …. its my favorite mexican dessert ever, if it even counts as dessert it sure does to me…... chili colorado….... the REAL stuff not made in american restuarants…. my aunt makes some amazing chili colorado one good place in the USA ive went to my husband took me to in sanantonio none of the tourists know about it and its only open at night lol its dirt cheep and made out of this tiny little building but wow wow wow not only is it cheap its authentic amazing mexican food if you ask a local in sanantonio where the cheapest mexican food in town is that is open late at night.. they may just lead you there i went at 3am and even though it was a tiny building it was packed full of people !

Hola. Love your enthusiasm!
I cannot agree with you more about experiencing something REAL. It certainly sounds like you had a deeply emotional, memorable trip to Mexico, heightened by new and wonderful tastes.
Having an insatiable sweet-tooth, your description of the best dessert – ever, naturally caught my full attention.
I can only hope to be so swept away by my own experience next week.
Cheers
