I’m an electrician from the south. I used to work shut downs in oil refineries and a lot of the scaffold personnel were Mexican mostly. I can say without hesitation that home cooked Mexican food is as good as it gets and it’s not very close. These dudes wives always sent them to work with great meals but I was almost more impressed with their kindness. They’ll share any food they have with you, especially if you’re like me and can make them laugh with how much Spanish I spoke. My go to phrase was always, sana sana colita de rana si no sana hoy sanara manàna. 😂😂 good times and great memories but even better food. Amazing culture and people.

For all the tequila flowing, you guys held up quite well! I've not been on the tequila train but did get to visit a distillery "near" Mazatlan on my first visit there six years ago. The tequila was flowing there as well. And I brought home a lot more than I could drink in a few years. 😂 Tequila cream anyone?

Mike - with the current issues taking place in Mexico, how prevalent, if at all, was the security surrounding your trip and the guests?
@GrantMcWilliams10 ай бұрын
@@mstrdiver Which issues? There's no need for extra security on trips like this or in hotels, or almost anywhere. If you're referring to the cartel issues then you probably need extra security if you're a cartel member or you're a journalist trying to investigate cartels but for the other 134 million people who live in Mexico or for the other 66 million tourists to Mexico each year, there's no need. Your biggest danger is tripping on uneven sidewalks or getting run over by a combi. Really, that's not an exaggeration. The water will get you a thousand times before you'll even seen a hint of cartel activity.

There is actually a Jose Cuervo. He is the great grandson of the founder. He owns a restaurant in Cabo San Lucas. The family still owns the distillery. When I was on a cruise in February we took a tour to his restaurant. Free food but only five types of Tequila. Learned a lot about Tequila that day. Hope your hangover the next day was better than mine.😂
