Shrimp Dinner

Last evening we went out for a shrimp dinner. I have mentioned this restaurant before; but don't think I have ever taken a picture of it. It is called Cocos El Novillero and serves good seafood. If you want dinner though, you have to go early as it closes at 7 PM.
Our order was taken promptly and we sat back to relax. This didn't last for long as the owner of the restaurant came up to us and introduced himself. He sat down and began to chat with us. He told us that he doesn't speak any english; but would like to learn as there are more and more tourists coming into the restaurant. It is located right across from the stadium in Guaymas. We chatted with him throughout our meal.
The shrimp were good, the company was unexpected, the staff were friendly and we were well taken care of. A nice evening.
If you are ever in town, I recommend a lunch or dinner there, they have a large variety of seafood on the menu. He said they open at 8 AM and close at 7 PM.

Happy Birthday Roy

Yesterday was our anniversary and Roys birthday also. We decided to go out for dinner last night at one of our favorite places here. We haven't been there for a long time now and were going into withdrawal.
The restaurant El Coco Novillero specialises in seafood and it is good food at reasonable prices. We both ordered breaded shrimp and when the plates arrived our empty tummies didn't quite seem big enough. We had tons of shrimp, after I had eaten a couple I decided to count and there were still 14 good sized shrimp on my plate. Very tasty. I managed to eat all my shrimp by leaving some of my rice and not touching the tortillas. Service was good; although our favorite waiter was not there, too bad, he was a good waiter and we had always enjoyed his service. Oh well, dinner was great tasting and not hard on the budget. A nice, relaxing meal.
After eating we took a different street home and I snapped a couple of blurry photos out of the car window. Tough scenery to have to live with, isn't it?
