Pictured here are a friend and the owner (also a friend) of a restaurant called Kukiaio in Xalapa, Mexico. This is on Sunday before the normal rush. Armando has been planning this for the last year - and his attention to detail shows in everything he does.
The menu is reasonably priced and an interesting collection of recipes. I tired the Shrimp Real which had shrimp wrapped in bacon with a delicious tomato compote in the center and avacado and lemon juice. On the evening before I tried the Arab Kebab - which was two large kibbe kabobs with a nice portion of rice. The desserts are also interesting - one has a baked bread and pears and carmelized onions with a balsamic vinegar over the top. A very good mix of flavors. I think he only has 65 seats but if you go to Xalapa - this is a place you must search out - it is on a side street just away from the town's cathedral.
