Bacon wrapped shrimp in Kahlua

This was one of my favorite dishes that was served in only this restaurant as far as I could tell.  Tony's served up a unique combination of brain pleasers!  I will be trying to make this and post my results. 

Mazatlan, which means "land of the deer" (or dear land literally), is the shrimp capitol of the world.  It is also a huge production area for tomatoes.  There is even a tomato on the licence plates of the state of Sinaloa, Mexico for this reason.  Pacifico beer is the number 3 industry of the area.  Tourism is also high on the list of income for this area.  We went through our hotel to book tours, partly because it was cheaper, but also we trusted our time-share hotel to uphold the high quality that is what makes us buy with them.  Vista Tours in Mazatlan has excellent guides.  They are knowledgeable, speak good English (though you have to pay attention), are always willing to answer questions or repeat themselves, and will accommodate your needs if you let them know what is required (bathroom break, drink need, etc).  Never be afraid to ask politely for a water or bathroom stop.  Your guides can only take care of your needs if they know what that is.  On the tour shown above, we were going into the oldest bakery in Mazatlan.  We came out with three bags (one quart size or so) of goodies!!!  Needless to say, Jerry and I both gained weight on this trip.  The next tour that took us into a bakery, we came out with only one bag that wasn't even full!  Good gosh!  But I must say, they have the best baked goods I've had (not including bread). 

Tomorrow you will learn more about the food, people, and our resort.
