Munching and snacking my way around Sayulita, I stumbled upon El Atazcon Restaurant. While I only planned for a quick bite with the family, I ended up chatting and dining my way well into the evening, while filling four little tummies. When it was time to leave, the whole family was smiling from ear to ear. Needless to say, we have been returning again, again, and again. El Atazcon Restaurant is sure to become your new favorite spot for traditional Mexican cuisine in Sayulita.

How does the song go? “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” Well, here in Sayulita it’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas, too! The firecrackers have started booming. I wonder why they go off at 6:00 a.m.? The only answer I have is “well, after all, it is Mexico!” I thought it would be appropriate to share a holiday recipe for my next few columns. Do you remember those old fashioned dinner rolls that we would have with our special Christmas dinner when we were younger? I made some this morning and they came out great; they are so easy and fun to make. If you spread them thick with butter, you will see why I am including this recipe with you. They are oh so yummy and also a recipe that is traditional and stands the test of time.

In my last column I told you that I was going to make Martha Stewart’s Butter Ring Cookies. Well, I did make them, but surprisingly they were NOT my favorite. However, I did make a savory dish this week that I totally loved: shrimp scampi. The shrimp were so succulent that I had to share this recipe with you. This is the perfect dish to prepare in your Sayulita kitchen because the prep and cooking can all be done on a stove top! Honestly, if I had been served this dish in a high-end restaurant I would have been raving about it.

An interview with Giorgio Capirone, owner and manager of MeQuiero Boutique. Giorgio, what is MeQuiero design? "MeQuiero is a boutique-style shop catering to both tourists and locals. We sell souvenirs and/or comfy clothing, like pants and Bermudas made with a particular type of fresh and simple cotton that are specially made for living in a hot and humid climate. They are of 100% Mexican origin and have a colorful design that will inevitably make your mind think back to the lovely streets of our Pueblo Magico, Sayulita. In the future we would like to let our MeQuiero designs roam and explore the rest of Mexico too, and possibly even abroad outside of Mexico."

Hotel Paraiso is one of the newest hotels currently being built in Sayulita. With a growing number of construction projects in Sayulita on hotels and tourist accomodations, at times it can feel as though our small Pueblo is shrinking and becoming overpopulated with similar buildings and infrastructure. Hotel Paraiso, however, is incredibly unique in its concept and vision, and is a hotel that will positively benefit our community. I speak with the owner, Alejandro, about the hotel and its unique qualities which make it stand out in Sayulita.
