When in Puerto Vallarta, Start the Day the Mexican Way

Remember the good old days, when you mom went to great lengths to get you to eat breakfast, that fabled “most important meal of the day.” Well, cowboy, the facts that you’re on vacation, that you’re living in a luxurious Puerto Vallarta villa, and that you danced last night until the roosters started to crow this morning doesn’t mean you get to skip el desayuno (how the locals refer to the MIMotD).

And really, when you learn what’s on the menu, you’re not going to want to miss one delicious bite. Say, for example, that your night involved both dancing and adult beverages, and you’re feeling just a bit shaky on your hind legs. Go for a continental breakfast, complete with locally roasted coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice and some Mexican sweet bread (if you’re feeling strong, try a dash of cinnamon in that coffee).

When you wake up with a huge appetite, no doubt the chef at your Puerto Vallarta villa will offer you a breakfast to rival the best. Again, expect the OJ and coffee – they’re staples of a good Mexican breakfast. Add to that a breakfast platter heaped with tortillas, chorizo (sausage), refritos and huevos (eggs). And best of all, it’s available with a side of sunrise.
