OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

Puerto Nuevo, A How-To Guide

Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a total novice, navigating the mainways and byways of Puerto Nuevo can drive the best of us to drinking.  An endless number of restaurants, untold quantities of left hand turns, never ending doormen blocking your way, attempting to entice you into their place of business, these are just a few of the hazards you'll find at the once-upon-a-time, sleepy lobster village.

The following is offered as a helpful script to guide you through the maze, with the ultimate destination being this place, the best in town:


Enter the Puerto Nuevo arches from the main road and head alllllllll the way to the end of the street, until you can go no further (in a straight line any way.... don't be stupid).  Also, please stop at all of the stop signs, they hide them and without warning you can slide right on by.   Under no circumstances are you to stop for anyone waving menus at you, calling you their best friend, do not even hesitate at the offer of free margaritas or the largest lobsters in town.  These are all just pathetic ploys by the desperate street hawkers.  Simply smile and keep driving.  Once you reach the end of the street make a left.  Continue past the curio shops and when you see this guy, STOP, you have arrived!


This is Sparky, and he'll guide you right to Olas Del Mar

If you arrive before sunset you might like to sit outside, enjoying a view like this possibly...



Maybe you'll be lucky enough to have someone along to enjoy this all with you too.  It's always fun to share... at least that's what Mom always said.



Everyone one at this place is great, but our personal favorite is Antonio. 

Cool guy, great waiter, a true pleasure to talk to.  Plus he knows what we like and makes the whole experience awesome.



Alright, enough talking for now, let's have a drink!

A shot of tequila and a margarita, ahhhhhhhhhh



Guacamole?  Si si si 



Chips and salsa?  Uhmmm, yeah!



The meal comes with tortilla soup.  Really really great stuff.  Deep rich flavor, tomatoey, chickeny, who knows what elsey?!?!?!?  It's good.  There are slices of avocado and some cheese there on the bottom as well.  Really, I could just have this and be happy.





But let's not be rediculous, we are here for the lobster, so let's begin



Cut in half and deep fried.  Rice, beans, tortillas, limes, melted butter, yeah, wow


These tortillas were made about 30 seconds ago



This is for two people.....


The beginning of my plate


And then


And before you know it, it's over.


Bye bye little friend, it was great seeing you again


$40, Guacamole was an extra $5, shot and drink was included as well.  So full, so happy, so gonna come back soon, and you should too. 


Go to Mexico

Go eat lobster

Arriba!
