February 03, 2005El SarapeJust returned from lunch with the IDEM crowd. About twice a week we head to El Sarape, a hole-in-the-wall restaurant on 8th Avenida. Really, it would be quite easy to walk right by this place without ever realizing it was there. Even if you were to notice it, you might still be unimpressed by the tiny space and underwhelmed by the décor... Mexican movie stills stapled to every inch of the white walls. You might even be tempted to quietly back out the door and look for a more "established" eatery. And, oh, what a mistake that would be. Because Christian, the guy behind the counter... the guy who takes your order... the guy who brings you your food... the guy who clears the table... and the guy who will charge you on your way out... also happens to make the most delicious tacos you're ever likely to taste! I'm not exaggerating when I say that we consciously have to limit ourselves to keep from overeating each and every time we go there. I suspect that one day we might even decide, en masse, not to return to the office, but rather to keep eating tacos until the place shuts down or we pass out from "tacovereatis". So, for those of you lucky enough to find yourself in Guatemala City... El Sarape is on 8th Avenida between 12th & 13 Calles. You can thank me later. For the rest of you... a photo:
