South of the border.....

My current favourite flavours are Mexican and Melbourne (often us Melbournians are referred to as Mexicans by our Northern neighbors) has now some great authentic Mexican restaurants dotted across the city.

This week I wanted to try Paco's Tacos for lunch to see how good their $6 tacos were. I wasn't disappointed.

Located right next to Movida Aqui. The design is set up like a big Taco truck, similar to the style which is now big in the USA and some parts of Melbourne and Sydney the 'pop up restaurant.' Fortunately the weather was sunny and warmish! As we sat inside the big yellow cage like setting with a heater nearby to take the chill away.

Menu options for the tacos were pork, beef, chicken, duck, prawns, beans all served with coriander, cabbage and spring onion and delicious sauces. I wanted to try the fish taco to compare to the fantastic ones I have had in the USA. It was a very tasty taco. Fresh fish lightly crumbed and fried then served with a crunchy slaw type salad and chipotle mayo.. Served in a little basket with a wedge of lime to squeeze over the top. The tortillas were corn and made fresh that day.

The service was friendly and very fast, great if your in a hurry on want lunch on the go, given they are right in the heart of the business district this is a great option.  I will definately go back to try other tacos.

Of course all inspiration for my up coming Mexican dinner....









This week a couple of job opportunities came up, one in Sydney and one in Brisbane... in this current market it is very tempting to think seriously about moving interstate, or even to the USA (lots of HR head roles in California at the moment) for a role.

Of course it would have to be the right role and company. There are always positives and negatives to consider in making a move. The weather and lifestyle is a big positive for a Brisbane role.

For me it would be another relocation away from family and friends, and having been back for just over 3 years it doesn't seem like a good option to seriously consider.

So I have put that on the back burner for now. An option to reconsider if I am still looking in the New Year I guess.

So South of the Border I will stay for now...

What is your favourite flavours for food that you crave right now?
And what would you recommend to try? I am open to lunches!
