No, it began to rain, as you may be able to see in the last photo, and we had other affairs to attend to. I would like to step in at El Rey and take some photos, as well as sample the product. I am pretty busy until late May when I anticipate being back in that neighborhood. If anyone here can...

Thanks for all the kind comments. Yes, we have been friends and coworkers since the early 90s. Sadly we are now working at differing work locations in the city so our ability to get together for days like this are limited. We try very hard, during the cool/dry season to get together for some...

Drive up to Perdomo's. They have a small shop...
