Last week we took advantage of a Groupon deal we had purchased some time ago and hit up Mexico Lindo Tacos & Grill in Sherwood Park. This is a casual little Mexican eatery on Broadmoor Blvd playing lively Mexican music and serving up good quality food.

Since it was our first time we wanted to try a number of dishes and that is exactly what we did (maybe a few too many as we had leftovers for days). The portions are a decent size for the price and the food comes out quickly.

We started dinner with the guacamole which is fresh avocado, tomatoes, chopped onions, cilantro, serrano pepper, fresh squeeze of lime juice, olive oil all served with fresh homemade corn chips. It is served in a deceivingly tall wooden container (it’s really filled about ⅓ of the container).

Gary and I have decided to spend some time in Rarotonga this winter. Now, I am sure many of you are thinking - Rarotonga? Where in the heck is that (or at least that is what I was thinking when I first heard about it). Rarotonga is one of 15 islands that make up the Cook Islands which are located in the South Pacific Ocean. I think we have read every blog, pinterest post, website and instagram post to try and learn as much as we can about Rarotonga and what we might do. Without ever being there before, here is our top 5 wish list of things to do.
