This was so cool can anyone figure out what it is?

Filete de mojarra, Fud Salchicas De Pollo. Tostada plana, La Costena Napalitos, Pollo Rostizado, Tostada Nortena or El Paraiso tostada Casera, Chuleta De Res O Mixto Para Caldo.

Can you guess what this is? It is only a partial listing. :D

My Guess
Kat I know you travel all across the US . My guess is you found a Mexican restaurant with Vallarta style meals ? :)
The names of boats in a marina somewhere?

sunday brunch menu at a local restaurant?
O.K. no one was really close but I thought it would be fun to get you thinking. So here is the answer:

Wednesday morning I was reading my local newspaper ( finally got a break from traveling for a couple of weeks) and I saw this ad. The colors design, etc. caught my eye. To my surprise it was the first I have seen of an ad for Gigante in my newspaper.

I knew of two stores but those two have now grown to nine and one is pretty darn close to my house. The design and style of the ad is the same as you see in PV.

They also have fresh hot tortillas, so between the tortillas and pollo rostizado I am definitely there. :P

Do I dare think their bakery is the same too?

Check it out: www.giganteusa.com

edited to say if the link does not work for you paste it into your browser. It is not working for me but I have been having computer problems.
I went in and fixed the link so it should be working now.

I wish we had one here. :cry:


editted for spelling
We have a ton of mexican markets here too, more like smaller tiendas, the one I used to go get my carne asada preparado from closed down but there are a couple of others within a mile or so of my house. But the Gigante ad just took be back to PV.

Thanks Lori for fixing the link.

Smitty I do find those resturants once in a while in my travels. I just found one on my last contract in Ohio. It was a family run resturant and they were all from Guadalajara and Tonala. The first night I went in I answered the waiter in Spanish when he asked me if I wanted something to drink. I think I shocked the heck out of him, seems like most of the people in Ohio do not speak Spanish. I got to know them quite well while I was there and it did not take them long to automatically say, \"Are you ready for your marguerita\" as soon as I sat down, even in the middle of a snowstorm. :D
