Almuerzo – Good Lunch Choice in Puerto Lopez #AtoZChallenge
On main street, Comedor Maritza serves delicious $3 Almuerzo, prix fixe lunch.
Choose a soup, then a meat, served with salad, rice, beans and juice. Yum!

I am a US Expat in Ecuador. I grew up on a Minnesota farm, worked in IT in California's Silicon Valley, then moved to a coastal Ecuador fishing village. My goal is to share Ecuador with you, one snippet at a time. Topics include attractions, compassion, ecotourism, Ecuador products, everyday Ecuador, and flora and fauna. Please let me know what you would like to read more about!

Isn't it great to add some Spanish to round out the A to Z challenge? 🙂
Emily Bloomquist
It is great to begin with Spanish! 🙂
Hope all is well in Mexico. I am heading over to your blog now.

It seems very appealing. I think I'm going to enjoy your A to Z posts. I'm always dreaming of visiting Ecuador!
Emily Bloomquist
You should have a better idea what to expect by Z. Especially if you visit the coast. Thanks Eva!

$3 is such a bargain for that much food and drink! I can't recall getting any food that cheap when we went to Ecuador, but there were definitely food bargains to be had. I wish produce in the U.S. were as inexpensive as it is in Ecuador.

Tossing It Out
Emily Bloomquist
I know! The price just can't be beat! Not all restaurants offer an almuerzo option and some that do can be as high as $6 so it pays to ask around. Produce prices in the US always surprise me when I visit, even though I know I should expect them to be higher.
Ronel Janse van Vuuren
Sounds like a good lunch 🙂
