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. In 2019, I returned to Minnesota. I still love and visit Ecuador frequently and have many friends there.

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 🙂
