SNACKS: Chip review II
While at the Super in Puerto Viejo, we purchased several bags of chips of various sorts. Today, I will tell you about the chips pictured above: Jack's Mejitos Fiesta Extra Grande - tortillitas de maiz amarillo con sal (yellow corn tortillas with salt - translated for all y'all gringos)
Size 300g OR 10.5oz
Price 940CRC
These were hands-down the tastiest yellow corn tortilla chips I've ever put my lips on. Very, very light and extra crisp. They were beautifully with the guacamole I made (using fresh avocados, cilantro, dash of Lizano, fresh limes, and mayonnaise from a SQUEEZE BAG - they don't sell mayo in regular jars down here. It comes in a squeeze bag with a nozzle at the top-left corner.) They didn't crumble into nothingness, in spite of their light texture and they were salted just right.
In fact, they were so tasty that I wasn't excessively disappointed when we ate all the guac because there was still half-a-bag of chips left to enjoy. However, we were not hawgs that night and we put away the delightful Jack's Mejitos to eat later.
Today, we uncurled the bag (folded up without any "chip clip" or other nonsense) that had been riding along with us for three or four days now. The chips were remarkably fresh and just as tasty as they had been the first time we opened them up.
We highly recommend Jack's Mejitos to anyone in Costa Rica needing a fine chip for snacking or other purposes.
