Today I was SO happy to get out of the apartment and away from grad school homework (well, not really....I was working on lesson plans in the car! lol).
Dave and I were headed to the outlets in Kittery, and decided to stop for a few bites to eat. The Bigos (mom's cousin and family) brought us to a great little Mexican joint the last time we saw them, and they also recommended a bakery in the area. Check it out:
We started off at Loco Coco's Tacos.
(sorry for the horrible photo above- I had forgotten to take one of the restaurant, so I snapped this from the car window as we drove away!)
The logo has a (somewhat racist) cartoon image of a Mexican man, and the colors inside remind me of a Taco Bell- not the kind of restaurant that I would expect to have great food.....so imagine our surprise when we tasted how good it was!
Dave and I ordered 3 things, and split each of them for the best variety. First, shrimp ceviche:
I like the flavor of shrimp, but was never really a fan of the texture. Luckily, the shrimp in the ceviche had a delightful texture! It was served with some great (not to greasy) chips. Yum!
We also got some chicken and cheese enchiladas.....
....and some great beer-battered fish tacos:
We hope to go back to Coco Loco's again to try some of the other stuff on their menu!
After some outlet shopping, we went on over to the Beach Pea Baking Co.
I satisfied my sweet tooth with a chocolate coconut cupcake, filled with some tasty buttercream:
Dave went with a tiramisu cream puff. We kind of split them, and they were both tasty! I preferred the cupcake though, because the pastry of the cream puff was not as good as some others that I have had.
We also grabbed a cookie to enjoy later tonight. I'm totally just pretending to eat it below! It's called a "Cowgirl Cookie," and it is an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut. Awesome!
