Beer. Tortilla press. Lime juicer. (Cerveza. Prensa de tortillas. Exprimidor de limones.) All can be purchased at any Mexican city’s grocery store for a fraction (US $12 for the press, US $5 for the juicer) of what one would pay in US stores or by ordering these items online. The lime juicer must be seen in action to be believed – fast, efficient, wastes no lime; one merely cuts off the stem end of the lime, inserts the rest of the critter – whole – into the juicer, gives a vigorous squeeze, and within a second ALL the juice is extracted either into a beverage or to be drizzled over a vegetable, fruit or meat dish. No wastage whatsoever. Awesome.
Our advice: do not buy these items until you have checked in to Mexico – only then, get your fine self to the nearest grocery store and buy these products. Your days will be happy.
