Monterrey, Hurricane Emily 2005

This was the bridge connecting the counties of Monterrey and Guadalupe.
Due to some movement caused by the strong current of the Santa Catarina river, a liquefied natural gas duct was ruptured and there was an explosion and fire. The displacement of the columns of the bridge rendered it too unsafe and it was decided the bridge needed demolition, this is the process.

Monterrey, near Parque Fundidora

This pickup truck is loaded with great cooking and lot of smiles and good humor.
Located between Karl's Jr and Popeye's, this is authentic fast food in great flavor and extremely affordable prices.

The food is fresh from the day. They ran out of everything daily before heading home.
On the top they display de the names of the "guisos" still available and they remove those signs as they finish the day's supply. No leftovers to root like in the big chain restaurants.

The friendly couple that runs the "show", she is a great cook. He is making some yummy avocado salsa. Ask them about any tip for enjoying Monterrey, they are always willing to help you, even with other food recomendations, they are not envious and will lovely head you in the right direction.
