■ MAZATLAN, MEXICO: The premier beach resort in the state of Sinaloa is called Mazatlan. As with most Mexican cities they are theming with exotic street food dishes. The specialty in Sinaloa seem to be seafood. The main beach of Mazatlan was no exception. The only problem was that I dislike seafood with a passion.

Lucky for me I came across a dish called Coco Loco. Essentially a coconut covered in shrimps and spiced up with some sauces and spices of unknown origins.
