Pineapple Fried Rice

🍴 Badfins 🍽️ This spot is right next to our hotel, just a quick 2-minute walk away—super convenient after a long flight! ✈️ Google had it rated really high, and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. Perfect for our first meal in town, setting such a great vibe for the rest of the trip! 🌍✨ They’re all about Mexican flavors here, and from start to finish, it was a tasty treat that made us forget all about jet lag. We kicked things off with chips & guac 🥑—a total must for any Mexican meal, right? Their guacamole had this bright, tangy zing (a little sour, but in that fresh, zesty way that wakes up your taste buds!), and the tortilla chips? Chef’s kiss 😘 They were paper-thin, so crispy they crunched with every bite, and somehow stayed crunchy even when dipped—no soggy mess here! I swear, we could’ve polished off a whole basket by ourselves; they were that addictive. For tacos, we couldn’t pick just one, so we went for two kinds: The pork taco 🐷 was absolute perfection! The meat was slow-cooked to that fall-off-the-bone tenderness, seasoned with spices that hit just right—warm, savory, and full of depth. And then there was the pineapple 🍍—juicy, sweet, with a tiny hint of tartness that cut through the richness of the pork. Every bite was a flavor party in my mouth—sweet, salty, spicy, and fresh all at once! The grouper taco 🐟… let’s just say it played second fiddle. My alumni friend, who’s got a pretty sharp palate, mentioned the fish was a bit on the mild side—like, it didn’t have that bold seafood flavor we were hoping for 😐 It was still okay, with some fresh veggies and a light sauce, but next to the pork taco, it just didn’t stand a chance. Now, let’s talk drinks 🍹—they were the cherry on top! I went for a pineapple-themed cocktail, and first off, it was so cute—garnished with a little pineapple wedge and a tiny umbrella, like a mini tropical vacation in a glass 🍍💖 The flavor? Think creamy coconut goodness, almost like a dessert milkshake, with just a whisper of pineapple. Hardly any alcohol taste at all, which was perfect for me since I’m not big on strong drinks. My friend opted for the daily special: a coconut pineapple mojito 🌴 Minty, icy, and so refreshing—you could taste the fresh lime, the sweet coconut, and a hint of pineapple, with just enough rum to make it feel like a cocktail (but not enough to overpower the fruit). We sipped them slowly, soaking in the atmosphere, and both agreed it was hands down the best drink choice of the night! 💕 Honestly, I’m already planning a return trip—those pork tacos and that mojito are stuck in my head, and I need round two! 😋 If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t regret it. #Patan #Meatlover#Restaurantrecommendation
