Monte Carlo is the city of glitz and over the top indulgence. I had to see it for at least a day trip and ended up finding my food paradise.

Monte Carlo Surprise

Monte Carlo is the exactly where you go to see the pretty people. Properly, perhaps not quite, but certainly wealthy. I was loafing in Nice for a couple of days and decided to join two travelers for a day trip to Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo is only a ten minute train ride from Nice, so it seemed like the excellent day trip.

Monte Carlo is the kind of location that tends to make you really feel insignificant. The place screams yachts, mirage las vegas cash, plastic surgery, funds, Ferrari and did I mention money? This is not a travel destination for the faint of budget.

Monte Carlo is mostly about beaches, being observed and a high finish casino. We had already hit the beaches in Nice, werent important adequate to be noticed and had been denied admission to the casino, so it was off to the museums.

Museums in Monte Carlo are fairly run of the mill with a single notable exception. Devote enough time in them and youll become convinced the Grimaldi royal loved ones is solely responsible for human civilization. Ive been known to embellish on occasion, but the museums are ridiculous.

As day turned to evening, it was time to find something to consume. There were plenty of restaurants, but we either couldnt afford them or werent dressed appropriately with our shorts. Walking back to the train station, we stumbled upon paradise itself.

Growing up in San Diego, California, one becomes addicted to Mexican food. Unfortunately, there arent a lot of Mexican food restaurants in Europe. In reality, I hadnt eaten a rolled taco for two months. That was about to modify.

Turning the corner on a single of many endless little streets in Monaco, we were stunned to see a line of folks waiting outside a door. The sign vegas strip clubs over the door flamingo las vegas read Juans and paradise was before us. Turns out the restaurant was owned by a San Diego resident and served authentic Mexican food. Rolled tacos, chicken tortilla soup and Dos Equis beer.

Mexican food in Monaco was absolutely my thought of paradise. Of course, it set me back $75, but I really didnt care at that point.
