Burgers as big as your Head!

Last night was a spontaneous trip to Pablo Picassos ( a place I'd never heard of till then). We have visitors in the house across from ours and one of them had been to the place 6 years ago. It's a restaurant in playa negra, we were told had fish tacos as big as your head. Well who can pass on that, so we all piled into our respective cars - they drove compact we drove 4x4 and off we went. Since we were the "locals" we led the way, but once we passed Aveanas we were in uncharted territory, in the dark, following a mini truck with a huge tire in the back. The road got so rough in parts that we were literally bumping our way off the road, like ice except on dirt. It's a strange sensation when you bumping straight and the next thing your doing a shimmy to the right toward the soft sand the the dread of getting stuck.

It's also unnerving when you pass by a truck that resembles a two truck on the side of the road, with a couple locals hang out and you get the feeling they just know they're services are going to be needed. The last car in a our caravan almost bumped off into a ravine. "I saw my life flash before my eyes," he said once we reached the restaurant.

Once we passed through Playa Negra we figured we gone to far so we asked for directions. First from locals, who told us we'd gone to far, and then from a surf shop that asked "Do you really want to go there?" I wasn't sure if they were joking or drunk. Either way we made it, first you go left at the fork in the road, then left again, and it's on the left hand side. Anyone else noticing a pattern?

Pablo himself is owner, cook, server, host and an all around great guy. No one was there, so we had the place to ourselves. Turns out its the burgers that are as big as your head, not the fish tacos, but we all wanted them anyways and they were delicious. They had a spicy sauce that gave them a real kick, and we ended up ordering several plates extra just because no one could get enough.

No one ordered a burger, even though there was much talk about it - (it is a 1 kilo patty meaning 2.2 pounds of mooing madness) - but next time we go back someone is going to have to get it, just so I can see what it looks like. . . . .
