When our dad came to visit us, he brought along many wonderful treats from Northgate González Market, a small chain of authentic Mexican markets specializing in freshly prepared foods:

Shrimp Ceviche
Shrimp and Octopus Ceviche
Lime-Marinated Shrimp
Pico de Gallo Salsa
Marinated Carrots
Fresh Guacamole
Handmade Corn Tortillas
Tostadas
Goat-Milk Lolipops

These various dishes served as the basis for many delicious lunches and dinners in the days that followed.
