Puerto Angle is a fabulous, end of the road fishing village, with a few tourist facilities now. If you’re looking for the real Mexico, here’s the spot. When I first saw Puerto Angel there was no hotel, no resturante and no cinema. Read more The cantina was small and mostly outdoors and the only accommodation was arranging the use of a hammock in a fisherman’s shack or sleep on the beach. I think this was the most isolated place I ever visited in Mexico and cooking was done in a cast iron pot over the fire, on a piece of boiler plate or in a stone and clay oven. I found this chimichanga in Puerto Angel. I didn’t write the recipe down at the time and this is from memory. Beef was rare but seafood and chickens were plentiful. And so, a chicken chimichanga cooked in the oven. See less
