Tonight We Ate At Temaky...a Sushi Bar (Yes, I got the menu!)

Brother Sacker came home (well, the hotel suite) tonight and said they had lunch at a little sushi bar downtown.  He raved and raved about the sushi and said that he really could eat sushi again for dinner.  He knows how much I love sushi, so I think Brother Sacker was kind of fishing for the "sure, let's go" comment!  Which, of course, he got!!  So, we called Jesus Ortiz to come get us.  As soon as we get in the taxi, Jesus asks Brother Sacker where we are having dinner tonight.  Brother Sacker told him about Temaky and where he THOUGHT it was located downtown.  Thought being the important word here!!  So, we get downtown and can't find Tamaky!!  Jesus Ortriz just yelled out the window and asked some guys where Tamaky was!!  This man is just a hoot!!  So, we take a small tour of downtown Ensenada (shoe stores EVERYwhere, I might add!!) and finally find Tamaky.  Jesus Ortiz leaves us there and says he will be back to pick us up at 7:30.  We go in and they recognize Brother Sacker, seat us, introductions are made and we order an appetizer of Ensenada mushrooms.  They brought us a bowl of soy beans, still in the pod thingy with some salt sprinkled on them...still steaming hot!!  Now, Brother Sacker has tried for several years to get me to eat soy beans...the perfect "super food"...yeah...SO not happening!  So, I absent mindedly pick one up, pop one out and eat one.  OMW...I found out that I really do like steamed soy beans!  We also ordered iced tea, which was a green tea and really good.  We ordered an Ensenada roll and a Spider roll and ended up bringing half of the Ensenada roll home.  After Brother Sacker made our order, I told him that he hadn't ordered anything with masaga (smelt roe/eggs...WAY yummy!)on it and Patricio (our waiter) said he would have the sushi chef put some masaga on the Spider roll!  This was some good sushi...fresh scallops, crab, absolutely fab!!  The camera batteries died just when I wanted to get a picture, so we came back to the hotel, with a menu (they don't give out menus, but Patricio said he liked us and gave us one...in Spanish!) of course and took a pic of it.  See below.  I love Mexico!!
