They make a delicious tres leches. They also make this to-die-for mild jalapeno cream sauce which goes great with meat and seafood. If you ever visit south Florida be sure to stop by your closest Los Ranchos.<br /><br />I was a huge fan of 'Survivor: Nicaragua' on CBS and the reality TV show inspired my friends and I to go surfing there. It's such a beautiful country with lush green landscaping and gorgeous beaches. And the seafood is so fresh! <br /><br />There are still some areas you don't want to wander about on your own. It's like Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. You stay in the resort/touristy areas and only travel with guides and tour buses when visiting other towns.<br /><br />We stayed in a gorgeous beachfront hotel with an infinity swimming pool and payed literally 50% of what we would have paid at a Cancun or Cozumel resort in Mexico.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-50354119858369126652010-01-31T14:13:17.105-08:002010-01-31T14:13:17.105-08:00Every time I see tres leches cakes, I want to eat ...Every time I see tres leches cakes, I want to eat them, yet I never have made one.
