I ate a lot of food while in Mexico, in both quantity and variety.  What I miss and crave the most are the chilled fresh mango and cucumber served in plastic cups with lime juice and dusted with bit of chili powder and salt.  I bought them from a man walking down the beach.  It is absolutely the most refreshing and satisfying snack to have on a sunny beach or to have to remind you of a sunny beach.
