If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican beer drinking experience consider swilling down a couple bottles of the following brands:

Dos XX is a pale lager with notes of malt, spice and citrus. It leaves the slightest sweet taste in your mouth.  This beer is served on draft at bars and restaurants in the Palladium. You’ll find your room mini-bar stocked with bottled Dos XX and Superior.

Negra Modela is a full bodied lager. When poured it shows a dark amber color with red high lights.  More flavorful than other beers, Negra Modela has notes of caramel and a subtle nuttiness. Plus, unlike other dark beers it isn’t as filling. There’s definitely more flavor in this beer than a Corona or Dos Equis.

Tecate is the Pabst Blue Ribbon of Mexico, it’s great on price and has a decent bite. It’s a lot like the older American beers of the 1970’s when they actually had a bit of taste.

These three beer brands will keep your taste buds amused while south of the border.

Listen to Merengue, the official Grand Palladium song. You need to have windows media player to listen.

This got me thinking, if VP Supply were to have a theme song what do you think it would be? I’m looking forward to your answers.

Pondering the scrumptious choices, your eyes wander from the menu, gazing beyond your reflection in the glass wall running parallel to your table. Outside the setting sun casts a pall over the shimmering fountains, the sparkling waters take on a hue close to your red wine. In the fading light you can just make out the glints of fat, golden coy darting about in the ponds.

“And what will you be having for dinner tonight?” The question from the head waiter breaks your stupor, reminding you of your hunger.

“Suddenly I’m in the mood for the charcoal grilled salmon steak,” you answer. Jotting down your meal, the waiter turns to leave, but pauses at your last request.

‘Do you mind bringing another loaf of bread? I’m starving.”

“Certainly.”

Note: If you would like to eat at the El Dorado, or any al carte restaurant at the Grand Palladium, be sure to make a reservation at the Guest Services desk in the hotel lobby. Your stay is for 5 nights, meaning you are entitled to reserve 2 dinner reservations.
