My mom’s enchiladas and frijoles de olla were delicious as usual. I made garlic mashed potatoes from the Cook’s Illustrated recipe, with milk instead of half and half. Good. A fennel, chestnut and walnut confit from...

are going to be different. BUt with so many places serving great antojitos of all kinds, what a pity you can’t find something you like. Then again – I’m more of a taco-eater. and cemitas. and enchiladas. when it...

I’ve seen ads for Acalpulco that not only feature a HUGE enchilada combo with rice, beans, meat, etc., but then offer a discounted dessert of “deep fried ice cream” or some such idiocy. Just what you need after...

Joe’s, Redondo Beach. Chicken Fried steak and eggs — heart attack on a plate. Enchilada omelette and John Wayne special are also terrific. Tey do a good job on the pancakes as well. They also often have cream chipped...

Authentic and tradition are parts of understanding the whole enchilada. If you have no tradition, you have no basis for comparison. Whether you like it or not, there is a structure and understanding to art, music and food that is...

-3 hours on medium. 7. After 2-3 hours, uncover the Crock Pot and simmer uncovered for another hour or so (to cook off some of the liquid). Use the meat for tacos, burritos, sandwiches (tortas), enchiladas, etc. A few weeks ago, I...

of the same ingredients, same taste – basically the same food with mere cosmetic differences to make it seem like something different. Example: Mass-market Fettucine Alfredo with grilled chicken tastes virtually identical...

awesome authentic menu(little austin secret) Curra’s on Oltorf is another authentic choice. El Arroyo on 5th is great. Guerro’s on Congress is over rated but nice so instead go to this one down the street: El Sol Y La...

Dona Tortas was listed in a recent Chicago Magazine for best hot dog—which was quite a surprise to me. But apparently, not on the menu, they do serve some enchilada-like hot dog dish, which is what Chicago Mag was referring...

. Service was deadpan to the point of being contemptuous. The carnitas were as good as ever, and I suppose I could come here once a year to just eat those, but the thought just makes me sad. My eight-year-old had to fight to get the...

...and stacked enchiladas

attended with my husband. My friend had us over and served spinach enchiladas. When we arrived, I knew we were in trouble as my husband HATES cooked spinach. Usually, the smell of it is enough to induce his gag reflex. But, he...

OK. taste again. I go to the Farmers Market fairly often. Went to Loteria once. Ordered two varieties of enchiladas. One was passable, one was horrible. The meat was dry. The sauce was good but not fantastic. I think it’s...
