- Enchiladas en Mole Poblano
I've had Mole Poblano pllenty of times in the states, but this one was the most balanced and tasty one I've had! It had a nice flavor of spices, chocolate, and maybe raisins. So food!
2 + 3. Omelette + quesadilla de pollo entomatado
I got a vegetable omelette to make up for my vegetable deficit and ordered a quesadilla to go with it. The quesadilla had a nice tortilla and it was among the best quesadillas I've had so far. Just the right amount of cheese and a tasty, probably handmade tortilla.
- Taco de Al Pastor and Taco de Arrachera
Great tortilla and nice tender meats! Both had a tenderness that exceeds that of most of the tacos I have in the US
- Sopa de pollo + salbute con pollo
Very good caldo and nice presentation + balance of ingredients. It came with some chopped hot peppers that I mistakenly thought were a curtido, I tossed them all in and damn was that hot!
- Torta de res
Tortas are very common here in New York, but I mainly only see the round ones with more ingredients (I assume to be typical of tortas from Puebla and CDMX) . This one was very good and a nice change of pace, a little smaller and less messy.
- Pollo pibil
Delicious sauce and super tender chicken. This might be blasphemous but I actually prefer it over standard Cochinita with pork.
- Relleno Negro
Delicious, savory sauce. Came with a stack of like 12 tortillas for one serving, thought that was a little overwhelming considering it's already a starchy dish!
- Arroz con huevo + panucho de cochinita pibil
Simple but very tasty, the rice was savory like it had chicken grease in it. The cochinita was very nice too.
I also had plenty of tacos as well that I didn't get pictures of. Such as some really good birria tacos I had, they had a sort of extra beefy, confit like flavor that birria tacos in the US tend to not have (they tend to rely more on chile for flavor).
I'm happy that I got to try way more Mexican food than I get to in the US, but there was so much more that I wish I could have tried! Mariscos are a must next time, among a bunch of other things I had in mind.
