Went to a new Mexican restaurant tonight. These are supposed to be sopapillas.
(It was my mother who wrote “joke” on the plate btw lol)

pita chips

Semi related but I went to a mexican place on the Oregon coast once, I ordered steak fajitas, pretty simple meal. What i got was a small pile of unseasoned steak bits, plain white rice, and a pile of wet black beans fresh from the can. Not a pepper or onion in sight.

Back in my day we had to raise a little Mexico Flag to get sopapillas

Wait, I’m confused. Was it a restuarant *in* new Mexico, a restaurant that serves food local to new Mexico, or a recently established taco eatery?

Feel you brother. Sopapillas are always a crapshoot.

How much did that cost you? $5?

Narrator: “They were not sopapillas.”

I couldn’t imagine living somewhere that doesn’t have good Mexican food. I’m in Texas and it’s part of our food pyramid along with Steak, Brisket, HEB and Dr Pepper

Are those not just bunelos?

No. Sopapilla is not made like that. You fill it with some powder, not irregularly throw some chocolate sauce, chantilly and some sprinkles and call it a mexican food.

That’s what you get for not going to Stevie Nicks’ Fajita Round-Up.

I guess that’s why it’s New Mexico. It’s new so it’s still figuring it out

Where? If this happened in LA, the owners would be run out of town, chased by 10,000 slipper-wielding 5’1” abuelas.

This is what every Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to serves as sopapillas.
When I moved to New Mexico and said I hated sopapillas and my new New Mexican friends told me I was crazy I thought they were crazy.
“Who tf likes crispy tortillas in chocolate sauce? They just taste stale!”
Anyway have you ever had a hot bag of fresh New Mexican sopapillas thrown in your face by an angry 6’ goth man before?
It didn’t hurt but the honey packets he pelted me with after kinda did.

These are, at best, pita chips. How dare anyone call them sopas!

If I ordered sopapillas and go this, I’d be pretty livid, unless this was clearly described in the item description.
