Burritos: A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling. Northern Mexican burritos are often relatively slender and focused on one or two fillings such as beans, machaca or a guisado. In the United States, the form developed in several directions. San Francisco's Mission burrito is large and typically includes rice, beans and numerous fillings. San Diego's California burrito famously adds french fries. A wet burrito is covered in sauce and eaten with a knife and fork. On this menu as: Burritos · Burrito Alegre · Burrito Dorado.
Ceviche & aguachile: Ceviche combines seafood with citrus juice and ingredients such as onion, chile, cilantro and tomato. Recipes vary throughout Mexico's coastal regions. The acid changes the texture and appearance of raw seafood, but it does not make raw seafood microbiologically equivalent to cooking it with heat. Aguachile, particularly associated with Sinaloa, is commonly made from raw shrimp dressed shortly before serving with lime, fresh chiles, cucumber and red onion. It can be seriously hot. Cóctel de camarón is a shrimp cocktail commonly served in a tomato-based sauce, while campechana usually combines several kinds of seafood. On this menu as: Coctel de Camarones · Ceviche.
Arroz, frijoles & sides: The supporting cast of a Mexican restaurant plate deserves its own vocabulary. Arroz rojo is rice cooked with tomato and seasonings. Frijoles refritos are cooked beans mashed and fried or reheated with fat. Despite the English translation "refried," the Spanish refritos does not mean they must literally be fried twice. Frijoles de la olla are whole beans served in their cooking broth. Frijoles charros are pinto beans cooked with ingredients that can include bacon, chorizo, tomato and chiles. Rajas are strips of roasted chile, commonly poblano. Nopales are cactus paddles. Elote means corn on the cob and on restaurant menus often refers to Mexican-style dressed corn. Esquites are corn kernels served in a cup with various seasonings and toppings. On this menu as: Refried Beans · Frijoles Charros.
Al pastor: Marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit called a trompo, then sliced for tacos. The style developed in central Mexico from spit-roasting techniques brought by Lebanese immigrants and is related to shawarma. Many versions use dried chiles and achiote, and pineapple is a common accompaniment. In Tijuana and parts of northwestern Mexico, a closely related style is commonly called adobada. Preparation varies, and not every restaurant advertising pastor uses a trompo. On this menu as: Tacos Al Pastor.
Carne asada: Grilled beef, chopped or sliced for tacos, burritos and plates. Skirt, flank and other relatively thin cuts are common, with seasoning ranging from little more than salt to marinades containing citrus, garlic or other ingredients. Carne asada is particularly associated with northern Mexico and is also the name for the social tradition of gathering around a grill for a carne asada cookout. On this menu as: Carne Asada Aztlan.
Carnitas: Pork slowly cooked until tender, traditionally in its own fat, with some pieces allowed to brown or crisp. Carnitas are strongly associated with Michoacán. Dedicated carnitas shops may offer different cuts and textures rather than simply "pork." Maciza generally refers to leaner meat, cueritos to skin and buche to stomach. Carnitas may also be sold by weight for groups and takeout. On this menu as: Rudy's Carnitas.
