Dishes to know on this menu

Aguas frescas & horchata: Aguas frescas are chilled drinks made by blending or infusing water with fruit, grains, flowers or seeds and sweetening to taste. Common flavors include jamaica, made from hibiscus; tamarindo, made from tamarind; and seasonal fruits such as melon, pineapple and cucumber with lime. Horchata is commonly rice-based in Mexican restaurants and flavored with cinnamon, although horchata recipes vary across Mexico and the Spanish-speaking world. On this menu as: Agua Frescas · Jamaica · Horchata.
Quesadillas: A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas. On this menu as: Quesadillas · Quesadilla · Quesadilla con Chorizo.
Chorizo: Mexican chorizo is generally a fresh, seasoned sausage rather than the firm cured sausage associated with Spain. Pork is common, along with dried chiles, vinegar and spices. The casing is often removed before cooking so the sausage can crumble into eggs, potatoes, tacos or melted cheese. Longaniza is a related sausage with regional variations of its own, while green chorizo is particularly associated with Toluca and the State of Mexico. On this menu as: Chorizo · Quesadilla con Chorizo.
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: Nopales · Frijoles con Queso.
Chiles: poblano, jalapeño, serrano & habanero: Four fresh chiles you'll see repeatedly on Mexican menus. Poblano is a large, dark green chile generally on the mild side. It is commonly roasted for rajas and chiles rellenos. Jalapeño ranges from relatively mild to surprisingly hot. It may be served fresh, pickled or blistered whole as a chile toreado. Serrano is smaller and generally hotter than a jalapeño and is widely used in fresh salsas. Habanero has a fruity aroma and substantially more heat. It is especially associated with Yucatecan cooking. Individual peppers vary, sometimes considerably, so treat any heat ranking as approximate. On this menu as: Mole Poblano · Chiles Toreados.
Cochinita pibil: A Yucatecan preparation of pork seasoned with achiote and citrus, traditionally cooked slowly using the pib, an underground oven. Restaurant versions are commonly wrapped in banana leaves and roasted until the pork can be shredded. Pickled red onion is a classic accompaniment, as is habanero salsa for anyone who wants considerably more heat. On this menu as: Cochinita Pibil.
