Dishes to know on this menu

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: Burrito · Chorizo & Egg Burrito · Spicy Chicken Burrito.
Mole: Not one sauce but an enormous family of sauces built from combinations of chiles, spices, seeds, nuts, fruits, herbs and other ingredients. Some contain chocolate; many do not. Puebla is famous for mole poblano. Oaxaca is particularly celebrated for its variety of moles, including dark mole negro and green mole verde. Mole is commonly served with poultry or other meat, accompanied by rice and tortillas, but both recipes and uses vary widely. On this menu as: Mole Sauce & Chips · 2 Mole Sauce Tacos · Enchiladas de Mole.
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: 2 Chorizo & Egg Tacos · 2 Chorizo Tacos · Chorizo & Egg Burrito.
Enchiladas: Tortillas filled, rolled or folded and served with chile sauce or another sauce. Corn tortillas are traditional, but preparation varies widely by region. Rojas use a red sauce, while verdes use a green sauce. Enmoladas replace the chile sauce with mole, and enfrijoladas use a bean sauce. Enchiladas suizas are typically topped with a creamy green sauce and melted cheese. Tex-Mex enchiladas developed their own traditions, including versions topped with cheese, chile con carne or chile gravy. On this menu as: Enchiladas de Mole · Enchiladas Rojas · Enchiladas Verdes.
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: Horchata Agua Fresca · Jamaica Agua Fresca · Tamarindo Agua Fresca.
Fajitas: Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese. On this menu as: Beef Fajita Bowl · Chicken Fajita Bowl · Vegetarian Fajita Bowl.
