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: #9 Mini Mixed Burrito · #10 Mini Beef or Chicken Burrito · #17 Mini Carne Asada or Carnitas 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: #1 Two Cheese Enchiladas · #2 Two Beef or Carnitas Enchiladas · #3 Two Chicken Enchiladas.
Tamales: Masa wrapped around or alongside a filling, enclosed in a corn husk, banana leaf or other wrapper and steamed. Fillings vary enormously by region and can include pork or chicken in chile sauce, cheese and rajas, beans, vegetables, fruit and sweet preparations. The singular Spanish form is tamal, although "tamale" is common in English. Tamales are sold individually and by the dozen and are particularly prominent during holidays and celebrations. On this menu as: #4 A Cheese Enchilada & a Tamale · #5 A Beef Enchilada & a Tamale · #6 A Chicken Enchilada & a Tamale.
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: #2 Two Beef or Carnitas Enchiladas · #17 Mini Carne Asada or Carnitas Burrito · #19 Carnitas.
Flautas & taquitos: Filled tortillas rolled tightly and fried until crisp, usually served with some combination of salsa, crema, cheese, lettuce or cabbage. The names flauta, taquito and taco dorado overlap considerably. In some restaurants, flautas are longer; some regions or restaurants distinguish them by tortilla type. Others use the terms almost interchangeably. The menu in front of you gets the final say. On this menu as: #7 Four Taquitos or Flautas · Taquitos & Flautas · Three Taquitos with Everything.
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: #17 Mini Carne Asada or Carnitas Burrito · #24 Carne Asada or Pollo Asado · #27 Two Carne Asada Tacos.
