Dishes to know on this menu

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: Soups & Tamales (汤与手工玉米粽) · Tamal de Verduras.
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 Especial (#15) · Tacos de Chorizo (#6).
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: Alambre de Filete (#12).
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: Rajas (#18).
