Authentic Entrees From Guanajuato Mexico
This visit was my first time eating here. After looking at the menu I saw many items that are either hard to find, or that I had never seen before.
We were seated promptly, drinks were brought along with a small bowl of hot nacho cheese, a bowl of salsa and a basket of chips. My friend ordered the cafe de olla, which this place is known for. Cafe de olla is a spiced sweet Mexican coffee. I tried a little, and if you like sweet coffees you will probably like it.
After looking at the options on the menu I decided to try the Enchiladas Mineras, which was described as "Red sauce (chile guajillo special recipe) queso fresco, onion, sour cream, potatoes and carrots." With asada or grilled breast for an additional $4.
Id never had enchiladas made with queso fresco, and after googling the dish saw that some places broil theirs instead of bake, so I figured this would be something new to try.
My plate came out ,with decent sized portions of everything. The enchiladas were both topped and filled with crumbled queso fresco. The guajillo sauce on the enchiladas gave them a different flavor, as did the cheese, but it was mainly the texture and consistency of the enchilada that set these apart from your average enchilada. These were not chewy or liquidy cheese wise, but dense and soft. The corn tortillas served with the meal were made fresh, thick and darker than your average ones. I recently went out looking for corn tortillas like they serve in Mexico, and these are that type.
The rice was good, cooked to a consistency between a fluffy drier rice and a moist steamy rice.. the beans had decent flavor, both prepared well, and neither bland or unique, just done right..
My friend ordered the Mole de Olla, which was a large bowl that appeared to be caldo, but was made using large pork ribs and guajillo pepper sauce. The soup was filled with large chunks of pork, green beans, and corn on the cob. I tried a spoon full of broth and a small chunk of rib meat, and it was very good. Definitely an item that would be amazing during the winter months.
Service was good, portions were large, & prices were good to average on most of the items. The menu options were amazing, and really the thing that sets this restaurant apart. So many items I want to try. I'll definitely be returning.
