Mini Tamale Pies

Mexican
May 24, 2020 Found this recipe on Chowhound. I have a ton of masa on hand so wanted to see what I could make with it. This surprisingly took longer than expected to make for just 12…I think because I wasn’t expecting the “dough” portion to be so crumbly and difficult to press into the muffin pan. The […] {More...}

Cancun Juice

Mexican
May 13, 2013 Kimchi: Martini and I got 1 Cubana and 1 Mexicana torta and traded halves so we could each try both of the sandwiches. Mexicana is tried and true for us (love the chorizo in it), but the Cubana was new for us. It has so many things in it, it’s a complete delight! There’s this […] {More...}

Taqueria Tapatia

Mexican
February 18, 2013 Kimchi: Martini and I love finding places that are open late because now and then we end up with late-night cravings or hunger. Honestly, coming here at midnight is a little scary in the parking lot. Park close to the entrance door, lol. The inside is very modest, but we’re not there for the ambiance, […] {More...}

Alertos

Mexican
December 21, 2012 Kimchi: My favorite thing to get at Alertos is the carne asada fries. Martini and I devour this monster pretty easily. Fries that aren’t smothered are still crispy, but the rest will be soggy – as expected. There is a generous dose of sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and onions. Carne asada chunks cover up everything […] {More...}

Rubio’s

Mexican
March 6, 2012 Kimchi: I think one of my favorite tacos would be the Baja Fish Taco. It’s so crispy and good! The lettuce, tartar sauce, squeeze some lemon on, pile on the salsa & onions/cilantro, and I’m good to go! We love coming to Rubio’s on Tuesdays when the tacos are $1.50. The tacos are a good […] {More...}

Taco Mesa

Mexican
February 21, 2012 Kimchi: TACO TUESDAYS ARE AWESOME! We definitely had to take a picture of our food this time because this was the most we’ve ever ordered at a taco joint. Kimchi: I think I like the deep fried chicken taco just because the outside is so crispy and it has yummy feta cheese. Kimchi: Al Pastor […] {More...}

Taco Mesa

Mexican
September 13, 2011 Kimchi: I got the soup because it was discounted on taco Tues, but it wasn’t anything to rave about. The self-serve salsa bar is amazing, though. They have really good pickled vegetables, onions, cilantro, and 4 types of different salsas. Kimchi: Their tacos are truly authentic tasting. Greasy and soft and delicious!   {More...}

Cancun Juice

Mexican
July 1, 2011 Kimchi: Went to an authentic Mexican food joint with two of my friends. At first you would have no idea that this was a really amazing Mexican food place. It’s a rather small restaurant and from the outside nothing screams at you, telling you to come eat. In fact, the name is “Cancun Juice” so […] {More...}
