I want to find out what favorite Mexican/Tex-Mex food or recipe...im planning to compile a list so that I can incorporate it in my aunt's menu in her restobar....any suggestions will do
as an aside, what the heck is a "restobar"? Sounds like the opposite of an energy bar to me, LOLOL
UPdate to add a definition found on the web:
It is a meaningless term, like "appie" for appetizer, coined to attempt to make a restaurant with a bar sound like something new and cutting edge.
Fear any restobar, because if they need a new word, their food is probably third rate.
Okayyyyy then.
It is hard to choose, and yes, there are even more differentiations in Mexican (it's a pretty large country with regional styles of cooking) and US-Mex food (not just Tex-Mex, New Mexico and other states with that ethnic background have their own versions). That said, my favorites are chile relleno and my cousin's New Mexico Green Chili Stew (which I'm about to make since my husband roasted a large batch of poblanos this fall). My least favorite is a burrito that has rice in it. Too much starch (I believe it was a place near the border in Texas and if I remember right, they called it Jalisco style, but it's been a number of years, so I wouldn't swear to it). Just too much starch.
Fajitas Mexicanas, quesadillas and chimichangas (sp?) The restaurant that we go to has this great goat cheese that is thinner than a typical nacho cheese but tastes AMAZING!!!
Good luck with your restaturant!
craving for some flautas myself...Great topic, MM! My fave is Flautas! Chicken ones, to be exact. Mmmmm youve given me a great idea of what to make this weekend! Haven't had them in a long time.
