The Tacos are very small, soft, just made by hand, corn tortilias, were: Cochinita Pibil (juicy, slow cooked...Mayan style achiote spiced pulled pork) Mmmm...Shrimp Mojo (my fav) and Chorizo con Avocado. Then they had me sample a few things that they were preparing (the Chef perks) one was oven roasted tomato's..really garlicky and well seasoned..similar to what we make at my Cafe but better.

Then I sampled Chiles en Nogada...Lord have mercy..a Poblano chile stuffed with chicken, pecans, fruit, onions...baked and covered in an almond sauce with pomagranite seeds garnish. Stunning.

We also discussed Mole Verde something that I was not aware of and have never had. Can not wait to try it.

They are always working up a new spin on a classic.

How are you all doing?

I am now officially craving those chiles en nogada! I will take two of those right now, please.
