Dishes to know on this menu

Carnitas: Pork slowly cooked until tender, traditionally in its own fat, with some pieces allowed to brown or crisp. Carnitas are strongly associated with Michoacán. Dedicated carnitas shops may offer different cuts and textures rather than simply "pork." Maciza generally refers to leaner meat, cueritos to skin and buche to stomach. Carnitas may also be sold by weight for groups and takeout. On this menu as: Michoacán Carnitas.
Birria: A richly seasoned meat stew associated with Jalisco, traditionally made with goat but now frequently prepared with beef as well. The meat is braised with dried chiles and spices and may be served in a bowl with broth or used as a taco filling. Modern birria tacos are often griddled after the tortillas are dipped in the cooking fat. Add cheese and you'll commonly see the name quesabirria. A cup of consomé for dipping often comes alongside. On this menu as: Birria Tacos.
Sopes: Thick rounds of masa cooked on a griddle, with the edges pinched upward to form a shallow rim. Common toppings include beans, meat, lettuce or cabbage, crema, cheese and salsa. Names and preparations vary regionally, and related dishes may appear as picaditas or under other local names. On this menu as: Sopes.
Enchiladas: Tortillas filled, rolled or folded and served with chile sauce or another sauce. Corn tortillas are traditional, but preparation varies widely by region. Rojas use a red sauce, while verdes use a green sauce. Enmoladas replace the chile sauce with mole, and enfrijoladas use a bean sauce. Enchiladas suizas are typically topped with a creamy green sauce and melted cheese. Tex-Mex enchiladas developed their own traditions, including versions topped with cheese, chile con carne or chile gravy. On this menu as: Enchiladas Verdes.
Pozole: A substantial soup or stew built around hominy: large kernels of nixtamalized corn. Pork and chicken are common. Pozole rojo gets its color and flavor from red chiles, verde from green ingredients that can include tomatillos, green chiles, herbs and seeds, while blanco leaves the broth comparatively plain. It is usually served with a generous collection of garnishes such as shredded cabbage or lettuce, radish, onion, oregano, lime and tostadas. Pozole is strongly associated with celebrations, holidays and weekend meals. On this menu as: Pozole.
