Dishes to know on this menu

Tostadas: Corn tortillas cooked or fried until crisp and used as a flat base for toppings. Beans, shredded meat, tinga, ceviche, seafood, lettuce, crema, cheese and salsa are all common possibilities. Unlike a folded taco, a tostada stays open-faced. Eat it with your hands and accept the crumbs. On this menu as: Cheese Tostada with Guacamole · Cheese Tostada with Green Chile · Cheese Tostada.
Tortillas: corn vs. flour: Corn tortillas begin with nixtamalized corn masa that is pressed and cooked on a hot surface. They have ancient roots in Mesoamerica and remain fundamental to cooking throughout much of Mexico. Flour tortillas have a long history in northern Mexico, especially Sonora and Chihuahua, and became equally important to border and Mexican-American cuisines. Hecho a mano means "made by hand" and usually indicates tortillas formed or pressed at the restaurant. On this menu as: Casuela & Tortilla · Albondigas & Tortilla · Cocido & Tortilla.
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: Enchilada Style · Enchiladas.
Flautas & taquitos: Filled tortillas rolled tightly and fried until crisp, usually served with some combination of salsa, crema, cheese, lettuce or cabbage. The names flauta, taquito and taco dorado overlap considerably. In some restaurants, flautas are longer; some regions or restaurants distinguish them by tortilla type. Others use the terms almost interchangeably. The menu in front of you gets the final say. On this menu as: Flautas · Flautas (2).
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.
Tamales: Masa wrapped around or alongside a filling, enclosed in a corn husk, banana leaf or other wrapper and steamed. Fillings vary enormously by region and can include pork or chicken in chile sauce, cheese and rajas, beans, vegetables, fruit and sweet preparations. The singular Spanish form is tamal, although "tamale" is common in English. Tamales are sold individually and by the dozen and are particularly prominent during holidays and celebrations. On this menu as: Tamales.
