Dishes to know on this menu

Huevos rancheros & breakfasts: Huevos rancheros generally consist of fried eggs served over lightly fried tortillas with a cooked tomato-and-chile salsa and beans. Huevos divorciados, or "divorced eggs," separate two eggs with different sauces, usually red and green. Huevos a la mexicana combine eggs with tomato, onion and green chile. Machaca con huevo mixes eggs with shredded dried or cooked beef and is particularly associated with northern Mexico. On this menu as: Machaca De Tres Chiles Crisp · Machaca Topopo · Machaca.
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: Dos Enchiladas de Queso · Dos Enchiladas de Carne Molida · Dos Enchiladas de Machaca.
Chorizo: Mexican chorizo is generally a fresh, seasoned sausage rather than the firm cured sausage associated with Spain. Pork is common, along with dried chiles, vinegar and spices. The casing is often removed before cooking so the sausage can crumble into eggs, potatoes, tacos or melted cheese. Longaniza is a related sausage with regional variations of its own, while green chorizo is particularly associated with Toluca and the State of Mexico. On this menu as: Chorizo con Huevo Burro · Teresa's Housemade Chorizo con Huevo · Papas con Chorizo.
Caldos & sopas: Caldo generally refers to a broth-based soup. Common examples include caldo de res with beef and vegetables, caldo de pollo with chicken and caldo de camarón with shrimp. Siete mares, or "seven seas," is a mixed seafood soup associated with coastal cooking. Sopa de tortilla, also called sopa azteca, combines a tomato-and-chile broth with fried tortilla strips and toppings such as avocado, cheese and crema. Sopa de fideo is a simple noodle soup found in homes and restaurants throughout Mexico. On this menu as: Caldo de Queso · Caldo de Camaron · Caldo de Pescado.
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: Pork Carnitas · Carnitas.
Chile relleno: A whole chile stuffed with cheese, meat or another filling. Poblano chiles are common. One familiar preparation coats the stuffed chile in an airy egg batter, fries it and serves it with tomato-based sauce or broth. But relleno simply means "stuffed," and regional preparations vary. Chiles en nogada, a celebrated Puebla dish, are stuffed with picadillo, covered in walnut sauce and garnished with pomegranate and parsley, producing the green, white and red colors of the Mexican flag. On this menu as: Chile Relleno · Chile Relleno Combinacion · Oaxacan Style Chicken Chile Relleno.
