The other night the husband and I went to a new restaurant in town. It is a Taqueria and it was FAB U LOUS. When we walked in the restaurant there were no other non-spanish speaking people there. If an ethnic restaurant is filled with people of that ethnicity, chances are it's pretty darn good. How authentic would a Chinese restaurant be if it was filled with Caucasian people? Chinese people want real Chinese food, not an Americanized replacement. Okay, aaaannd rant done.
Anyway, the Taqueria boasts about real authentic Mexican food and that's exactly what we got. They had six main dish offerings with your choice of meat, half of the meats we didn't recognize because they were in spanish. I got two chicken tacos and the husband got a gordita. The tacos were wonderful and filled with spicy white meat chicken, onions, cilantro, fresh lime juice on white corn tortillas. The gordita had barbacoa stuffed in between two round fried yellow corn cakes, cheese, and onions with lettuce, avacado and tomato on the side. The salsa was wonderful, I could have lined my purse and taken some home with me.
Since then we have been two more times, we can't help ourselves. But each visit was subsequently less fulfilling. I think it's because we had so much the first time because our waitress spoke very little english and got to try out our spanish without feeling stupid.
