Of course they start you off with homemade tortilla chips and two types of salsa, a classic rojo and a more spicy salsa verde. Both however are jam packed with flavor. I couldn't be in second class Mexico without having a pina colada - so I did. It rocked!
I ordered these jumbo shrimp that were stuffed with poblanos and cheese then wrapped in bacon, breaded and fried. Um, hello! Anything with bacon, cheese, and shrimp gets my vote. A friend that went with me had the whole fried catfish. It was topped with this butter garlic sauce. We got rice and beans to complete the meal.
Funny thing though - our plates came garnished with lemon and orange slices. Because I believe in making a happy face plate - I ate my orange. It was the BEST ORANGE EVER.

Hey! Its good to see you have an exclusive food blog. It looks great. I have passed this pink restaurant. Now your tempting me to go in and check it out.
I haven't read your post yet; I went straight to the comments to say: CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so excited for your blog. Man oh Man!
What are the prices like at this place? The first time I was in Chicago, I was 15 years old. My plane from Lansing, MI was delayed for like...2 days lol and I was an "unaccompanied minor" but I broke away from my "captors" and explored around O'Hare and somehow found myself in some little suburb. How I wish to go back and experience the food. I feel like I'm missing out.
Darius T~ but what about the margaritas? This is our measuring stick when it comes to Mexican.
That is SOME fried catfish. I don't know that you would find that in Alabama... ok maybe.
I could get comfortable here with your everyday cooking!
Thanks for stopping by. good meeting you. I love Mexican food! I'll bet there in a few weeks and can't wait to hit up some really good spots in a new city...

where is the pic of you and the orange smile? I like the blog! I wonder what inspired this! :-)
On my next trip I will be there with a margarita and some of those shrimp, wrapped in bacon. You know I LOVE to eat and Chicago is one of my favorite places for food. I still crave Kenny's in Hyde Park.
I will be back often to check on what you're eating. It's funny. My collection of short stories will have recipes accompanying each entry. Food really does connect us as a culture.
There is a Mi Tierra in San Antonio and it is my favorite Mexican Restaurant in all of Texas.
Hey Darius - Nice to meet you. I see your food blog is new, good luck. I'm from Chicago, living in LA, and go back often. I like Uncle Julio's Hacienda. Have you been?
Hey Lori! Of course I go to Uncle Julio's Hacienda - over on Clybourn & North Ave! I love that joint!!!
for the love! i'm OBSESSED with mexican food!! yummmmmmmmy!!!
Hmm, I'll try it once, but I think I'll stick with Pepe's lol. That's a lil too authentic to me.
Those dishes look/sound tasty! I love that kind of food!
Cheers,
Rosa
Yum, that looks outrageously good! Is it in Pilsen? Must hit that place up next time I'm in Chi-town, especially as I'm getting on a Mexican food kick!
Damn that fish looks intimidating. Not sure if I would be daring enough to try it.
