Mexican food

[naturalkon]

So I'm from the southeast and this summer I worked in Albuquerque for about a month. While I was there I noticed the Mexican food was so much better than the stuff I come across around here. I just can't find a place that has enchilada sauce anywhere close to what I had over there. It was like a spicy red sauce. The sauce out this way is just so plain. Anyone know what the put in it to make it taste so good. I know there are some guys from the southwest on here. I have been craving it like crazy.

Southeast asia? Look up the brand if you can. Some chain restaurants sell their sauces separately too.

Real enchilada sauce is a dried Chile sauce. Not that watery ass tomato concoction you usually see. Sounds like that's what you're craving.

Authentic Dried Chile-Pepito Enchilada Sauce Recipe

That one looks like a good approximation. The ancho Chile is the base for all of them.

God I love mexican food.

Me too man. I have been craving it since I left New Mexico. On the down side, nothing in my neck of the woods tastes good anymore. Every time I go to a restaurant I'm dissapointed.

fuck a restaurant that usually is texmex shit especially in the South...
I usually find good food in the small ethnic stores, most have a hot counter in the back where they are making burritos/tacos. Also when you get around the agricultural areas there is a lot of migrant labor and they bring all their good eats with them . Some of the best tamales I've ever had were off the back of a tractor flatbed, they come wrapped in the corn husk, .25 a pc

Rarely can I find tongue, beef cheek, goat burritos, birria, on any sit down restaurant menu, that's the good shit

don't knock it till you try it...
they braise and slow cook that beef cheek until it just melts when you take a bite, goat is damn good too it holds a ton of flavor and gets so tender it just falls off the bone.

Funny thing. I was living in Virginia and there was this chain of mexican restraunts. All white people in the front, all mexicans in the back. Decent food. Not good. Not bad.

But after they got off all the mexicans would skip eating there (where food was free) and go to this hole in the wall to eat.

That place had the greasiest, fattiest mexican food youve ever seen. The best by far Ive ever had.

Moral: When you want good mexican, follow the mexicans!

Good lengua is a hard thing to come by. Possibly my favorite cut of beef.

Tripas? Man that shit is good when cooked right. Crispy as Hell and melt in your mouth at the same time. Who would have thought a small intestine would be that freaking tasty.

If it's edible, there's a Mexican who knows how to make it delicious. They even make tripe taste good. Don't think any other culture can claim that, lol.

This use to be my favorite spot in Denver. It's owned by a New Mexican family, and they make everything in house including roasting all there chiles.
I prefer New Mexican over regular Mexican and it tends to be more spicy also.

I am sure some of you big eaters could handle there 7lb burrito challenge.

Lol, I forgot about Jack n grills. We went there a couple of times at the Westminster one. Think they closed it before we left.

You ever try taco star out in commerce city? Little shithole fast food place revamped into a Mexican joint. They even had a drive thru. But it was bomb. Real deal, authentic greasy taco stand shit. No tex involved mex. And filthy cheap.

Good Mexican was harder to come by in Denver than you would think it should be, with the population. Most places just popped cans of green Chile and called it a day. Hacienda Colorado was good, for fru fru white boy stuff. But very few good authentic places.

I actually never ate at taco star but I have heard of it. I actually work in commerce city. Well one of my jobs.
That's where our grow op is located and we have a bomb ass greasy taco cart about 2 minutes from work. I think it's called tacos al vapor.
Place is always packed.

Most people outside of Colorado and New Mexico don't know what real red and green chile is.

Haha, nice. You guys doing mmj, or getting on the rec sales? Spent a few years under the lights in Denver myself. Miss those pretty girls.

Real green Chile is fucking phenomenal. No go on the canned corn starch and chicken bouillon shit though.

I remember al vapor, I think. By a blue pawn shop? Could definitely be wrong, never ate there. Remember the name though.

 

[Morefyah]

We're doing both mmj and rec.
We also have a greenhouse out in Brighton that we use exclusively for extracts and edibles.
We also just got a sponsor for the 2016 cannibus cup, so things are good right not. My boss is looking into opening a HUGE green house in southern Colorado down near Pueblo.

That's cool. Sounds like it's legitimizing a lot more now. Glad to hear about it taking off so well.
