Rudford's
There's a guy in the kitchen at Rudford's who makes the best table salsa in San Diego. Don't bother asking for the recipe though--they just flat don't give it out. If your waitress doesn't automatically bring the salsa to your table, ask for it. Your food will pop, all right. Cristina http://www.mexicocooks.typepad.com— February 7, 2012 11:49 a.m.
Puesto to Bring the Street to Wall Street
In your list of proteins, you mention 'al pastor'. It's worth mentioning that 'al pastor' is not a kind of protein, it's a style of cooking pork. It translates--not literally, but by usage--to 'shepherd style', which means marinated in adobo, stacked on a vertical trompo (spit) in an inverted kind of triangle that weighs up to 40 kilos, and cooked to order by revolving the trompo in front of (in the case of Mexican street food) a gas grate. I believe that this way of cooking cerdo al pastor is not legal in the USA. How will Puesto be preparing this iconic street food of Mexico?

Vegetarian Chupacabra Burrito
Cal-Mex better than the food in Mexico? Hmmm...they are so different that it's impossible to compare! There is no burrito in my part of Mexico like the big-as-your-forearm burrito at Chupa Cabras, though. Cal-Mex is definitely a thing apart, and definitely wonderful. But read more about the real deal in Mexico here: http://www.mexicocooks.typepad.com. You might have to come on down and get some. Cristina Mexico Cooks!— January 12, 2012 4:13 p.m.
Mexican Artisans and the Day of the Dead, Pátzcuaro, Mexico
Bonnie, an 'oferta' is something that's offered for a bargain price. What you created for the Day of the Dead is an 'ofrenda'. That means an offering, or less literally, an altar.— November 3, 2009 8:15 p.m.
