I love to cook, but I like my recipes simple and with few ingredients, which is exactly why I love my mom’s Chicken Chimichanga recipe! I only need five ingredients to create a meal that was my favorite as a child and still is today. I also love this recipe because instead of frying the chimichangas, it [...]
What is Cinco de Mayo without salsa? If you’re in need of a good recipe, or just want to try something new, test out this recipe (which I first shared at our 1st anniversary potluck). It’s a super chunky, slightly spicy, avocado-loaded take on classic salsa. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and you’ll have [...]
Head over to Centro Cocina Mexicana tonight any time between 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. and try your luck with their 50/50 Tuesday special. Order any food item off the dinner menu and when it comes time to pay the tab, you’ll be asked to roll a die instead: odds, Centro pays for your meal [...]
One thing I look forward to whenever I make visits back home to Phoenix is the kitchen experiment my parents have undoubtedly concocted. Whether it’s canning fruit or sundried tomatoes, mashing applesauce, or mixing salsa, there’s always something new and delicious in the making. I realized immediately what this year’s holiday creation would be as [...]
A few weeks ago I heard about a deal that I simply could not pass up: right now, Zocalo, one of my favorite local Mexican restaurants, is offering a special they’re calling “2 for $20 Tuesdays.” For just $20, you and a dining companion can enjoy one appetizer, two entrees and a dessert, all off [...]
We heart burritos. There’s never a bad time for a warm tortilla stuffed with steamy deliciousness. Breakfast, lunch or dinner – you can’t go wrong. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited for today’s fundraising event at Chipotle benefiting our friends at the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services. Enjoy a tasty treat at any Sacramento-area [...]
Who doesn’t wish Cinco de Mayo came twice a year? Well, you might have been thinking all along that you were celebrating Mexico’s Independence Day each year on May 5th, but we’re here to clear up the confusion and give you one more reason to celebrate. While Cinco de Mayo is a much smaller holiday [...]
If you ever find yourself in West Sac, Emma’s Taco House is worth the stop. On Sacramento Avenue a few blocks behind the Ikea/Wal-Mart shopping center (Reed Avenue turns into Sacramento Avenue), Emma’s is a hidden treasure of delicious Mexican food in huge portions at great prices. What could be better than that? Before a [...]
The sign outside read El Indio since 1940, but after one taste of the carnitas burrito, I would vote for a name change to El Carnitas Nirvana. This Mexican food hot spot in San Diego had a lunch-time line coming out the door, and after one bite, I knew why. We had seen El Indio [...]
Cross your fingers for sun tomorrow because there’s lots of fun to be had around town for Cinco de Mayo! If you didn’t celebrate early over the weekend (or even if you did!) you won’t want to miss these festivities: After successful block parties for St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s Eve, the streets will [...]
