Let me say it up-front. I don't cook. The best I manage is what I call
"applying heat" to prepared food, either in a microwave or in the oven. But I love good Mexican food. I love reading about how it is prepared, the ingredients, and the culture surrounding it. Fortunately I have relatives who know how it should be prepared and are willing to take mercy on me once in a while and invite me for dinner. And once in a while I stumble upon a place that serves the real thing. A few weeks ago I was taking my mother to visit her sister in Van Nuys, CA. We were blocks from her sister's home when my mother insisted we eat before we arrive there. I assured her that her sister would feed her lunch, but my mother would not arrive there hungry. I noticed a Mexican place in a tiny strip mall at the intersection where I was turning left. Why not give it a try. What a great decision! This place seated around 30 people, no-one there spoke a word of English, they didn't even have menus in English! Needless to say the food was wonderful. I've had fresh tortillas before but what we were served were from another planet! Delicious. I lurk here and never post, simply enjoying what is posted here, both the detailed recipes and the cultural comments that accompany or are in addition to those posts. Thank you all.
