Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I was in the mood for Mexican, and with the passing of the monsoon I decided to go to the place in walking distance. It's a big open room with seven TVs showing soccer games and loud Latin music. It was empty at 1:30, no problem with service. The chips were fresh, warm, and crisp but lacked texture. The salsa was thin, with a few chunks of onion, just a hint of cilantro and no heat at all. I picked the three taco lunch special with beef for $6.99. The plate contained rice, with a few veggies in it, lettuce and tomato chunks with no dressing, refried beans so thoroughly pureed that they made a better dip than side, very bland, and three crisp tacos. The shells were of the same yellow corn masa as the chips, and the filling was chunks of braised beef and potatoes, like an unseasoned pot roast. My guess is that I would have done much better with Salvadoran dishes, and the Mexican options were there just because they were expected. Nevertheless, based on what I had, I've gotta go with Meh.

Had the quesadilla which was good, not outstanding. The chips and salsa were very good though. There were only two other people when I went so service was not an issue. My waitress was very attentive. The place needs a serious facelift. It seems quite old and comes off as dirty, which didn't make me feel very good about eating there. The old, plastic tablecloths are torn and were sticky with years of use. Even just getting rid of those would make a huge difference.

We are living in a hotel and eating out and trying to stay cool. This is close and we wanted dinner without driving much. While we were the only shall we say outsiders in the restaurant, they had LOTS of wait staff and while english is clearly their second language they endeavored to make our meal memorable and it WAS. We each tried something different and each dish was flavorful, hot and the presentation was excellent. There are a BUNCH of TVs and a large projection screen so I imagine it is a great place to go watch a contentious soccer game. They have a full bar with what looks like a decent selection and clearly a large local fan base. While we didn't necessarily fit in, they didn't make us feel like we didn't at ALL. We'll be back!

We needed a place to eat that was near our hotel and El Amate filled the bill. The food was tasty, the service good , if a little strange for a couple in their 70s. I refer to the bustiers and short shorts on the female wait staff. But they were all good natured and we enjoyed our meal. There was soccer being played on may very large screens around the room which made for a very nosy room. No matter, we didn't have to go far.

I find El Amate to have very good pupusas and the curtido is good as well. Another thing is they have lorocos (pupusas with an edible flower that basically appears as little green specs in the cheese), and I don't find that most places have lorocos, generally just the cheese pupusas and revueltas. As for the other dishes, they don't stand out so much so go for the pupusas!

Once again this is a cookie cutter type El Salvadorian style restaurant. That doesn't mean that the food isn't good. Because it is. I like the crab and shrimp enchaladas. One thing I notice about these restaurants is that they always have beautiful waitresses in short skirts and push up bras. They will dance with you too. Good enchalads, papusas and eye candy. 3 stars in my book.
