Enchiladas Suizas
$15Corn tortillas rolled around shredded chicken, blanketed in green tomatillo and crema, baked under jack until the edges crisp.
A family kitchen on 700 South, cooking the moles, the suizas, the chile verde the same way for thirty years. Come hungry, the plates are generous and the salsas are made each morning.
§ Capítulo II/ABOUT THE CANTINA
Family kitchen, since 1993.
Irmita opened the cantina in 1993 with a clay molcajete, a stove, and the recipes her mother had cooked in Puebla. The room was small and the line out the door was longer. Three decades later, the room is still small. The line is still long.
We cook the moles every morning. Twenty-something ingredients in a long quiet simmer. The suizas get baked to order. The salsas come out of the molcajete the same way they did the first week we opened.
Most of our regulars have been coming for ten or fifteen years. Some came on a date in 1996 and now bring their grandchildren. That is the part of the work nobody puts on a menu.
Salsa from the molcajete, made each morning.
§ Capítulo III/FROM THE TABLE
A handful of photos that come close to the real thing. The real thing is better when the room is full and the salsa is fresh.
