Fajitas!  Four combinations are available.  Tender pieces of steak sauteed in their own fajita sauce.  Served in a hot skillet with beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tortillas.  Best fajitas this side of the Mississippi.

Camarones Veracruz.  Jumbo shrimp sauteed in a Mediterranean-Mexican sauce, tomatoes, onions, garlic, green olives, capers and herbs.  Served with tortillas, which we used as scoops. Homemade pinto beans, too.

Camarones Enchipotlados: large shrimp sauteed with mushrooms and pineapple bits.  The savory chipotle (smoked dried jalapeno) sauce is spicy, but so good!  Served with rice and beans.  Order a Corona, a perfect balance to the jalapenos.

Puerco en Salsa Verde.  These lean and tender chunks of pork are simmered in a sauce of tomatillo, peppers, and herbs.  I love the black beans!

Carne Asada.  Grilled sirloin with slightly charred edges, my favorite part. Grilled vegetables, too, and homemade guacamole.
