I'm eating a late
breakfast today. A trip down Canal to El Pato (Calzada de la Estacion 175) and
I am in my own little version of food heaven.
Hopefully third time's
a charm (see previous posts) because their food is as good as many of the
better restaurants in town. It's also as good as my mother's pot roast and I've
actually never said that before.
Mixiotes is a
specialty dish from Hidalgo where owner Jose Luis hails from. The little bundle
of lamb that is cooked in broth and spices has such a rich taste that even I
wouldn’t try to duplicate it…that is until I get a few episodes of cooking in
an underground pit under my belt which, like I said before, will not be any
time soon.
Jose Luis also never
buys a lamb that is over 6 months old so the food is consistently rich and
sweet.
The last time I was
there, I did not however find it too rich to have a second helping.
That will be the case
again today. I know that already.
Buen Apetito!
