This thread is making me hungry for something good, but all I have laying around to eat here is tuna fish and corn flakes

my fav taco's are---cochinita pebil..tacos de lengua..pollo molle verde...suadero....etc etc...Taco Bell for me...NADA...not even close to the real thing...also the cheese most places use..blah..try a Taco or Quesadiila with real Oaxaca cheese..oh my....
Hard to find a good Taco franchise lately...Taco trucks are the closet thing to the real thing..

[Hector]

Oaxaca cheese quesadillas... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^



I prefer mole poblano over the verde though...just a natural preference.

Oh...and I've made cochinita pibil...delicious...but I have to take it easy on the habaneros...

Man...the only other state in the USA that can match California in Mex food is indeed Texas...

[TEXASFETT]

oye te pasaste Don Hector con las fotitos...Me ase aqua la boca..yuuuuumy....Wow, Sopaipillas...are they Mexican? I'm from Chile, and i thought they were native to us. I never knew other countries even knew what they were...The difference i think is in the dough, we add some mashed squash as well..And then once we fry them, we leave them soaking in warm molasses....Ohhhhh heavenly i tell you...

Sopaipillas are made throughout Latin America...but obviously different variations (your Chilean one sounds delicious).

The Mexican one is very simple...just cut flour tortillas into triangles...deep fry...let them rest over a paper towel...then sprinkle sugar (white or brown) and cinnamon powder over them...

...they are served and eaten crispy...

[SeattleEd]

Interesting.
They look more like Buñuelos since it's made with a flour dough based tortilla. That's how most places I've seen in Mexico and American make it. My grandmother made them that way back in San Luis Potosi.
Sopaipillas to me are fried pastry breads filled or layered with meat or sweet. Can be a appetizer, entree or desert.
Like you said, Hec. It's all regional and different in parts of Latin America, and Spain.

But, hombre, parece que tu prepares comida my rica, mano.

After seeing those tacos, we plan on hitting a taco truck before we go see Machete and grub while watching the movie. Mexican style!

[Hector]

Yes...they are called buñuelos in most of Mexico...but in Chihuahua (where my mom is from)...they call them sopaipillas...
