Hadn't thought of that. :)

Los Hermanos in Lindon has better mexican food. But since I am smelling the aromas right now ( I just roasted the poblanos, tomatillos and jalapenos and am waiting for them to cool so I can peel the skins) I should mention that for the best authentic mexican food in Utah you must go to la cocina trinity. This very evening I am serving up chile verde in molcajete bowls and homemade flour tortillas for my family. With strawberry daiquiris of course.

Lol. I just told Runtu in a PM that next time we need to go to Los Hermano's. Indeed the best Mexican. 2nd is Mi Ranchito.

Anybody like food other than Mexican? What's up with refried beans anyway?

I had lunch at this dump of a Chinese restaurant on south State st. in Provo last week. It was surprisingly good.

I don't know. I always get black beans.

There is a dumpy chinese place in Indianapolis where you can get all you can eat for $3.95.

I think you can all imagine what a $3.95 all you can eat would be composed of. I think it consists mostly of aborted fetuses and rat organs.

Refried beans, when properly made (i.e., with lard), are absolutely delicious: creamy, not heavy, and tinged with a slightly bacony, porky flavor. All too often, the brown sludge plopped onto plates at Americanized Mexican restaurants is overly starchy junk, which probably explains why these restauranteurs feel the need to cover the beans with boatloads of sour cream and cheese. Real refried beans need no adornments whatsoever, save perhaps a squeeze of lime juice.
