"This from a man (child) who has eaten Mexican food in six Mexican States, spent decades convinced that good Mexican food in the USA was only obtainable in states that shared a border with Mexico, and was married to a Mexican woman for 10 years.
When I speak of Mexican food I know the real deal when I eat it."
PLATO MONTANERO - carne asada (grilled steak), arroz (Mexican rice — notice no bogus Americanized yellow coloring), chicharron frito (fried pork rind — real Mexican style made with a chunk of the adjoining meat), platoons fritos (fried plantain — this is the sweet one, more commonly known around here by its PR and Dominican name — maduros).
