Tostadas: Corn tortillas cooked or fried until crisp and used as a flat base for toppings. Beans, shredded meat, tinga, ceviche, seafood, lettuce, crema, cheese and salsa are all common possibilities. Unlike a folded taco, a tostada stays open-faced. Eat it with your hands and accept the crumbs. On this menu as: Pozole con 2 Tostadas (Large) · Tostadas · Pastor Tostada.
Burritos: A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling. Northern Mexican burritos are often relatively slender and focused on one or two fillings such as beans, machaca or a guisado. In the United States, the form developed in several directions. San Francisco's Mission burrito is large and typically includes rice, beans and numerous fillings. San Diego's California burrito famously adds french fries. A wet burrito is covered in sauce and eaten with a knife and fork. On this menu as: Burritos · Carne Asada Burrito · Suadero Burrito.
Carne asada: Grilled beef, chopped or sliced for tacos, burritos and plates. Skirt, flank and other relatively thin cuts are common, with seasoning ranging from little more than salt to marinades containing citrus, garlic or other ingredients. Carne asada is particularly associated with northern Mexico and is also the name for the social tradition of gathering around a grill for a carne asada cookout. On this menu as: Ensalada de Carne Asada · Salmon Asado · Filete Asado.
Cabeza, tripa, buche & suadero: Several of the less familiar fillings you may see at a taquería. Cabeza refers to meat from the beef head; cachete, or cheek, may be identified separately. Tripa is intestine, commonly cooked until tender and then griddled or fried, sometimes quite crisp. Buche is pork stomach and is frequently prepared alongside carnitas. Suadero is a tender beef cut particularly associated with Mexico City tacos, where it is slowly cooked and finished on the griddle. The exact cuts and preparations vary considerably from one taquería to another. On this menu as: Buche Taco · Suadero Taco · Cabeza Taco.
Chorizo: Mexican chorizo is generally a fresh, seasoned sausage rather than the firm cured sausage associated with Spain. Pork is common, along with dried chiles, vinegar and spices. The casing is often removed before cooking so the sausage can crumble into eggs, potatoes, tacos or melted cheese. Longaniza is a related sausage with regional variations of its own, while green chorizo is particularly associated with Toluca and the State of Mexico. On this menu as: Chorizo Alambre · Nachos con Chorizo · Chorizo con Queso.
Fajitas: Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese. On this menu as: Alambres · Al Pastor Alambre · Bistec Alambre.
