Dishes to know on this menu

Salsa verde & roja: Salsa verde is a broad category of green salsa, commonly built around tomatillos and green chiles. Salsa roja simply means red salsa and covers countless recipes using tomatoes, dried chiles, fresh chiles or combinations of them. Salsa taquera is the kind of salsa made specifically for tacos and varies from shop to shop. Salsa macha, associated especially with Veracruz, is an oil-based salsa made with dried chiles and often nuts or seeds. Color is not a dependable heat scale. Taste first. On this menu as: Build Your Own — Salsa · Pineapple Salsa · Salsa Verde.
Chiles: poblano, jalapeño, serrano & habanero: Four fresh chiles you'll see repeatedly on Mexican menus. Poblano is a large, dark green chile generally on the mild side. It is commonly roasted for rajas and chiles rellenos. Jalapeño ranges from relatively mild to surprisingly hot. It may be served fresh, pickled or blistered whole as a chile toreado. Serrano is smaller and generally hotter than a jalapeño and is widely used in fresh salsas. Habanero has a fruity aroma and substantially more heat. It is especially associated with Yucatecan cooking. Individual peppers vary, sometimes considerably, so treat any heat ranking as approximate. On this menu as: Jalapeno Lime Shrimp · Caramelized Onions + Poblanos · Mango Habanero.
Guacamole: A preparation built around mashed or crushed avocado. Common restaurant versions add some combination of onion, cilantro, chile, lime and salt. Tomato appears in some versions and inspires surprisingly strong opinions. Guacamole may be chunky or smooth, prepared tableside or made ahead, and recipes vary enormously by region and kitchen. On this menu as: Traditional Guac · Appetizers — Guacamole.
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: Impossible Chorizo · Chorizo.
Nachos: Tortilla chips topped with cheese and usually chiles, with modern versions ranging from a very simple snack to a fully loaded plate covered with beans, meat, crema, guacamole and other toppings. Nachos are generally credited to Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, who created the dish in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, near the Texas border, in the 1940s. The heavily loaded version became a fixture of Tex-Mex and Mexican-American restaurants. On this menu as: Build Your Own Tacos, Bowls & Nachos — Tortillas/Bowls · Nachos.
Dried chiles: ancho, guajillo, árbol & chipotle: Dried chiles provide much of the flavor behind Mexican adobos, moles, marinades and red sauces. Ancho is a dried ripe poblano, usually mild with dark fruit-like flavors. Guajillo is bright, fruity and moderately hot. Pasilla is dark and earthy. Chile de árbol is small, thin and considerably hotter. Chipotle is a smoked and dried ripe jalapeño, commonly sold dried or canned in adobo. Adobo is not one specific sauce. The word is used for seasoned marinades and sauces whose ingredients vary by cuisine and recipe. On this menu as: Chipotle Crema · Chipotle Honey BBQ · Crunchy Chipotle Chicken.
