Mole-covered entrée plated with rice and vegetables at Meso Maya

Caldos & sopas: Caldo generally refers to a broth-based soup. Common examples include caldo de res with beef and vegetables, caldo de pollo with chicken and caldo de camarón with shrimp. Siete mares, or "seven seas," is a mixed seafood soup associated with coastal cooking. Sopa de tortilla, also called sopa azteca, combines a tomato-and-chile broth with fried tortilla strips and toppings such as avocado, cheese and crema. Sopa de fideo is a simple noodle soup found in homes and restaurants throughout Mexico. On this menu as: Sopas · Sopa De Lima.
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: Queso Poblano · Poblano · Serrano.
Tamales: Masa wrapped around or alongside a filling, enclosed in a corn husk, banana leaf or other wrapper and steamed. Fillings vary enormously by region and can include pork or chicken in chile sauce, cheese and rajas, beans, vegetables, fruit and sweet preparations. The singular Spanish form is tamal, although "tamale" is common in English. Tamales are sold individually and by the dozen and are particularly prominent during holidays and celebrations. On this menu as: Tamales De Pollo · Sweet Corn Tamal.
Enchiladas: Tortillas filled, rolled or folded and served with chile sauce or another sauce. Corn tortillas are traditional, but preparation varies widely by region. Rojas use a red sauce, while verdes use a green sauce. Enmoladas replace the chile sauce with mole, and enfrijoladas use a bean sauce. Enchiladas suizas are typically topped with a creamy green sauce and melted cheese. Tex-Mex enchiladas developed their own traditions, including versions topped with cheese, chile con carne or chile gravy. On this menu as: Enchiladas.
Pozole: A substantial soup or stew built around hominy: large kernels of nixtamalized corn. Pork and chicken are common. Pozole rojo gets its color and flavor from red chiles, verde from green ingredients that can include tomatillos, green chiles, herbs and seeds, while blanco leaves the broth comparatively plain. It is usually served with a generous collection of garnishes such as shredded cabbage or lettuce, radish, onion, oregano, lime and tostadas. Pozole is strongly associated with celebrations, holidays and weekend meals. On this menu as: Pozole Verde · Pozole Rojo.
Ceviche & aguachile: Ceviche combines seafood with citrus juice and ingredients such as onion, chile, cilantro and tomato. Recipes vary throughout Mexico's coastal regions. The acid changes the texture and appearance of raw seafood, but it does not make raw seafood microbiologically equivalent to cooking it with heat. Aguachile, particularly associated with Sinaloa, is commonly made from raw shrimp dressed shortly before serving with lime, fresh chiles, cucumber and red onion. It can be seriously hot. Cóctel de camarón is a shrimp cocktail commonly served in a tomato-based sauce, while campechana usually combines several kinds of seafood. On this menu as: Ceviche · Ensalada De Ceviche.
