Dishes to know on this menu

Quesadillas: A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas. On this menu as: Quesadillas · Quesadilla de Maiz · Quesadilla de Harina.
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 · Regular Burrito · Super Burrito.
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: Tostadas · Regular Tostada · Tostada de Ceviche.
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: Nachos · Regular Nachos · Super Nachos.
Flautas & taquitos: Filled tortillas rolled tightly and fried until crisp, usually served with some combination of salsa, crema, cheese, lettuce or cabbage. The names flauta, taquito and taco dorado overlap considerably. In some restaurants, flautas are longer; some regions or restaurants distinguish them by tortilla type. Others use the terms almost interchangeably. The menu in front of you gets the final say. On this menu as: Taquitos · Flautas.
A la diabla, al mojo de ajo & other seafood styles: Several phrases recur throughout the seafood section of Mexican menus. A la diabla means "devil-style" and usually signals a spicy red chile sauce. Al mojo de ajo emphasizes garlic, commonly cooked with butter or oil. Al ajillo also centers on garlic, often paired with dried chile. A la veracruzana refers to the Veracruz style of preparing fish in a tomato-based sauce influenced by Spanish Mediterranean cooking, commonly including olives and capers. Exact recipes and heat levels vary by restaurant. On this menu as: Camarones a la Diabla · Camarones al Mojo de Ajo.
