Mexicana Mama
Mexicana Mama Review
This colorful—and very popular—space serves vividly flavored fare. The kitchen is serious enough to create four different salsas daily, including a rotating "special salsa" that incorporates an authentic Mexican chili. Several dishes come with your choice of salsa and filling. The tomato-habanero salsa is simply unforgettable; cream tames the habaneros, but only slightly. Three chili-roasted pork tacos are also filled with piquant Chihuahua cheese and black beans, and served over Mexican rice and avocado cubes. Quesadillas are made with fresh corn tortillas (for a change!), filled with that melted Chihuahua cheese and your choice of chicken, barbacoa beef, chicken mole, or a daily special vegetable filling. For dessert, look no further than the eggy flan in flavors like caramel or cinnamon.
