A Festival of Enchiladas

After the walking tour that we took, since we were already in the Roma neighborhood, we decided to go to our favorite restaurant, Angelopolitano.


I started with fideos (noodles) in a broth of beans and chipotle, garnished with cream, cotija cheese and avocado,



Alejandro had roasted tomato soup garnished with a garlic bread crouton and goat cheese.



In addition to their usual dishes from the cuisine of Puebla, the menu is currently featuring an "Enchilada Fest".  There are a variety of different dishes that include "enchiladas" (which have a sauce made from chile peppers) and their culinary cousins, "enfrijoladas" (with a bean sauce), "enmoladas" (covered with "mole") and "enjitomatadas" (with tomato sauce).

I selected the enchiladas filled with "cochinita" (the traditional roast pork from Yucatán) with a sauce of "chile xcatic".  "Xcatic" is a pepper native to the Yucatán which is not as incendiary as the more famous pepper from Yucatán, the "habanero".  The enchiladas were delicious!



Alejandro ordered chicken enchiladas with a sauce made from chipotle peppers and "piloncillo".  ("Piloncillo" is a type of Mexican brown sugar.)  I had a taste of his sauce and it was very different but very delicious.



"Angelopolitano" never fails.  We had yet another wonderful meal!
