Lunch at La Ciudadela

I mentioned in my post yesterday about our new dishes, that we had gone to our favorite mercado, La Ciudadela. While we waited for them to wrap, and box, all of the dishes, Ivan, Enrique, and I, went to one of the little restaurants in the market for lunch, and coffee. I had Tacos Dorados, and a Café Americano. Here is what it looked like.

Tacos dorados con pollo

These are three corn tortillas, stuffed with cooked chicken and onions, deep fried, and topped with shredded lettuce, Queso Cotija, and a thin tomato slice. These are frequently called flautas at the Mexican restaurants up North, or tacitos, but here they are called Tacos Dorados, or fried tacos.

This is what it looked like about twenty minutes later. I actually burned the roof of my mouth a bit because they were fresh out of the fryer when she brought them to me, and I could not wait for them to cool down. Well, after the first two bites I slowed down enough to let them start to cool off. But I threatened to lick the plate when I was done. Luckily the young lady came and took my plate away before I could disgrace myself.

We all finished our coffees, walked around the market for another 20 minutes, or so, then we were on our way. We dropped off the dishes at the apartment then came home. I got organizing all of our accumulated paperwork, and typed a couple of posts. Job well done.
