I wish I would have asked what this place was called because I am sure it had a name. Sadly, I never found out the name because there was no street sign - just a street number.
During a 2 week long visit to Mexico, my compadres and I checked out one of the southern boroughs within the Mexican Federal District: Xochimilco. Within minutes upon arrival it started pouring down rain and we had no where to go until we found an opening in a wall that lead us to this restaurant where we had an impromptu four course lunch... for about 7 US legal tenders.
It goes something like this:
Sopa de verduras: a vegetable soup made with all green veg
Because it isn't boring, it's Boing!
Second Course: Rice with something else. We all choose something else.
With Plantains: because my friend's calves kept cramping up.
With Mole: because I love mole!
With Huevo: because my friend Jamie eats egg more than anyone I know
Next course we all got a chicken enchilada with mole. Or mole with a chicken enchilada.
We decided to all get different desserts.
(porous) Flan
Mango ice cream
Neapolitan ice cream
How we somehow found this place...
