mexican food is great! tomatos, chilli, lime etc. all my fave stuff...

made guacamole once with pretty respectable results. and refried beans with less success...

I'd love to make my own tortilla chips sometime. I was in a bar type establishment in juarez (over the border from el paso) for a few hours, and the woman behind the counter was making fresh ones and throwing out a basket to us every couple of minutes. really really really really nice. anyone ever try to make them?

Muffint Hint: when I wish I could make crap like some company does, I look at the ingredients on the packet and give it a shot myself at home. The first ingredient is the biggest and the last the smallest. That's how I've learned to cook loads of shit. Means you can leave out all the nasty chemicals seeing as you won't be wanting to preserve it til the next century!

ok. black beans, make sure they are not the chinese ones, totally different to mexican black beans, get these in Down to earth, you need tosoak them over night, maybe you can buy cans of them in Ireland now, dont know, try epicurean food hall, the cans are handier.
Enchilaadas

Ok , get ur beans cooked off, mix with onion, cumin, cilantro, chilli flakes, whatever else like salt if ya want, mix in chopped tomato, put in tomato puree with loads more cumin and chili,small bit of beer, good strond tastin beer, mix with creme fraiche (or sour cream if you prefer a real lardarse) mix with mexican cheese and monterey jack, put mix in large tortillas, make into burrito shapes, envelopes, then put in pyrex dish, cover with more cheese and more creme fraiche, cook for 30-40 at 180c.

serve with homemade guacamole. right on dude!

Is Poco Loco on Parliament St still going?

I remember bringing a lady there on a first date in 1995.
My credit card was rejected.

Poco Loco is bad mexican food

 

[hugh]

Every Mexican restaurant in Dublin is bad Mexican food.

I'd love to be corrected on this ...

Nah - you're right.
Acapulco was alright for a few months when it first opened but went down the tubes soon after - still not proper Mexican though.
Poco Loco has always been terrible
