There are many things I love. Like the morning breeze that brushes my skin and makes my hair fly. I love sitting under a tree and reading on a chilly autumn morning. The warm feeling I get when my family is all gathered and having a great time at dinner. However, when it comes to food I absolutely love Enchiladas Suizas. This dish is very addicting because of the creamy sauce and the savory chicken that mixed together is like fireworks bursting with flavor. Another reason is because this dish…

it has a deeper meaning. My favorite quote in this particular story is," '...forgiveness is a decision, not an emotion. '" (Quiñones p.87) I have always viewed forgiveness as a simple, "I 'm sorry", but after reading this story, I have undertaken a new meaning of forgiveness.

It takes a true hero to forgive someone that has done something so despicable. This…

I would put Mexican restaurants in their own food group. I eat, pray, and live for Mexican food. It is to the point that my friends and family do not even need to ask me where I want to go for dinner; they know I will be okay with any Mexican restaurant.

became a Friday night ritual and how the culinary tourism promotes Mexican food. The origin of the taco dates back to the 19th century and the Silver mines. Many people believed that the Spanish word taco could be associated to the silver mines. Miners would call it an explosive wrapped in paper “Tacos”. The miners would blast rock using the explosive they called a taco. This is when the taco was born. When the unemployed miners came to New Mexico they brought the snack food called taco de…

Upon entering the restaurant it has the feel of traditional Mexico which includes, brick lined walls with traditional Mexican artwork and color schemes.
