I've never understood the love for Chipotle.

Overpriced mediocre food with limited menu options.

Freebirds is a slightly better, imo

No place is ever going to compete with what you find in South, East and Downtown LA as far as price and quality of the food. What does suck is never having cash and having to deal with a charge for that, or the place just being straight cash only(or ebt, lol).

Even the best burgers in LA(for price) are located in Watts.

I rarely eat at Mexican restaurants since I still have my mom's cooking whenever I visit, but I'd say my two favorites in the NW side are probably Jalisco Grill on DeZavala and La Fogata on Vance Jackson. Mamacita's is ok, Chuy's sucks.

La Fogata's salsa is fucking great, but they seem more Tex-Mex. They do have better mole than Cascabel though. I haven't tried Jalisco when I read they don't use mulatos in their mole (probably because they're so fucking expensive relative to the other chiles used in it). But Cascabel has awesome tortas, pozole, cochinita pibil, and lots of other great shit on their menu. They close at like 3PM though.

Iron Mexican is correct, though, you don't have to go to the barrios of Evergreen or Big Bad Hazard to get great authentic Mexican food anymore--they're great spots all over SoCal that you don't have to waste time with Chipotle or the even worse Cafe Rio.

Everyone else loves it but I've never liked mole, even my mom's. It's a pretty simple meal but Jalisco Grill's breaded steak is what keeps me going back. Their orchata water and gorditas are pretty good too. I'll have to check out Cascabel, I haven't had some good pozole in a while tbh.

You ever make the tamarindo water yourself? It looks like fucking floaties in the pot when you're cooking the fruit to get the flavor out and into the water.

I have not made it myself. I, though, have seen it being made because I grew up with a bunch of Mexican friends and their abuelas would make it and they'd always hook our family up with it. I would imagine it to be not aesthetically pleasing since the tamarind fruit isn't all that great looking to begin with.

I have always felt mole is incredible when it's good but that most places don't do it very well. I never get it at restaurants though, just make it at home using Rick Bayless' recipe. It's great in Mexico but I haven't found a place in the US that does it really well, and have never been to Chicago so never tried it at one of Bayless' restaurants.

Went there today. Really nice people, but was a little disappointed in the tortas. The chile and meat are good but the birote is the really thick, hard kind that's enclosed on the sides...and they cut it through the middle vertically instead of horizontally so for most bites the birote taste overwhelms the meat taste. I would use a thinner birote and cut through the middle horizontally like this:

lel the reason alot of San Anto Beans hate Chipotle is becuase it's not "authentic enough" and by that they mean the meats aren't fried in deep oil nor the beans and there's lil to no saturated fat. Which the traditional mexican diet from mexico is more healthier and more whole based on corn tortilla, boiled spiced bean, guac and rice. hardly any cheese cept goat cheese sparingly. And usually its either goat cheese or meat as the protein, not both.

That's why you see these beans come up across the border and no longer look like beans but human sized greasy smelly footballs.

Chipotle is damn fine. It's authentic for a fast food restaurant if you order the tacos in corn tortilla with chicken and mild salsa aka pico de gallo.

That shit at El Chivito as hot as everyone claims? I have never known chile de arbol to be overly hot. I use that shit all the time with some onion, garlic, salt, and water to make salsa for carnitas, pretty good salsa when you roast everything first, blend, and then strain that shit out.
