  What are the best Mexican Mercados in the city?

  2 0 There is La Conosupo on 85th and Greenwood, then down the same side of the street is another place that has fewer things but alot of pinatas in the window. La Conosupo has wonderful pupusas, a yumminess from El Salvador that are masa and cheese with various toppings, rather like huaraches from Mexico.

  2 0 You're right about the elote/esquites difference! Yes, beverages--how about a pajarete? Milk from a just milked cow funneled in to a half full bottle of tequila and swigged from the bottle--sort of hair of the doggish, but before you've even made it home. There is canned (!!) Pulque at The Spanish Table on Western not too bad but certainly not like buying it from a questionable source in the back and beyond of Mexico City!

  2 0 And while we're at it goth jenny, every evening as it's getting dark and until 11 o'clock or so, there are carts that make a particular high pitched screech that tell everyone that the smokey steamed platanos, those big black bananas that you see in latino markets, are here to be peeled open and drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. You can eat them on the way home or take thenm in to be eaten with coffee or milk before bed. Oh! and in the morning is Sahuayo, Michoacan, don Leonardo comes around with a wheelbarrow full of cooked-over-wood chunks of pumpkin. You ask for the piece you want and he wraps it in a bit of pink butcher paper, or the plate you have brought outside for the purpose. Have fun, goth jenny, when you take your much needed food trip to Mexico! Kathleen @ Señor Moose commented about 1 year ago

  What else you got, Mexico?

  5 0 Esquites, corn on or off the cob, is sold on street corners, outside churches and in plazas all over Mexico. The whole cob, which is longer and with a kernel much chewier than one can find in this country, is slathered with crema or mayonnaise (GASP! unrefigerated!!)then covered with cotija cheese and shake of chile de arbol. Eaten off the cob as one wanders the plaza is dee-light-ful. For the more dainty among us, Esquites can be eaten from a plastic cup with some of the cooking water, a good squirt of lime juice and a big pinch of ground chile de arbol. YUMMMM!

  What interesting/fun/non-trashy-plastic/non-candy items to put in a pinata?

  2 0 In Mexico along with all the candy and trashy plastic stuff we dropped in separate rolls of serpentine, they are really fun to toss or throw. The strips of paper unravel and the kids wind up running around with "wigs" of curly paper. I have seen packages of 12 rolls at Target. Have fun!

  How do I make my enchiladas crazy-delicious?

  3 0 Traditionally enchiladas are street food in Mexico so they are not baked. which is the case at Senor Moose. If you want to intensify your ToDieFor sauce, first dip--carefully!!--each tortilla in a bit of hot oil for about 5 seconds, stack on a plate while you fry the rest, THEN roll the tortilla around whatever filling and since you are baking the enchiladas fit them into the baking dish. Top with more sauce and bake until bubbly. You are cooking the tortillas in the hot oil which adds another layer of flavor. If you are worried about the oil, paper towel it off. Good luck!
