I’m in Toluca right now, in the state of mexico, at my uncle’s house. I just had a delicious dinner called molcajete, which is pretty similar to fajitas, but much better. You have strips of steak, chorizo, nopal (a cactus), and green onion, all pre-grilled, and then some mexican cheese whose name i don’t know. While you’re getting that ready, you heat the molcajete (or two if you have them) on the stove, upside down, until they’re really really hot - you’ll probably see the surface boiling from the various juices that have been absorbed by the volcanic stone. Then you put the hot molcajete on the table, fill it with tomatillo sauce, and put the strips of meat, nopal and cheese in it, from which you make some tacos. it’s really good, and stays hot because the molcajete stays hot for a long time.

i’ve also had some really good enchiladas at some random street market near my grandma’s house in naucalpan, tacos de bistek, al pastor, costilla, and more, a ton of enchiladas made by my abue cuca, bacaláu, romeritos, “ros-bif,” sopes, mole, torta de milanesa, and i don’t remember what else, but all of it good, and none of which i’ll be able to eat in the U.S, at least not nearly as good.

well, i’m off now.
