First up is Little Mexico: Located South First Street. We were too blazed or just plain hyped up to notice exact directions, but if you care about La Virgen de Guadalupe or pimply salsa, you'll seek out this South Austin treasure spot.
Tacos from Little Mexico are grown fresh from this field except none of familia Hype Headz actually ordered tacos during our stay.
What was ordered from Little Mexico was:
1. Carne Guisada Plate
2. Two Orders of Enchiladas de Monterrey(?) con Queso Fresco
3. Enchiladas de Queso Blanco y Poblanas de Rajas
Due to the subjective nature of taste, I can only judge the Enchiladas de Queso Blanco y Poblanas de Rajas. The cheese was the cheesiest it could be, stretching beyond my satisfaction for this classic Mexican delight. The actual bell peppers were scarcely scattered throughout the dish,leaving me as wanting as a little Mexican boy without shoes. Rice and beans were supplied, fortifying the authentic cuisine and I can honestly say that I appreciate a restaurant that doesn't forget to add some leafy foliage. A compact, tidy salad complemented and cooled my palate whenever the rich Mexican spices began to overpower. Two flour tortillas were also thrown in to seal the delicious deal. Now, tortillas are essential to any valley kid. Tortillas are what make a taco kid. Unfortunately, the tortillas at Little Mexico ultimately failed. They were not homemade, which is a mortal sin for any restaurant that flaunts itself as being part of the heart of Mexico.
As for the other meals, I can only say that all food was consumed with vigor. Andy seeked out every Carne Guisada nugget and Courtney cleaned up Caitlin's straggling rice.
Salsa Verdict: Delicious, in no way tripped out. A 4 on the spicy meter.
Final Verdict: Pimp but not that pimp.
* As a side note, Taco Kidz fully ally with the Burger Kidz.
