Those are the Empanadas from La Cantina de San Angel. I got the green sauce on the side for dipping. They were very good, if just a little on the greasy side. If you know how to make corn tortillas they'd be very easy to make at home.
Aaand, the last review: Whispering Canyon Cafe
I did not catch the chef's name, unfortunately. I was feeling a little frazzled (I came down with a cold the next morning).
I admit, I mainly came here for the shakes and gluten free cornbread. Like I said, I'm not much for meat, and the pasta was not given as an option on the menu.
Salads came out first. Vinegars tend to make my belly go kafloofery, so I only ate a tiny bit. What I had was fine. DH liked it lots, so he ate some for me.
The shakes were excellent.
And the cornbread was to die for.
The reason y'all are getting a picture of a half eaten piece is because this was the last piece. I had planned to ask for a second and take a picture of that - and I did ask for a second, but apparently the staff the night before had forgotten to bake a loaf for today. I got the previous night's last piece (since our reservation was for opening time). Sorry to anyone else who went that night and got none.
But it was very, very good. Perfectly moist and just perfectly sweet (IMO).
DH and I were able to share a skillet without coleslaw - I don't know if the coleslaw was left off for my sake or if they just forgot it or what?
I took a bite of the chicken and didn't like it. The mashed potatoes were good (I think the ones at 50's are better, though). The rest of the meat was not anything I wanted, and I don't eat beans. DH thought the brisket was very, very dry, but that the ribs were excellent.
My desert was a fruit plate. I was embarrassed by folks singing happy birthday to me, and completely forgot to snap a picture. It was supposed to be ice cream and fruit, but it looked like yogurt, granola, and fruit? Like I said earlier, I just ate a couple pieces of the fruit (out of season strawberries and a piece of pineapple) and avoided the yogurt/granola bit. I was fairly stuffed anyway - those pieces of cornbread are huge.
The cornbread and shakes were awesome. I don't know if we'd go back, though, at least not for dinner.
Anyway, those were my meals this trip.
I was planning on grabbing a Toblerone in Germany but didn't see any there now that the Werther's shop has moved in. I did see some in the Festival Center but wasn't going to walk all the way back there for a candy bar.
