Best Picks
• Grilled beef, seafood, turkey, or chicken with saut©ed vegetables and fresh salsa.
• Try guacamole with cucumber or jicama slices to dip.
• Try ceviche - seafood that has been marinated with citrus juices and served with chopped bell pepper, onions, and parsley.
• Fajitas (without the tortilla) - saut©ed chicken, beef, turkey, or seafood with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes with fresh salsa.
• Try chicken with a mole sauce (a mixture of chiles, spices, and chocolate. Yes, chocolate! Really. Try it. It is so delicious).
• Try chili verde - a spicy pork stew with tomatillos (a vegetable resembling green tomatoes).
